"Bushu-san?

Introduce you to a new colleague...... Nagato Yuki,A genius girl who is very insightful in the field of brain science and thinking,And like you, she studied in the long point of the computer school.,It's your junior~"

"Hello ......."

"Hello ......."

"Ah...... Ha, haha...... Then, you two get along well, I'm looking forward to an improved model of learning device~

In vain~"

At the end of April,Yuki, who has only been in the school city for two months, finally got the opportunity to participate in the "Absolute Ability Evolution Project" because of her thesis offensive one after another.

Maybe it's because she's not trusted when she first arrives.,She's only involved in the part related to the "learning device".,Although she also had the opportunity to meet Misaka's sister.,But I don't know what happened to the clones who used the "learning device.。

But......

Looking at her face, which was expressionless no matter what, as if she wasn't interested in anything, even if she knew the purpose of those clones, she would probably still have a calm expression on her face.

There is already a weird girl like her in the institute - the black goth loli opposite her with drooping eyelids, and the genius girl who has been making a name for herself in the field of biology and psychiatry since she was a child.

But compared with the new puppet-like Nagato-san, the cloth bundle of dead fish eyes is more like a human being, and it seems that this world is really "blue out of blue is better than blue", and the "front wave" of the cloth bundle may soon be slapped to death on the beach by Nagato's "back wave".

"Good, you have very few words, that's a prerequisite for being a good researcher."

When they met for the first time, Fushu Toshinobu silently stared at Yuki Nagato for at least 120 seconds, and then affirmed the other party's quiet character in an indifferent tone.

Since then, whether in the research institute or in school, the communication between the two of them is limited to work, neither close nor estranged, just a very ordinary colleague relationship. But at least...... Being able to communicate shows that Youxi's strength in scientific research has still been recognized by Bushu's predecessors.

“…… Nagato, your improved program has increased the efficiency of your learning device by 327%, and the information retrieval rate of the Misaka Network has increased by 68% due to the new search method you offer.

But, SISTERS still doesn't have any emotional development, and your theory that a very large amount of information naturally gives rise to consciousness and emotion is still not fully proven. ”

One day in mid-May, while flipping through a report full of charts and data that ordinary people could not understand, he summarized and evaluated Yuki's research work during this period.

"There's nothing wrong with my theory, it's just that it takes an extremely long time to generate consciousness and emotions from information alone—far beyond the length of human lifespan. The presence of the physical body shortens this time considerably, but it also has 'side effects' that can affect consciousness and emotions with hormones.

After using the 'learning device', the consciousness of SISTERS has been rapidly formed in the shortest possible time, but the generation of feelings still needs a relatively long time to accumulate - the baby's crying and laughing belong to the expression of their own physiological condition, not the expression of their own emotions, babies and all animal larvae do not have feelings, only in the long process of growth will gradually produce feelings, this is the natural law that SISTERS cannot violate.

In fact, the accumulation of information on the Misaka Network is far from reaching the level of generating collective consciousness, let alone generating emotions in the collective consciousness.

Even for individuals, they do not survive long enough for feelings to develop to the point where they are noticeable. Simply piling up information will not speed up the development of feelings, but the survival time of not being able to obtain new information will not have the slightest meaning for the development of feelings, and it is just 'standby'.

Although the individual consciousness with the physical body can also share the main content of new information through the Misaka network, the information formed by the refinement of various information received and generated by the physical body ignores the seemingly inconsequential content and the inexplicable "bug fragments", and the continuous accumulation of these two is the main factor in the formation of feelings. ”

In the face of the "But" of the predecessors of the cloth bundle, Yuki made an extremely positive explanation with a mechanical voice that was flat and uninhibited, like an electronic synthesized sound. However, when the word "standby" is mentioned, Yuki's tone produces a rare slight pause for unknown reasons.

“……”

As a gifted researcher, Fushu Toshin, who had an extreme sensitivity to any anomaly, immediately sensed something, and she rarely lifted her eyelids of dead fish eyes, which immediately appeared to be large, and looked at Yuxi's "empty" calm face with a creepy "insight" gaze, and after a long time said slowly:

"Oh~Well, do you need a longer 'survival time'?

Now that you've learned most of the contents of 'The Plan', the survival time of the test subject cannot be changed. MaybeWe can apply one or two of the 'standby' SISTERS to test your theory, but suggesting that it would be better to convert the remaining invalid 'standby' time for the SISTERS into effective 'new information' acquisition time.

I ...... before I was also aware of your theory, and the indirect experience that 'standby' SISTERS gained through learning devices or the Misaka network was indeed slightly different from the direct experience they received in person.

The 'BUG' that was ignored when uploading was Supposing~that was the fragment of feelings, and what Misaka Network obtained was always the information that eliminated the emotional factor, and of~course could not allow other individuals to obtain the accumulation of changes at the emotional level. ”

"That's right. In order for other individuals to also gain the accumulation of feelings, it is necessary to upload complete information, and other individuals must also have a complete repetitive experience, and this complete experience cannot be accelerated by the learning device at present, which is the basic acceleration principle of the learning device, which is to eliminate the useless information and only instill useful information into the brain.

But to have other individuals experience a complete piece of information again is nothing more than multiple copies of the same information, and it can also be seen as copying the same consciousness into multiple bodies. Then, when a physical body dies, the next physical body that replicates the same consciousness is activated, and eventually a consciousness that produces feelings must be obtained. ”

"But it's also the only consciousness."

"Yes."

“……”

“……”

As a genius girl, Fushu Toshin quickly understood Yuki's theory, and then the two of them fell into a state of being speechless "again".

Normally, once they fall into this state, they will consciously "part ways" to continue their respective research work, but this time Yuki was just about to turn around and leave, but the cloth Shuxin behind her suddenly stopped her:

"Wait......

What do you think......

What is the difference between SISTERS and laboratory animals? ”
