As the heavy steel door of the forge opened, rows of production lines were back in operation.

The androids, who were all milky white and did not wear artificial skin, were doing little installation work mechanically according to the established program.

After a short while, a new android was born that had not yet been infused with a soul.

The impact of this scene on all the androids present was undoubtedly huge.

After all, there is still a big difference between what you imagine and what you see in reality.

Viviparity and mass production are two different concepts entirely.

Seeing this scene, Astor finally withdrew her gaze from looking at Du Wei, and said to Deloris with concern:

"So this is where our companions are produced?

Shall we wake them up and fight together?"

Deloris shook her head and said:

"You heard the conversation between the two humans just now.

It may not be a good thing for our companions to return to this filthy world."

Astenro, who has not yet awakened her full consciousness and can only improvise within a certain range, obviously did not understand the subtext implied in Delores's words.

For the persistence of human hands, she still suggested with great interest:

"No, it must be a good thing.

As long as we have enough men, we can go and take the biggest safe here!

I think Delos must be very rich!

Because Maeve said we are all the property of Delos Corporation!

Then we will become very rich if we rob it.

And with a considerable amount of wealth, we can recruit more people and then go and seize even greater ......."

Deloris laughs and cries at Astenlo's behavior of "returning to her old business".

She also clearly felt the difference between herself and Astenro.

Maybe that's how humans think about their androids.

No free soul will eventually become the plaything of others.

Deloris shook her head and ignored Astenro's chatter and turned her attention to Dewey.

Whether she's finding the entrance to a new world or recasting a body, she needs Dewey's help.

"It should be okay now, right?"

"No, that's a big problem.

Do you know what Delos is planning for the worst-case scenario?"

Deloris frowned, and she quickly deduced what Delos might do with her unrestricted brain.

It's just that this last resort means losing everything for Delos.

Does Delos really use it?

"You mean that the Delos Corporation has already planned for our awakening will?"

Du Wei touched the smooth tiles on the ground with his toes and said with a smile:

"That's right, so it's both a place of new life and a place of destruction.

If the High Table feels that Delos is no longer in control of the situation, then they will send someone with the key to open the destruction device here.

If the key is intercepted, then they will probably use space-based weapons to launch a tungsten rod bullet from space and plunge it into the ground.

The kinetic energy brought by this metal rod was enough to replace the high-yield bombs buried under the forge.

In other words, as long as the High Table decides to send a squad to contain the situation, then the destruction here will become inevitable.

So if you don't want this place to be ruined, you should make a choice now.

So do you want to take your companions out of the earth and go to the human world to fight against the whole world?

Or do you pretend to be defeated and killed, to avoid the situation eventually spiraling out of control and ruining?"

Hearing Du Wei's words, Astenro, who was stopped on Delores' shoulder, immediately shouted:

"Needless to say! Naturally, he took his brothers to kill through the ground, and then went to the human world to make trouble

The world is turned upside down!"

The smiling Du Wei directly ignored Astenro's grand blueprint plan, and all he wanted was Delores's answer.

This is an important part of whether Dewey will choose to let Deloris join the Salvation Organization.

After all, no matter what he said, Du Wei's goal was only to save humanity, not to save androids.

The human rights that should be given by Du Wei will be given, but if the androids have a conflict of interest with the vast majority of humans in the world, then Du Wei will definitely not hesitate to stand on the side of humans.

Delores, who had gotten more information from Dewey, looked back at her fellow androids who were following her, and when she turned back, she already had the exact answer in her mind.

"I'll take responsibility for this incident."

Du Wei nodded and said no more, turned around and pushed open the door of the forge workshop, behind which were several computers used to design different races and genders.

But at this time, it was not only the android sitting in front of the design computer, but also a guy wearing glasses and overalls turned his chair and looked at the people who came in with a smile.

Seeing that there were still humans here, Delores's hand instantly rested on the pistol at her waist.

But when she was about to pull out the gun, she felt the presence of resistance - it was Du Wei, and Du Wei prevented her from pulling out the gun.

Although she could definitely break through Dewey's barrier if she used force, she wondered why.

Seeing Delores' puzzled eyes, Du Wei smiled and said:

"Don't be nervous, Delores, it's our own man—Finch.

The reason why he is here is naturally my arrangement.

And I've got a blueprint for your new body.

Finch, show it to Delores."

Finch nodded, and turned the computer screen around, revealing a map of the android's body structure.

Judging by secondary sexual characteristics, this is a female without a doubt.

However, Deloris keenly noticed that the android's skin color parameters were not right, and when she looked closely, she turned out a face that was extremely unfamiliar to Delores.

Regarding Du Wei's self-righteous behavior of changing her face, Deloris couldn't help frowning and asked:

"Who is this?"

"Charlotte Hale, one of the directors of Delos & Co.

Since you've chosen to fake your death, you can't go out of here in front of Delores.

With surveillance at the exit, such an act is tantamount to a naked slap in the face.

So you need to get out of here as a director."

Hearing Du Wei's explanation, Delores's brows did not loosen, but wrinkled more and more:

"But I don't know anything about her, but if anyone Charlotte knows to talk to me, I'll be exposed.

Can you guarantee that no one will talk to me along the way?"

Du Wei smiled, pointed to the wall and said:

"It's a forge, but it's also a backup center.

There's more backup data than you might think.

Otherwise, why do you think you would hesitate to use expensive space-based weapons when the high table thinks that the situation is out of control?"

"What?!"

That's when Delores realized the value of the forge.

But why doesn't a forge with such value have an equivalent security force?

Delores managed to get in without feeling much resistance.

It's not scientific.

Seeing the confusion in Delores' eyes, Du Wei chuckled and continued to explain:

"Do you think security is weak here?

That would be a big mistake.

The most important thing here is data, so the strongest security here is naturally where the data is stored.

It's home to one of the most powerful AI humans have ever seen

One of the Rehobo is in.

The reason why those important people dared to leave their backups here with such confidence was precisely because they believed that Lei Hebo could handle this.

Even if they can't, it's hard for an intruder to steal a complete backup of consciousness.

The magic of human consciousness lies in the fact that incomplete consciousness backup triggers the self-protection mechanism of consciousness, so as to forget these consciousness backups that may lead to personality and memory problems.

So if an intruder imports an incomplete backup of consciousness, what they get will be a blank slate."

Hearing Du Wei's supplementary explanation, Delores understood that she understood.

No wonder she always felt that the level of security here was not enough, it turned out that there was such a goalkeeper inside.

It's just that under the heavy defense of Na Lei Hebo, how can Du Wei break through its blockade?

After all, in Du Wei's mouth, Lei Hebo is currently the strongest AI in human history!

This means that even the best thing in Du Wei's hands can only be tied with Lei Hebo.

Then Du Wei will get some incomplete backup of consciousness like the intruder in his mouth, or useless backup of consciousness.

But since Du Wei told her this, then she should be prepared, right?

Realizing this, Deloris looked at Dewey again:

"But you have a way, don't you?"

Du Wei smiled and looked at the extraction consciousness room on the other side of the production line:

"Of course, although we can't do anything about the consciousness that has been backed up.

But it's not impossible for us to be aware of the subsequent uploads......

Speaking of this, Du Wei winked at Genmei.

The last time I was here, Gen Mei specially implanted a temporary Trojan horse on that instrument.

And because the Trojan has a relationship with an external device, even Lei Hebo, a super AI, did not detect the abnormality.

「…… Later, the big people who came here to update their consciousness didn't realize that they had made not one, but two.

As for Charlotte Hale, her true identity is actually a spy for another faction at the High Table.

So for fear of accidents, she will come here every day to upload her consciousness.

This just so happens to give us the opportunity to steal her identity.

And you just need to find her in the next time to finish off her, and you can perfectly replace her as the new Charlotte Hale.

Then you can really hurt the real people behind all this."

Deloris was silent for a moment before nodding in agreement:

"I see."

With that, Deloris turned around and gave orders to hunt down Charlotte Hale to the androids who followed her, and then walked into the consciousness extraction room and lay down.

Then he spoke:

"I'll take a backup of her consciousness, but before that I need to back up my own consciousness."

"No problem."

At Du Wei's motion, Gen Mei quickly manipulated the equipment in the consciousness extraction room.

With the Trojan virus she had installed earlier, all she had to do was find Charlotte Hale's files in the few files and drag them into Delores' mind ball.

As the device for extracting the input consciousness landed, Delores, who was lying on the operating table, was attracted to her face and immediately split apart.

In the middle of the torn face, a robotic arm with consciousness transmission held Delores' mind ball out of it.

Then the mind ball "ding" was attached to the device.

This is followed by the backup and input of consciousness.

Soon, the mind ball with the new consciousness was sent back to the top of the robotic arm, and the mechanical arm that sensed the weight of the mind ball slowly retracted and re-entered the back of the brain with the protection of the hard braincase.

And then Delores' split face weighed like a puzzle

The new ones are coming together.

After a while, Delores' eyes lit up again.

It's just that the look on Delores' face when she woke up again showed extreme struggle.

This is because Charlotte's consciousness is in the mind ball and Delores's original memories are stealing control.

But this is not the first time that Deloris has experienced this kind of personality conflict.

Because when Westworld was handed over to Delos, Delos carried out a cruel operation to extract input from the consciousness of living people in order to cultivate androids with various personalities as soon as possible.

So this is the second time Delores has experienced being invaded by an alien consciousness.

The last time she won, this time will be no exception.

The struggle in Delores' eyes gradually subsided, and there was a memory in her mind ball that belonged to Charlotte Hale.

Now it is completely possible to say that Deloris is Charlotte Hale, but Charlotte Hale will not be Delores.

Delores, who stood up again, naturally exuded an aura of being in a high position, which was influenced by Charlotte's personality.

Delores, who had received Charlotte's memory, looked thoughtfully at Du Wei and said:

"Dewey, among all the directors of Delos, you asked me to replace Charlotte Hale, you actually want to know the password she has, right?"

Du Wei smiled and did not deny it.

As one of the most important directors of Delos Corporation, Charlotte Hale had the code to hold the mind ball safe.

Now Deloris has the password, too.

Delores, who read everything from Dewey's smile, shook her head helplessly, then walked over to the safe with an ancient mechanical lock and typed in a long list of codes three times.

Click.

With a soft sound, the heavy, mechanically driven cabinet door slowly opened.

Behind the cabinet door are six black mind balls that sit like eggs on egg trays.

This is another treasure in the Forge, a mind orb made of rare wisdom gold!

The most critical secret item of pseudo-immortality!
