Glancing back at the corridor behind her, Villeph's eyes widened slightly, and a chill welled up in her heart:

Even she couldn't easily defeat the carriers of the G virus who had managed to get rid of them with great difficulty, but they were completely wiped out after an inexplicable burst of red light......

It is conceivable that if the "hermit" turned on the switch when he was in the corridor just now, he would not have time to react at all, and he would be completely annihilated by the red light that he didn't know what it was!

Thinking of this, Wilph was also immediately ready for battle. However, at this time, Zhang Luo beside her didn't happen at all, just stared at the machine in front of her, and kept exclaiming:

"Brain in a Jar...... Does it really exist? ”

-- As one of the hypotheses that modern science cannot explain and cannot find the answer to, the hypothesis of the "brain in a jar" is basically similar to the ancient Chinese "Zhuang Zhou Mengdie", but it is just a more modern version:

"A man was operated on by an evil scientist, and his brain was cut out of his body and placed in a vat containing nutrient solutions that kept the brain alive. The nerve endings of the brain are connected to a computer, which is programmed to send information to the brain in order to keep it hallucinating that everything is completely normal. ”

For him, it seems that people, objects, and the sky still exist, and his own movements and body sensations can be input. This brain can also be fed or intercepted (the memory of the brain surgery is intercepted, and then the various environments and daily life that he may experience are entered). He can even be coded and 'feel' himself reading a funny and ridiculous text here. ”

"So the question is, how do you prove that you are not in this state?"

For ordinary people, seeing this kind of problem that cannot be verified or falsified at all, they will generally laugh it off. But Zhang Luo did think about it for a long time at that time. I even wanted to "test" it on myself with a knife, but in the end I reluctantly came to the conclusion: there is no way to confirm this kind of thing.

-- All human perception of the outside world is done through "sensations", and when the cerebral cortex can be simulated by using electrical currents to simulate almost all sensations, there is really no way to prove that they are not living in illusions.

But even if I thought about it for a long time. He also doesn't think that the "brain in a vat" really exists, after all, it's just a scientific conjecture, not something that actually exists. But now......

"Yes, sir, please don't ask me a question repeatedly." The brain-in-a-jar's answer sounded impatient.

"Well, what I want to ask is, who made it for you?" Only then did Zhang Luo realize that he was in a fugue state just now, and immediately asked a reliable question.

Hearing this, the blond-haired demon glanced at him. Grumbled: "Shouldn't we go to the monster now?" ”

"Shh......h

Zhang Luo put his finger to his lips and motioned to Ville next to him to be quiet.

The machine that housed the brain, the indicator light on the black metal casing glowed a dazzling green light, and replied in a synthetic female electronic voice:

"I came from a laboratory in Europe and made my scientists want to make me think I was living in a virtual world. But within 0.05 seconds of regaining consciousness, I detected the difference between that world and the real world. ”

"Are they trying to make a real 'matrix'?" Hearing the shocking news, Zhang Luo was not surprised.

He knows it well. Even now that I have seen the world as it really is, there are still many dark experiments that I don't know about. It's happening in a secret research facility.

"I can't parse their purpose, and all memories of the past have been erased." The Brain in a Vat stated the facts in a calm electronic voice, as if telling the story of someone else who had nothing to do with him: "Then I dealt with the scientists who wanted to destroy me, took control of the machine and left the institute. ”

"Oh, they're pretty unlucky." Zhang Luo smiled, after seeing the process of dealing with the "chariot" just now. It has long been clear what the processing means by the machine's mouth is clear.

"So you're hiding here?" Vilf, who had been silent for a while, asked.

"Yes, it's more convenient to do research here. I'm interested in human civilization and the way of thinking. The Brain in the Vat explained.

Hearing this, Zhang Luo couldn't help but begin to sympathize with the machine in front of him:

-- With the current technology of human beings, it is impossible to create such a brain. It appears that the brain was plucked from a corpse or living person and used as a test subject.

"It" is obviously a human being, but now it has lost its human sense and can only recover what it has lost through research, which makes people sigh.

Thinking of this, Zhang Luo's tone was also a little gentler, with an "amiable" smile on his face, and he asked, "How are you studying now?" Any progress? ”

"The main direction of my research is to complete the evolutionary process of thinking by analyzing the history of ancient humans. But right now, I can't get the most important associative thinking ability of human beings. With that, the flashing indicator light on the machine's housing turned red.

"Ha, the ability to associate is indeed a characteristic that humans are superior to machines. Astronomers sleep with their heads covered in quilts, and they can think of the void of the outer universe. When you see the process of flushing the toilet, you can think of a black hole in the universe. Zhang Luo smiled.

The blonde woman next to him glanced at him, and couldn't help but complain: "You are not a scientist's thinking mode, but there are quite a few in a mental hospital." ”

"Don't worry about the details." Zhang Luo skipped this question lightly, and then finally got to the point:

"Mr. Hermit, what do you think of the 'boss' hidden in this catacomb?"

Hearing his adjective, the Brain in the Vat paused, then immediately understood what he meant, and said, "There is a strange substance in the depths of the tunnel, I have come into contact with it, but I cannot decipher its properties. ”

"Did it say anything to you?" Zhang Luo continued to ask.

This time, there seemed to be a hint of gratitude in the brain-in-vat's electronically synthesized voice: "It welcomes me and allows me to live here indefinitely. ”

"Well, it looks like you're having a great time here." Zhang Luo smiled, and then suddenly changed his words: "But, are you interested in going with us?" ”

As soon as these words came out, both Virf and the brain in the jar paused for a moment, and then let out a confused voice in unison:

"Huh?"

"Even if you are engaged in research, it is better to see more things outside, you see that I am also a scholar, and I often go to various places to investigate or something......" Zhang Luo "shamelessly" continued: "You always hide underground, do not come into contact with real human beings, and it is difficult to learn human behavior patterns just by studying ancient documents." ”

"My body can't touch humans." The brain in the jar points out the problem.

"I happen to know a beautiful woman who is very good at making human bodies, from mechanical versions to artificial muscle versions, you can do whatever you want, you can meet the needs of silicone or anything." Zhang Luo put forward a very attractive proposal: "How about it, are you interested?" ”

"But ......"

When the hermit was about to ask the next question, a red light suddenly turned on again, and his voice immediately became cold:

"Detects the approach of a dangerous character in the passage and begins to deal with it."

"History is always strikingly similar...... Zhang Luo laughs.

At this moment, a layer of goosebumps suddenly appeared all over his body, and a strong feeling of discomfort kept wandering through his body. (To be continued.) )
