"Unbelievable." The tank brain has long guessed about the structure of the crystallization of cutting-edge technology before the war, but he didn't expect the truth to be so crazy.

"It's almost impossible to connect the human brain to a top-level supercomputer like ZAx, and you actually say that your left and right brains are connected to a ZAx? ..... How is this possible? There's simply no way your brain can withstand the stress of two supercomputers. Diana seemed to understand the confusion.

"What do you think.... That's what I thought about at the beginning, but don't underestimate Derek Greenway's last pre-war experiment project on supercomputers, which exhausted almost all of his energy as the founder of the SA supercomputer.... Even when he was working at Poseidon Energy, he worked with Vault Tech to develop ZAx. The two ZAx I connected to were specifically programmed to prevent excessive stress on my brain or mental problems such as splitting nerves. At the same time, as one of the most cutting-edge scientists at SA at the time, I was more accurate than the scientist named Tina Stone, whose brain also had information processing capabilities beyond ordinary people, and despite all the preparations, the success of this experiment can still be said to be lucky. She stared at the tank, and a moment later mentioned some more information.

"It looks like you've just completed a codE maintenance not long ago." Tank Brain nodded.

"Isn't that a matter of course.... Surely you know better than I do about the mental problems that have increased over the years since brain surgery, and if it weren't for codE technology to help us reprogram and override, then I'm sure any existence like us would have gone crazy... Not to mention our organic brains, even those ZAx electronic brains will suffer if they run for too long.... Mentally ill. Diana's eyes sank.

"In fact, I've never done codE maintenance." Tank Brain disbelieves this.

"No way, what nonsense are you talking about, if what you say is true then you must be a madman by now." Diana smiled inexplicably.

"How do you know I'm not crazy?" This sentence made the tank brain stunned for a moment, and then began to become suspicious.

"Of course you.... At least it doesn't look like that, and now you're not going to take revenge, are you... Wait, I actually have a set of mental state test questions designed by the big dome that my colleague made up the guy who specializes in this thing, and he also helped design the goatee test questions for Vault Tec to use for internal testing, so why don't you do that? Let's play a little game—" Diana didn't answer him, just chuckled.

"No, with my computing power, it is more than enough to monitor my mental state in real time.... It's not like I've been in a slump, but I have my own way of coping with it. As for codE technology, it's a pity that the simple means of maintenance are not for a brain-controlled robot like you.... No, sorry, maybe that's not satisfying to you, but in general, technically I can't overwrite myself using codE directly, and if I did, it would break me down shortly after. "I didn't expect this to be true.

"Oh my God, is it because your brain is connected to two ZAx? codE overrides can destabilize this connection, and instead prompt your problems to explode... But holding you up like this is tantamount to being tortured all the time... You're right, it's a crazy experiment, how the hell did you endure it? You don't know that this is the possible outcome, and why did you agree to have a brain removal surgery in the first place? You won't be forced, will you? Diana held out her left hand, and a picture appeared in the air, which appeared to be a case list.

"I could say that I was forced to agree to this experiment, but the oppression I suffered came from myself, my own body to be exact... As you can see, at the time, Dr. Tina Stone had cancer, a type of breast cancer, and it was found at an advanced stage. ”

"It's no one's fault, Tina Stone worked at Los Alamos for a while, probably because of some negligence during the long work and the inevitable radiation exposure during the experiment, or maybe it was more related to her family's genetic inheritance.... All in all, she found out too late, and Tina Stone's body had already entered the countdown when she wasn't ready, and she had a nervous breakdown, unwilling to believe that she was about to die. The string sighed slightly with some empathy.

Although this is meaningless for Diana, who now expresses the past in the third person.

Derek Greenway had already been contracted by the SA Environmental Protection Agency to build the nursery and Vault 29, so he had an extremely large budget. This allowed him to implement his craziest and greatest idea, which was to have the supercomputer AI he developed unhindered to connect with the human brain in pursuit of something he loved greatness. Whatever his purpose, he found Tina Stone, who was suffering from his terminal illness at the time, and offered her a chance to get rid of her body and gain eternal life and what she called.... An opportunity to transcend mortals and approach the realm of the gods. ”

"And so, Diana was born." String was fascinated by what she said, and she suddenly thought about it when she learned that this kind of technology was possible.

"What kind of changes have you felt since then? Is it really as if he has become a god? Unexpectedly, Diana told her a different scene.

"Nope." Diana dismissed this fantasy.

"Man cannot become a god, even if he forcibly connects directly with the wisdom beyond the limits of human beings, and obtains the ability to surpass ordinary people, it is impossible for man to become a god, because man, as one of the countless creatures that has gradually evolved over millions of years, is born with limitations that cannot be broken, as a small individual in this kind of group, how can I pretend to be extraordinary?" But thinking of her claim in the Double Mother Tribe, Diana couldn't help but feel a little low.

"That being said, this is just a communication between us, for those who have returned to the primitive, they can't understand what kind of existence I really am, and I can't tell them the truth.... In order to give them spiritual hope and to guide them better, I did call myself a god in front of a few people, and I did indulge in this role-playing for a long time, but I did not understand what I was. Her eyesless eyes looked at the strings.

"You ask me how I feel after that, don't you? I can tell you that in the first few months, I felt basically nothing more than you could have imagined. My mental feelings are often erratic, and sometimes I feel that I have become inhuman, and the two ZAx are like two mountains to me, and I am just a small existence carrying them on my back. This made me feel like an extension of a machine at times, and it wasn't until much later that I accepted a new position for me, which was that I was no longer a pure human being, but a new being made up of a combination of human brains and machines. ”

"The ZAx allow me to continue to feel the light, sound and temperature of the outside world through a myriad of sensors, but these senses are really not comparable to human beings, I can hear ultrasound and infrasound, I can see infrared and ultraviolet rays, I can smell everything in the air... The world seemed strange to me, fake like a cartoon, noisy like a processing plant, and stench like a big dung pit. ”

"I have lost my body, but I often have phantom limb sensations, I can no longer feel the weight or the feeling of the wind blowing through me, they are gone from me forever, and I seem to have a certain degree of immortality.... I was given the task of maintaining and managing the nursery, the necessity of such a task .... It doesn't matter if it's a means of Derek or my own consciousness these days, but I see the nursery as my home and hope it has a chance to save the world in the future. ”

"I struggled to adapt and became obsessed with work for several years, because I found that the only way to stop my intellect from continuing to be torn apart was to circumvent the superfluous information through my own unconscious concentration, and once my attention was focused on one thing, I would temporarily close all the mental channels around me to help me gain temporary silence.... That's why I was able to keep my mind from losing my mind for a long time. ”

"But it won't last." Diana looked at Harold.

"Concentration was just a matter of quenching my thirst, and soon I realized that indulging in calculations would make my mental problems worse for the rest of my life, and I had to find new ways to maintain my sanity, so I started communicating with other people.... Yes, I would like to say that my care for those children is not without selfishness, and for a long time, it is not only their support, but they are also my support. ”

"But still... As time went on, I found that I had to play and maintain the image of the goddess that I had been creating for a long time for the sustainable development of the children's tribe, which affected my communication with the children, and I had to single out only a small number of members as the chosen ones for short-term communication, which was not enough for my growing mental needs. Andy crossed his arms, and suddenly seemed to understand what Diana was going to say next.

"You need someone to keep you company, and not the people of the Mother Tribe who see you as a god, but someone who is closer to you.... So, that's what you allowed Akisha and Harold to come into the nursery for? Diana nodded.

"Yes, it's not just her, there were many people who came to the nursery for various reasons before her, and I would help them guide them as appropriate, and then we would spend a short time together... Harold was the only one who didn't come to the nursery by accident and was led in by me, but was told where and how to enter before then. Harold shrugged.

"Actually, I was very sick at the time."
