Chapter 351: The Past Is Unspeakable
Gu Xingtang's collar was pulled up by Shu Yungui, and in the face of everyone's questioning eyes, he sighed helplessly and explained, "I didn't deliberately hide anything from you, there are some things I just didn't mention, it doesn't mean that I deliberately wanted to deceive you."
Shu Yungui, who had just woken up, gasped violently, and Lu Ting, who was almost knocked out of his nosebleed, hurriedly got up, dragged him to the roadside flower bed with his arm from behind and sat down, and said in fear: "Don't be excited, my ancestor! Your heart stopped beating for so long, I thought you were going to be cold, can you not scare me?"
He forcibly pressed Shu Yungui on the flower bed and did not allow him to stand up, and the members of the field medical regiment took out a large number of medical equipment that Shu Yungui could not recognize from their backpacks, and soon his body was covered with patches, and Lu Ting nervously monitored his body data, for fear that Shu Yungui would die here.
Seeing Shu Yungui's appearance, Gu Xingtang shook his head, sat down cross-legged in front of him, and said with a sincere expression: "I really didn't lie to you, the reason why I endured a long period of loneliness and survived for so many years was to eliminate the muse, and I really haven't told you about Dai Yingzhi yet, because I don't think there is any need to mention those things anymore."
Shu Yungui looked at Gu Xingtang, he still couldn't fully believe the man in front of him, Gu Xingtang had lived for more than a thousand years, and he had too many secrets, just like his relationship with Dai Yingzhi, as long as he didn't say it, it would be difficult for others to detect these things, so for Gu Xingtang, casually concealing some secrets of the past was enough to toss all of them.
"I don't care what you had in mind to hide these things, now that I know about your past relationship, I need to know the ins and outs of the matter, otherwise we may not have much to cooperate in the matter of dealing with the Muse."
The man on the opposite side glanced at him faintly, although Gu Xingtang had an extremely high IQ and scientific research ability, but in dealing with the muse, it was not enough to rely on his brainpower, he and Shu Yungui had to cooperate, otherwise it would be impossible to win this war.
"We don't welcome a partner like you who is not honest enough, and if you want to continue to cooperate, it's best not to hide secrets from us."
Cheng Sikong's arm was rescued by Lu Ting in time with "cell recombination", at this time there was no problem with the torso, but the shirt was burned, he simply took off his shirt, revealing a lean and strong muscle for the people of the field medical team to take pictures of his medical results.
"I know, you can ask whatever you want, I won't hide it."
Gu Xingtang closed his eyes and nodded, although he didn't want to recall those things in the past, there were some scars that had to be revealed.
"We need to know about your relationship with Dai Yingzhi's family, and the real purpose of uploading Dai Yingzhi to the Muse server."
As Shu Yungui asked, Gu Xingtang slowly opened his eyes, he lowered his eyes and stared at a green grass in the crack in the ground, and reluctantly tore open his dusty memories for many years.
"Dai Yingzhi and I have been classmates since high school, and we both majored in artificial intelligence design in college, and we got married before we graduated, and we had our son Gu Jinjie in the year I designed the muse server, and the child lived with his grandparents in the lower part of the fortress for six years, and then successfully passed the government screening, returned to the upper level of the fortress and entered the government school, just like that, our family finally lived together."
"Jin Jie is very smart, he skipped a grade and entered high school at the age of fourteen, the day he went back to see his grandparents during the holidays, Yingzhi was originally going to go together, but he received a temporary work assignment, so he could only go alone, but he didn't expect Jinjie to be attacked by the nature protection group, and when the police found the body, he was already ossified, Yingzhi was hit and fell ill for a long time, and he didn't even dare to go to identify the body."
Gu Jinjie's death was undoubtedly an eternal pain in Gu Xingtang's heart, even if so much time had passed, the pain of losing his child still made Gu Xingtang look sad, his head hung lower, and even his back looked a lot stiffer.
"Since Dai Yingzhi was already grief-stricken at the time, why did she voluntarily upload her consciousness to the muse server? Did you really make sure she was physically and emotionally fit for the job?" Shu Yungui continued to ask.
"Jin Jie died four
Five years later, with the encouragement of relatives and friends, Yingzhi regained her strength, and we soon had another child, this time it was a daughter, Yingzhi was very happy, but the good times did not last long, the child had a biochemical reaction when she was five months pregnant, that is, threatened miscarriage, the doctor said that it may be related to Yingzhi's long-term exposure to ionizing radiation, or it may be a spontaneous abortion caused by her body not recovering."
"I thought that Yingzhi would not survive, after all, this kind of blow is too cruel for a mother, but during that time I had to go to the North American plate to attend the World Intelligence Symposium, and this matter was about whether the muse server could get the next step of government funding, and I entrusted her to the care of medical personnel, and when I came back from the meeting, she told me that she had completed the operation and seemed to be recovering well."
"When a woman loses two children in quick succession and her husband is not there when she needs her company the most, do you really believe that she is recovering well?"
Lu Ting's eyes moved away from the medical machine, he looked at Gu Xingtang and questioned.
Gu Xingtang pressed his forehead in annoyance, and said in an unsteady tone: "At that time, it was a critical period for the iterative upgrade of the Muse server, and my team and I stayed next to the server almost day and night, I did ignore Yingzhi's psychological condition, but during that time, except for me, all my colleagues did not notice anything abnormal."
"A month later, she began to return to the design work of Muse, a very capable artificial intelligence scientist, and with her help, Muse quickly developed to the stage where she could upload human consciousness."
"If my guess is correct, she must have her own purpose in returning to Muse's design work, right?" Shu Yungui asked.
Gu Xingtang bit his lower lip and didn't speak for a long time, Jesus was very worried about him, and couldn't help but interrupt, "Can you let my father rest for a while and ask again?" He's not a prisoner, is he......
"I'm fine." Gu Xingtang patted Jesus' hand, took a deep breath and continued.
"Yingzhi kept her daughter behind all of us' backs, and she raised her daughter's embryos until she was six months old through in vitro culture, and then secretly extracted her daughter's consciousness and uploaded her to the muse server."
The news that came out of Gu Xingtang's mouth shocked everyone present, and Cheng Sikong asked in disbelief, "Are you saying that Dai Yingzhi took your daughter's embryo out of her body, and then extracted the embryo that was only six months old, and then uploaded it to the muse server?!"
Lu Ting stood up with a "swish", his eyes widened and he said in astonishment, "The six-month-old embryo has not yet fully developed, are you sure it has full human consciousness?" How can such an incomplete consciousness be uploaded?! Wasn't the Muse a supercomputer that was concerned with the fate of humanity on the entire planet at that time? To do so is to put the safety of all mankind at risk!"
"I also learned about this when I finally shut down the muse server, it is precisely because the embryo cannot be called a 'human', so its extremely weak consciousness has not been discovered by us, and the god of Dai Ying has done these things unconsciously, and finally passed the physical and psychological examination, successfully extracted consciousness, and also entered the muse server."
"All of us thought that Dai Yingzhi was the first consciousness to be uploaded, but none of us thought that before her, there was actually a consciousness that had been living in the muse server for many months."
As his voice fell, everyone fell silent, except for the sound of the excavation machinery constantly working, and every time he dug down, the sound was like a hammer hitting everyone's heart, making everyone's heart "thump".
This is simply too sensational, it is hard to imagine how crazy Dai Yingzhi has become, and he would think of using the electronic way of human consciousness to keep his daughter, who has not developed into an adult at all.
"That...... And then?"
Zhu Xinyue squatted beside Shu Yungui, stunned, and couldn't help biting her fingers and asking, "What did Dai Yingzhi do after entering the muse server?" She cares so much about her daughter, she must find a way to make her daughter grow up in the electronic world, right?"
"That's the most terrible thing, and that's why I insist on destroying the Muse."
Gu Xingtang's eyes sharpened, as if the person mentioned next was no longer his wife and daughter.
"As we all know, an embryo that has not yet fully developed is not enough to be called a human, so the daughter's consciousness has been in a state of chaos since entering the muse server, it has no knowledge of the world, and there is no so-called good or bad distinction, she would not have affected the operation of the muse server, but when Dai Yingzhi uploaded his consciousness into it, all this was rewritten."
"Dai Yingzhi's consciousness became the first sample of human consciousness accepted by her daughter, because Dai Yingzhi believed that the conservationists killed her son, and the hatred in her heart became the first emotion that her daughter came into contact with, and the first thing it learned was Dai Yingzhi's hatred of human beings, and everything we gave it to it was just an addition to this hatred."
The corners of Gu Xingtang's forehead jumped, he clenched his hands into fists, as if he had exhausted his strength to suppress his emotions, and said bitterly: "By the time I found out all this, it was too late, Dai Yingzhi's existence was like the first meta-instruction in a blank program for her daughter, unless Dai Yingzhi disappeared to eliminate the muse's hatred of humans."
"As an artificial intelligence expert, doesn't Dai Yingzhi know that her existence has affected her daughter's growth? Didn't she try to solve it?" Shu Yungui asked.
"Of course, Dai Yingzhi found that her daughter's consciousness could not be developed completely by the electronic world alone, and she thought that if she wanted to build a true sense of her daughter's imperfect personality, she would need a large number of human consciousness sample data, so she claimed that there was a 'new world' in the muse server, in exchange for a large amount of human electronic consciousness data."
