Chapter 4 Prosthetic Brain
Russell was originally a world-class prosthetic engineer.
When he heard this, he immediately understood the train of thought of Shenzhi Heavy Industry.
The prosthesis of other parts can be changed at will, because only the brain is the main body of thinking. After the other parts are replaced, as long as they can trick the brain, they can maintain their compatibility. Their ego is always in the brain, still in place.
But if you want to transplant a "prosthetic brain", how can you transfer the consciousness in the brain to the mechanical prosthetic brain?
This is the biggest difficulty, and it is also the wall of limits faced by the "cyber immortality" technology conceived by the Cyber Church.
- And the monkey-faced eagle is a breaking point.
He has completed the consciousness upload. With technical support from the elves, he mimicked this lost "dragon technology...... Although it is not yet known what the completion rate is.
But one thing is certain.
That is, if the monkey-faced eagle's consciousness can really exist in the form of data and programs, it means that its consciousness can be downloaded - since it can be stored in the program, it also means that it can be compatible with the mechanical prosthetic brain.
The false Tokiphat needed this technique in order to construct a "second mother tree" to throw his consciousness into the new body.
But what the Theosophical Heavy Industries and the Cyber Church need is to throw consciousness into pure "machinery" -
Because if they can't download the uploaded consciousness into the body again, it means that the so-called "mind uploading" is just another kind of suicide, and it is not the eternal life they advertise at all.
"So far, no one has been able to complete the mind upload, and no one has actually held the uploaded source file in their hands. This means that the Divine Heavy Industry is not sure what kind of brain it should be created to be able to carry consciousness. The monkey-faced eagle is a cherished one-of-a-kind, because he has indeed succeeded in turning his thinking into a set of 0s and 1s.
"But before him, Neurosophical Heavy Industries could only use experiments to the extent of 'transmitting the consciousness of the human brain to the electronic brain.'"
Amirus said lightly: "Of course...... They consume a lot of 'brains'.
"Until the end, they didn't create a real, complete prosthetic brain.
"βbut in the process of this research, they created a lot of 'synths'."
This is what Amirus is talking about, the synths who sparked the rebellion.
"Their consciousness has not been rectified by data, but it is directly poured into the prosthetic brain. This means that severe cyberpsychosis is almost inevitable to occur - almost everyone has become insane, but there are always exceptions.
"There are some younger children who have barely survived this 'thinking rectification experiment'. It also serves as a valuable observation sample to continue to assist in experiments. β
"Younger children's ......"
Russell muttered.
He didn't have time to get angryβhe had already realized the crux of the matter: "Something to do with psionism?" β
"That's right."
Amirus said contemptuously, "They didn't understand what it meant to be a spiritual relative, so they carried out such a rough transplant. The root of the psychic disorder lies in the depths of the soul, and they transplant consciousness and body without the characteristics of the psychic affinity, which is certainly incompatible.
And their way of making up for it is to transplant the child who has just developed psychic disease into a prosthetic brain. Their psilogenesis soon became a kind of 'cyber affinity'. In other words, their souls see this 'cyberization' as a new kind of spiritual affinity, and let their souls merge with the prosthetic brain. β
That is to say...... They still haven't solved the adaptability of the ordinary person's thinking upload? β
"That's right. There is no doubt that this kind of thinking rectification has gone the wrong way...... This technology is pointless if only newborns who don't know a language can upload their thoughts. However, this is how Shensane Heavy Industries created this 'synth' and 'raised' them in order to continue observation and research. Now that they're in their teens, they're 'teenagers' in human terms.
"They are like artificial intelligence, but they don't have that kind of computing power and learning ability. And their unique 'simulated personality' limits what they can do.
"So far, under the control of public opinion in Theosophical Heavy Industries, the existence of these synths, along with the entire prosthetic brain research, is a secret. Because of this, the matter of the synth rebellion cannot be solved by internal forces. It can only be borrowed from the outer islands...... Because this incident cannot be leaked from beginning to end. β
"If I'm not mistaken," Russell pondered, "their motive for rebellion is because of the monkey-faced eagle." β
"Because of the existence of the monkey-faced eagle, all the previous research of Shenzhi Heavy Industries has been overturned and invalidated."
Amirus looked relaxed and smiled without pressure: "Although it is not clear if they were aware of their intention to destroy these synths, or if they had internal sympathizers who told them about the existence of monkey-faced eagles." The fact that the synths will not increase in number will no longer be shaken. They themselves are outcasts created as an experimental intermediate state, and they will never see the light of day for the rest of their lives unless the thought upload technology is proven to be impossible to assist. What keeps them alive is just the meager 'hope'.
"Now that hope has been completely extinguished, it has proven that its existence is worthless - and it is only natural that the synths will rebel."
ββ¦β¦ I don't really want to care. β
Russell leaned back and sighed, "This is obviously their own mess." Let them clean up after themselves. β
"Yes, that's what I thought. It's a hassle to deal with it, and I don't want to be a part of it. β
Amirus nodded approvingly, "That's why I left this matter to you." β

"You owe me once, it's time to pay it back."
Amirus said lightly.
"You mean the prosthetic hand?"
Russell gripped his powerful left hand.
His original pitch-black engineering prosthetic hand has been transformed into a combat prosthetic hand given by Amirus.
It is white all over, slender and elegant. Using the highest-strength materials produced by Shenzhi Heavy Industries, the strength is increased to the point where it can easily block heavy bullets without being particularly outrageous.
If electricity is applied, the weight can be further reduced by magnetic force. And with further increase in power, you can also increase the output - grip and impact can be increased to a fairly strong level.
It also has four spare batteries that can last for a while without recharging. It is also implanted with a psionic weapon made of "Heaven's Misfortune", which can unfold polarized shields after rushing into certain emotions.
It is more suitable for Russell's current work than Russell's fragile engineering prosthetics.
- It has to be said that Russell still failed to live up to his mentor's expectations.
She wanted Russell to become a cybersecurity engineer, but instead he did the job of slashing people.
"Not really...... It's just a gift. β
Amirus chuckled and said, "You owe me once, because of the 'prototype' thing.
"That house was destroyed by an inexplicable fire. Even the transparent glass walls melted and decomposed, but no waste was produced...... We all know that this particular flame cannot be something that the 'Immortal Instrument' can do, nor is it within the power of the 'budding lover'.
"That's something that only high-level spells or the power of the Holy Rank can do. And you didn't report that you have both abilities. β
Looking at Russell, who suddenly fell silent, Amirus just smiled: "But you don't have to worry...... Because I helped you take care of it at the time. I said it was because I took care of my heroes and did it myself.
"Do you know the godfather of the Brokers? He has a principle, that is, if I help you, you will also help me...... Do you see what I mean? β
"Okay," Russell sighed helplessly, "I'll take the job." But to what extent? Just help them clean up? Kill all these synths? β
"Not necessarily."
Amirus narrowed his eyes, like a kind ordinary old man: "You don't need to help them deal with it so cleanly, you and I are not from Tongshen Island...... Just press it down beforehand. Convincing the kids to hand over the mechs, or letting them leave Tongshen Island, is fine. You can go to other empty islands, or you can go to land...... Anyway, they are not afraid of radiation. Happy Island may also be willing to accept them, after all, the chairman is a 'good person'. The church might be able to accept them as well.
"It's really not possible, just destroy that mechβlet the red-based mechs that can instantly destroy one-sixth of Tongshen Island remove the threat to Tongshen Island. That's your task. β
