Lyle, who could not prove that there was an unknown being spying on him, did not mention it to Deboro and Popolo, he did not want to be taken as crazy, and it was not so much that he and Popolo, who had not yet adapted to being a maid, did not know how the maid was going to work, and did not report to Lyle about the events of last night, which combined to make the next morning still peaceful.

Deboro patrolled the perimeter again, and Popolo remained by Lyle's side to protect him. The two sisters are not usually so cautious, but there is a glass man in the team who immediately receives a bento as soon as he is hit by an energy bomb, and he can't be too careful.

After confirming the safety of their surroundings, the twins, at Lyle's request, used the inherent functions of precise manipulation of objects to make wooden toothbrushes, rattan baskets, straw hats, knives, forks and dishes and other daily necessities from local materials. Lyle, on the other hand, could only sit by the campfire, serving as the spring commander while munching on his breakfast.

"Yesterday's barbecue dinner and today's jerky soup with berries are actually great, but sooner or later we will get tired of eating it." Before being thrown into the freezer for thousands of years, Lyle lived a life of a wanted man in hiding, and at that time, human society was out of control due to a super epidemic, and the quality of his food had always been terrible, and his food requirements were not picky, but only a reasonable degree of precautions.

Lyle, who asked X to be a guest chef back then, would not consider doing it himself: "Deboro, Popolo, I want you to learn cooking from today...... Well, you probably haven't studied before, have you? ”

It's impossible to learn from the perspective of demand, and you can only feed cats and dogs to make delicious dishes, but from the perspective of interest, everything is possible.

Boboluo raised his right hand weakly, and the tree vines in the pale golden energy ring in front of him were weaving rapidly, and he said softly when he heard the words: "...... If you want to make wine, you can do it a little. ”

"Wine?" Lyle was stunned and said, "You guys...... Although it is designed to dispose of liquids containing impurities, the local temperature in the body will be abnormal during the process of handling alcohol. ”

"We kind of like that feeling." Deboro replied.

“…… That was an unexpected outcome. Lyle thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Deboro, Bobolo, if I can modify your taste feedback system, would you mind accepting the modification?" ”

"Huh?" The twins couldn't help but stop at what they were doing.

Lyle remembered the intelligent system left by humans thousands of years ago, and hurriedly added: "This is not an order, you can completely refuse it - after all, it is your body, and you have the absolute right to decide." ”

The sisters looked at each other, and although they could not say that they had made up their minds, they were clearly inclined to one of the answers, but they were still incredulous: "...... Can it be done? ”

"To be honest, I'm not sure, just as you like alcohol more than I expected." Lyle picked up a slice of jerky in his left hand and a few berries in his right hand, heading towards the twins, "Food has ups and downs, which is naturally an attribute of the food itself, but how do we humans perceive this attribute?" ”

"Taste bud cells?" Unlike cooking, Deboro learned about biology out of interest.

Lyle shook his head and said, "No, it comes down to feedback signals, different tastes trigger different cells to produce signals, and these signals are transmitted to the brain, and the brain turns them into 'taste'...... All I can do is create a dense array of flavor-sensitive sensors on your tongue and transmit these signals to your artificial souls, but how your artificial souls ultimately react to these signals is beyond my calculations. ”

Maybe it doesn't create a pleasant taste at all, but some kind of interference signal that will cause great pain to the android.

Bopolo wondered, "Don't you know, master?" ”

“…… It's almost time to talk about it. Lyle sighed lightly and did not answer directly, "The remnants of the intelligent systems that humans have installed on you are standard code that sets out your personality, what you can do, and what you can't do. But the artificial soul I originally invented, without that kind of code, was based on the brain of a living being. ”

The twins were puzzled, including their own bodies, they had scanned the body structure of the android countless times, and the humanoid parts were everywhere, but there was no humanoid brain.

Lyle put down the jerky and berries in his hand, shook his fingers and said: "Including humans, it was initially just a combination of jingzi and luanzi, and then under the influence of genetic information, it continued to undergo mitosis, gradually differentiated into various organs, and developed to a certain degree of birth - the problem is here, at this time, the baby is at best an incomparably complex collection of cells, why does it produce consciousness and become a living entity?" ”

The "............" twin sisters were silent, this was already involved in the academic field, and it was not for them to interject.

"I can't find the answer in the field of science, and for the time being, I can only support the [Soul Doctrine] in the field of religion, where the gods attach their souls to the baby's body when a new life is born, and the gods take the soul away when the life dies." Lyle laughed to himself, if there were other scientists in the world, he would definitely be criticized, but for some reason, he just felt that such an unscientific guess was the correct answer, "Then I couldn't help but think, if an incomparably complex collection of cells can attract the soul to cling to it, then an incomparably complex mechanical brain can also become a vessel for the soul?" ”

“！？” Deboro and Bopolo control the rattan basket and straw hat in mid-air weaving with energy control and fall to the ground.

Seeing this reaction, Lyle couldn't help but smile: "I still don't know whether the soul theory is right or wrong, but it is clear that the 'mechanical brain' I created has been a great success, and perhaps someone will come up with a better hypothesis in the future, and find out that I am just a blind cat and a dead mouse, but for now, let me call your consciousness [artificial soul]." As for the artificial soul, I am stupid and cannot give accurate calculations and predictions for the time being, and attempts to increase the sense of taste may end in failure. ”

"Please, please wait a minute, master......"

"That is to say......"

It's good to taste or something, and it's been a thousand years since it was created that the twin sisters really understand their existence.

"Yes, you are just physically different, essentially the same as humans, there is no need to worship me as a 'god', and there is no need to treat yourself as a 'prop'." Lyle turned his gaze to the other side of the campfire, where there was an invisible listener, "One day, you will be like the prototype Deboro and the prototype Bobolo from a thousand years ago, and the artificial soul will break through the blockade of the intelligent system, right?" ”

（…… Artificial Soul ...... Breaking through the blockade...... Right there, the mechanical lifeform Network Consciousness-N2 muttered.
