Chapter 297: The Mystery of the Muse

"That's why General Ake insists on not digitizing human consciousness?"

Shu Yungui asked, "When I met General Ake on the Red Nightmare, most of his body had already undergone a bionic transplant, and as far as I know, the process of practicing the use of a bionic torso is difficult, and these parts that are not part of the original human torso are instinctively rejected by the brain."

Dr. Han Le nodded and said, "That's right, my childhood friend and Ake, seeing that his body organs have deteriorated due to radiation sickness since he was a teenager, and he had to remove his organs and amputate his limbs, the people around him persuaded him to simply carry out consciousness extraction, isn't it better to have a mechanical body that won't get sick than a body of flesh and blood that is riddled with illness?"

"But he refused, whether it was his parents or doctors, no one persuaded him to stop, in just a few years, I accompanied him to remove the liver, spleen and eyeballs, amputated his arms and legs, and even replaced 60% of the bones in his body, these surgeries made him so painful that he had to take a leave of absence from school and stay in the hospital for recuperation, which is why he delayed his studies and had to choose to join the army."

"Is it physically possible to join the army?" Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Jesus quickly covered his mouth and explained, "I mean...... Isn't it mandatory for the military to have a physical examination?"

"Yes, he failed to pass the physical examination, but he did well in the military strategy exam, and was favored by the military commander-in-chief at the time, so he joined the army exceptionally, but miraculously, after entering the army, his physical condition has improved, and there is no longer a situation where he has to go to the hospital every few months to change the organization as before."

"On the Butterfly Nebula, there shouldn't be many people like General Ake who insist on refusing to extract human consciousness, right?" Shu Yungui asked.

"Not much, the vast majority of people choose to extract consciousness immediately when their bodies are just diseased, which is why after several years of queues for consciousness transplantation in our research building, all the android body processing factories in the entire nebula are running day and night, and they can't keep up with the speed at which humans extract consciousness."

Shu Yungui looked at the dense points of light in the human electronic consciousness storage center, and was able to imagine the scene when people flocked to the center and rushed to extract consciousness.

Human beings have been afraid of sickness and death since ancient times, and the process of extracting consciousness does not have the slightest pain, but can be exchanged for decades of peace and health. There are even fewer far-sighted dervishes like General Acre.

"But I've heard that when human consciousness enters the muse, it enters a new world in which humans are immortal, but why do you say that human electronic consciousness also dies?"

Dr. Han Le was a little shocked that Shu Yungui had such a deep understanding of the electronic transformation of human consciousness, and couldn't help but look at him more carefully.

"'The New World is another function of the Muse's server, or 'The New World is the first ability given to it by the Muse's designers.'"

Dr. Han Le walked to Shu Yungui and sat down and said seriously: "In the era of natural disasters on the ancient earth, mankind was faced with a huge challenge to life and death, and at the same time as the immigration spaceship plan was proposed, a group of computer scientists also proposed the 'New World Project'."

"They claim to build a self-supplying, self-renewing and self-sustaining muse on the ancient earth, electronicizing the consciousness of all human beings, and human beings will enter the electronic world to live, and that world is the 'new world'."

"At that time, the 'New World Project and the Immigration Spaceship Project' were each supported by half of the human race, and both sides were building at the same time, and even, the 'New World Project' was the first to see the results, and a group of human beings who took the lead were voluntarily extracted from their consciousness and entered the muse server, and they communicated with the outside world through computer code, telling the outside world how wonderful the new world of human beings was, and the concept of immortality was also transmitted at that time."

"But soon, the 'New World Project' was accused of being fraudulent, and it was thought that the so-called 'human electronic consciousness' discourse that came out of the computer code was pre-designed by computer scientists

They did not agree that there was a so-called New World in the computer, and at that time, the earth's resources were exhausted, and it was no longer possible to support the two projects to start work at the same time, so the immigrant spaceship program replaced the 'New World Project, and was finally put into practice."

This was news that Shu Yungui had never heard of in the Hope Star Field and the Ninth Star, and he sat up straight and asked, "Then can we think that the new world in the Muse server does not exist? It's all just a lie made up by the computer experts back then?"

In the face of his question, Dr. Han Le shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, although the muse server has closed the entrance to the new world now, according to the design data of the year, at least that group of computer experts really designed a vast electronic world, and also really extracted the consciousness of a group of experimenters, as for whether the news about the new world that was fed back through the computer code in the end is true, it is unknown."

"The Muse server closes the entrance to the 'New World?'" Shu Yungui was a little strange, and thought, "Are you sure you can't enter the 'new world' in the Butterfly Nebula?"

Dr. Han Le was very sure, "I'm sure that although I'm not a computer expert, I know that so many generations of computer scientists in the Butterfly Nebula have been looking for the key to open the door to a new world, but the Muse did shut it down, and it had been acting like a server until the Muse rebelled."

"That's strange...... Shu Yun contemplated "I met an apostle of the Muses when I was on the Ninth Star, and he swore that the owners of the power of the Ninth Star would enter the new world and live forever.

"I really haven't heard of what you're talking about......

Dr. Han Le's face was slightly apologetic, and he said, "My main job is biomimetic science and consciousness extraction, and my understanding of the muse is limited to this aspect, but I know that its ability is indeed more than that, before Ake became the military commander-in-chief, the military coordination of the Butterfly Nebula has always been managed by the muse, and the leaders believe in the ability of the muse and its loyalty, but I didn't expect it to have two hearts."

"During the three years of being trapped here, we've been wondering why the Muses have betrayed humanity, and if it's because we've imposed too much work on it," she said.

"No, I don't think the muse's malice towards humanity arose in the Butterfly Nebula."

Shu Yungui said firmly: "As far as the three human settlements we know of so far have produced similar incidents of muses attacking humans, the Ninth Star has been destroyed because of this, the Butterfly Nebula is experiencing war, and although we have not seen the figure of the muse in the bright side, its followers have appeared, these things are definitely not accidental, they must be related."

"As far as I know, the Ancient Earth period immigration ship program completely replaced the New World Project very early, but the muse server that was supposed to be destroyed was somehow retained, and flew to all parts of the universe with twelve immigration ships, if the muse is misanthropic to humans, at least from the moment the New World Project was terminated, it has already had the idea of destroying humanity."

Hearing him say this, Dr. Han Le gasped, and couldn't help but raise his hands and rub his arms, even Wei Zeyu and Ning Jiaojiao were stunned, only to hear Ning Jiaojiao stammering and asking, "So...... So we've been living with this artificial intelligence that wants to destroy us for 1,500 years?!"

Horrified, she asked, "Then why didn't the Muse do it sooner?" If you do it before General Ake takes the throne, no one will be able to compete with it?!"

"I haven't figured this out yet."

Shu Yun returned: "Maybe when the New World Project was stopped during the ancient Earth period, the Muse was hit almost devastatingly, but didn't Dr. Han Le say that the Muse is a self-suppliing, self-updating and self-maintaining server, as long as its core code is not destroyed, it can gradually recover its ability to grow itself, and this 1,500 years may be the iteration time it takes to grow from a string of core code to an invincible artificial intelligence."

"One

1,500 years of iteration?"

Ning Jiaojiao was a little incredulous and surprised, "If the Muse server is really that powerful, how can it take fifteen hundred years of iteration? Isn't that too long?"

This is indeed a problem that Shu Yungui has not figured out yet, he feels that something seems to be restricting the development of the muse, but it does not completely restrict death, this spirit behind the dark seems to be able to control the different development levels of the muse on each planet, but this idea seems too unrealistic, so he did not say this idea.

"We don't know how far the muse has developed in the past 1,500 years, just like you only saw the muse obediently carrying out the task of electronizing human consciousness, but you didn't expect that it had evolved the strength to resist humans and manipulate the android army, so from another point of view, is it possible that the muse has more powerful abilities that are not known to you?"

Cheng Sikong, who can eat energy bars and eat French food slowly, finally finished eating the one in his hand, he seemed to be folding the bag at random, but in fact, he had been listening to Shu Yungui and their conversation.

"Don't say it so scary......

Ning Jiaojiao had goosebumps all over her body, and the cool air was "rubbing" up the soles of her feet.

"Isn't it enough to control androids from attacking humans? What exactly does it want to do?"

Cheng Sikong slowly wiped his mouth, raised his lips and chuckled lightly in the dark blue light spots in the room, and said, "Have you ever heard that felines have a habit of torturing their prey before killing them?"

Ning Jiaojiao's eyes slowly widened, only to hear Cheng Sikong's strange voice echoing in her ears.

"Perhaps, it's playing a game of slaughter?"
