Chapter 257: Renunciation of Personality
In Hayato Miyata's narration, Su Mo finally learned the whole story of Daystar Eden.
At this moment, Su Mo fell into an indescribable shock, and he finally understood why Qi Ling had such a big contrast, she was a lively and sweet girl one day before, and the next day she became a mad dog that bites people when she sees them.
Because this is a person who has given up his own personality.
It's not a mental illness like schizophrenia, multiple personality, etc.
Rather, it is subjective, abandoning one's personality with an almost cold intellect.
All the habits in Qi Ling's life have nothing to do with "Zero", but are playing the role of his childhood friend "Xiaoqi".
likes to wear beautiful clothes, become a cover model, and raise a black Labrador named Pippi, including the tone of speech, the way of laughing, and even some nuanced little habits. is all restoring the person "Xiaoqi".
This world is technologically advanced, but it is impossible for people to come back to life after death, and death is death.
But by giving up his own personality, Qi Ling made all his words and deeds consistent with Xiao Qi, and used this extremely distorted way to make Xiao Qi "live" again in another sense.
Qi Ling is using his own life to rewrite the life of his childhood partner.
And now, all of Xiaoqi's wishes, including "falling in love with an excellent and reliable boy", have come true.
Play ends.
The lively and sweet "Xiaoqi" no longer exists.
The monster called "Zero" is back.
After a long silence, Su Mo came back to his senses and looked at Hayato Miyata coldly: "So the current Garden of Eden is still like this?" Countless receptors locked up in the underground testing area, tormented every day in your brain program? β
Miyayato shook his head and said sadly: "The world government has strengthened its control over the Garden of Eden in various places a few years ago, and the underground experimental area has been filled in by me. β
"What you see on the surface of the Garden of Eden now, that's what it is."
Su Mo asked, "What about the Smart Brain Project?" β
Miyayato asked rhetorically, "What do you say?" Failure, of course, otherwise you would be seeing a whole new world now. β
Su Mo said indifferently: "I thought that the back of the Daystar Garden of Eden must be very dirty, but you brutes don't do anything with people at all." β
Miyayato had a gloomy face: "For the development of all mankind, this sacrifice is worth it, I have a clear conscience. β
Su Mo kicked him violently, kicking his front teeth off.
"What annoys me the most is that you are a scum, opening your mouth and closing your mouth to all mankind, in the name of a high one, to cover up your evil deeds."
"Are you for all mankind? your horses, you're just trying to make a name for yourself. β
"If it is really for the sake of all mankind, you should cultivate an unavoidable individual like Zero, let her receive a good education, use that brain beyond ordinary people to absorb knowledge, and finally become a great researcher and contribute to human science."
"What about you? Let Zero be tortured since she was a child, and extinguish her only spiritual sustenance. A person who obviously doesn't feel pain is psychologically distorted by you. Is this embarrassing to say that it is for all mankind? β
Hayato Miyata covered his bleeding mouth and said in a low voice, "You are a person who wants one thing too much. β
"Scientific research is not a one-person business."
"If, as you said, we train Zero to be an excellent independent individual, she may grow up to achieve very good results and complete technological breakthroughs in some fields."
"But there is a limit to the power of one person. If we want to make the level of science and technology move forward in an all-round way, it does not depend on one person, but on the joint efforts of the entire human race. β
"So, Zero has to make a sacrifice! Sacrifice her life to contribute to the Brain Project to improve the intelligence of the entire human population! β
"Once the Brain Project is successful, then humanity will be able to create countless beings with intelligence comparable to Zero. Imagine what kind of scenario that is? Humanity will be truly mortal as a god! β
Su Mo sneered: "Having said so much, your plan still failed. β
Hayato Miyata seemed to be poked in the pain point, and the whole person shouted: "It's not our fault that we failed!" It's all because of that little brute! β
"The Smart Brain Project has made key progress at that time, and as long as we continue to experiment with zero as the receptor, I am confident that a complete brain data model should be available within a few years."
But at the most critical moment, she ran away. Ran away!! β
"The dead little brute dug a tunnel for Zero, and she escaped from it one day, never to be seen again."
"Without the receptor Zero, the data obtained by Luo Mingsheng's super-experiments lost their meaning, and the entire superbrain project came to a standstill, and finally ended in a complete failure."
"It's not our fault! We didn't fail! It's all to blame on that little beast digging tunnels! It's all to blame on that little brute!! β
"Hum-" Suddenly, the speakers on the table rang.
The shrill hum caused the two of them to gasp, and the conversation was interrupted.
"Uh-huh." The familiar sweet laughter reached Su Mo's ears again.
"I've burned down the villa, and you can still find it here, you're too annoying."
The computer screen lights up when no one is controlling it, and in the picture, Qi Ling is lazily leaning back in an ergonomic chair, her slender legs crossed on the table, no socks, and her delicate bare feet swaying slightly in front of the camera.
Qi Ling poked his head out and tilted his little head: "Hey, silently, why are you all mushy?" Brought a jammer? β
Su Mo pondered for a moment and said, "I have a question, should I call you Qi Zero or Zero now?" β
Qi Ling held his cheeks in his small hand and said calmly: "Eh, it turns out that you have talked about so many things, so I assume that you already know everything." β
Su Mo: "Pretty much. β
Qi Ling retracted his legs, moved the chair forward, leaned on the table and looked at the camera with a smile, his amber eyes were full of expectation: "How about it, do you want to consider helping me kill people together, my little boyfriend~"
Su Mo: "Logically speaking, I sympathize with you and support your revenge on those bastards back then. In the past, I was even happy to help. β
"But if you take revenge, you will take revenge, this is your business and their business, and you shouldn't come to implicate and hurt the people around me."
"You blew up the marginal laboratory in order to kill Luo Mingsheng, reimbursed all the experimental data, and made the future cry."
"I'm sorry, I just want to take you out and give you a hard slap right now."
Qi Ling: "Oh, that's right. β
The smile on her lips slowly collapsed, becoming expressionless, and her amber eyes were gloomy and oppressive, as if they were unfocused.
"Then you both go and die."
"Buzz-buzz-" Without warning, a shrill siren sounded.
It's not just this office.
It's not just Daystar Eden.
Sirens spread like a wave throughout the An'an New District, and every public address sounded sharply.
Hayato Miyata looked out the window with a blank gaze and said in a trembling voice, "This is. Air defense alert? β
γAnjing New Area Tunnel Checkpointγ
Under the cover of night, the patrol soldiers of the tunnel in the Anjing New District were on guard duty as always.
The lights of the watchtower cut through the darkness and strafed back and forth along a fixed path, illuminating the area as bright as day, and the eyes of the soldiers scanned with it, guarding against any danger that might arise.
In the last incident of the fall of the Rusty Wall, many border rioters broke through the defense line of the new area, causing serious injuries to the residents living in it, causing the rich to be furious.
The previous group of garrison personnel has been all removed, replaced by a group of fresh blood, they are more focused, and stronger, everyone is the elite of the active army, firmly controlling the safety of the tunnel.
Just as everyone was patrolling as usual, a soldier looked at the distant sky and asked, "What is the drone show today?" β
The chief looked up and saw that the distant night sky was full of mottled points of light, and the cold white light flickered in the darkness, neatly and orderly, forming an endless sea of light.
Those dense points of light are obviously flying drones, and the scale of the formation is extremely large, as if there is no end, and when they fly, they are like meteors crossing the sky.
It was still early in the morning, and many people in Crescent City were walking in the streets, and they were all startled by the sudden vision in the night sky, and they all stopped and looked up.
Someone opened their mouths in surprise and stared at the incredible sight.
There are also people who open their eyes wide, take out their mobile phones and start shooting, staring at the sky in disbelief as they shoot.
Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, drones have been popularized in both civilian and military fields, and there are often drone performances in Crescent City.
But this is the first time you have seen a drone of this scale.
The drones flew very low, the low humming of their wings intertwined on a massive scale, and an eerie sense of oppression fell from the sky, as if the world was about to descend into chaos, making people's hearts flutter.
Gradually, some pedestrians had a bad premonition and began to run to nearby buildings to find shelter, looking nervously talking to each other.
"What's going on, where did so many drones come from?"
"I don't know, I haven't heard of any performances today."
"If this falls out of control, then it's okay"
At the tunnel checkpoint in the An'an New District, the soldier felt that something was wrong: "Sir, the drone seems to be coming towards us!" β
The commander in charge of patrolling here is a very senior prosthetic implanter, originally belonging to the elite of the fourth anti-riot section, and the pair of "military level 2" mechanical prosthetic eyes are at full power, and they are zooming at high speed to scan the details of the drone swarm.
When the prosthetic eye recognized the models of those drones and the full moon symbol on the fuselage, the commander was directly stunned: "These are not civilian drones, they are all military models of the Public Security Bureau." β
At this time, a soldier ran over and reported in a loud voice: "Sir, the No. 1 special frequency band, the General Bureau of Public Security of the Municipal Center is calling urgently." β
The chief immediately adjusted the communicator to the corresponding frequency band and responded: "Tunnel checkpoint in Anjing New District." β
An anxious shout came from the other end: "Checkpoint! Turn on your air defenses now! Repeat! Turn on your air defenses now! β
"The electronic terminal of the General Security Bureau was invaded by an unknown virus, the firewall was completely paralyzed, and the military drone swarm was out of control on a large scale, and they went to the Anjing New Area! Hurry up and shoot them down! Don't let them hurt the residents of the new district! β
The commander looked at the overwhelming swarm of drones, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and yelled at the soldiers: "Turn on all air defense systems and shoot down those drones!" Fast! β
At the top of the tunnel rockery, dozens of silos were urgently opened, all kinds of anti-aircraft weapons were deployed in the transformation, and the cold muzzles were aimed at the sky.
"BoomβBoomβ"
"Dada-da-"
The electronic radar system accurately calculates the trajectory of the drone, and one interceptor missile after another rushes out of the silo, the smoke of gunpowder spreads wantonly, and the fire is like a meteor rising against the trend.
The anti-aircraft guns fired together, the barrels rotated at super high speed, and the scorching bullets formed countless steel whips, forming a dense fire net, surging towards the drone swarm.
"Boom! Rumble! Boom!."
Accompanied by a huge explosion, the night sky was filled with fire and smoke, and the flames of the interceptor missile hitting the drone bloomed, and the shock wave from the explosion spread like a wave.
The dense tongues of bullets of the anti-aircraft guns raged between the planes, and the fragile bodies disintegrated in the bombardment, and with the explosions one after another, they were torn into a sky of burning wreckage.
Above the night sky, countless drones exploded and disintegrated, each explosion was accompanied by a deafening whistling sound, and the fragments were scattered in all directions, leaving a bright trajectory in the air, constituting a tragic scene.
However, these anti-aircraft weapons did not change the situation.
They were not originally intended for large-scale warfare, but were used in peacetime to intercept aircraft that tried to illegally cross the airspace of the new area.
After all, no one would have thought that so many military drones would go out of control at the same time, and the airspace of Crescent City, one of the "five giant capitals" of the human world, would completely fall.
These air defense weapons in the Anjing New Area are okay to fight a public security war, but when encountering a drone swarm of this scale, at most they will intercept the front batch, and the back will not be able to stop them at all.
As far as the eye can see, the wreckage of the drone burned and fell, like a shower of stars, but more groups of aircraft passed through the shower, flying over the tunnel and reaching the depths of the An'an New Area.
And those patrol soldiers on land can only stare dryly at this time.
If it is a ground war, whether the enemy is hundreds or thousands, they can rely on fortifications to intercept it, and it is a big deal to engage in face-to-face grinding battles.
But the drones flew in the air, ignoring them at all, and the ammunition for air defense weapons was running out one after another, and they had nothing to do about it.
Now, the airspace gateway of the entire Anjing New Area is wide open, and the enemy can enter as he wants, and there is no defense to speak of.
The chief shouted into the communicator in a frenzy: "There are too many! You can't stop it even if you run out of ammunition! Where are the Aerospace Assault Forces? Get them all here! β
On the other end of the communicator, the operator's trembling voice came: "No. No air and space assault force will come, our terminal has been breached, all electronic equipment has been paralyzed, and none of the fighters and floating boats can take off."
The chief only felt his heart sink to the freezing point, and looked up at the night sky full of drones.
They are like ghosts in the dark, and the lights are like countless pairs of cold eyes flickering, watching those who are dying in the new area.
The soldier came up behind the commander and asked distractedly, "We. . . What's next? β
The chief wiped the sweat from his face and said in a deep voice: "Sound the air raid siren throughout the An'an New District, and let all residents immediately take emergency shelter and find a place to hide." β
"Other than that. We can only pray."
