Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 106 NO.0069: Sealing up the Legacy

"You're using me."

Aconitum-23 said in a cold tone.

The third deep dive compartment is only applicable to the surface light belt, that is, deep dive salvage units from depth 1 to depth 3.

Therefore, generally speaking, the abyss wanderers who can dive and salvage here will only be depth 1-3 adjusters.

Only for a special task like today, the company would approve an adjuster with a depth of 4 to accompany those mice to dive together.

However, the gatekeeper here is an existence that even he finds it very difficult to deal with.

In other words, this guy named Ye Qian...

"I'm almost sure that some of the clues I need are in this warehouse, but I can't find a reason to arrange a strong enough combat force to break through the blockade of that guard... Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Ye Qian bowed politely and thanked.

But these words sounded to Aconitum-23, no matter how they sounded, they seemed to be mocking themselves.

Whether it is himself or his master, as well as the Icarus mice who dived together this time, all of them have been put together by this guy at the moment—he used this opportunity to let himself clear the way for him to enter this place. barriers between warehouses.

Feeling some anger rising, Aconitum-23 opened the air intake of the vector injector and took a "deep breath" to calm himself down a little.

Immediately, he said solemnly in the tone of a field interrogator:

"You'd better make it clear first, it's about breaking through the intellectual limit of the deep dive 7 people."

The limit of human intelligence...

As the depth of adjustment and transformation increases, no matter how determined a person is, their mental index will inevitably decline-after the body structure is completely changed, it is natural for the consciousness to change accordingly. This is an engineering problem, independent of human will.

However, for the current—and the foreseeable future—human society that still has native humans as the main body of the group. Adjusting people must maintain the framework of human consciousness and act with logic that the public can understand, in order to ensure that the concept of the entire "human being" can survive.

After all, runaway evolution is also a form of extinction.

Therefore, the adjustment and transformation must be controlled to the extent that it will not cause species extinction to humans, which has become a general consensus after the big shock—at the same time, this is also one of the core concepts of the establishment of the Olympus order.

At least that's what they advertise themselves.

But in any case, according to calculations, adjusting to depth 7 is an absolute hurdle. No matter which upgrade path it is, in theory, after crossing the depth of 7, it will no longer be able to maintain the consciousness of being a human being, but become a kind of existence that human beings cannot understand.

Therefore, depth 7 is called the limit of human intelligence.

Theoretically speaking, there should be no adjusters who break through the depth 7 and still retain self-awareness. However, the reality is not like this - those legendary adjusters who became household names because of the cyber domain wars, in them, all show the same humanity as ordinary people, and they all have the same emotions as normal people .

This is completely unreasonable. How they did this has always been the biggest secret on the path of promotion.

"The secrets that the Path of Theseus can break through to depth 7, or the clues leading to those secrets, are hidden in this database."

Ye Qian said so.

"continue."

Aconitum-23 calmly urged him to continue.

Ye Qian continued:

"I discovered this database by chance during a deep-diving salvage operation five years ago. I didn't think much about it at first, but I just thought I was lucky to find a database that reflected the real area in the base reality. database……"

This probability is roughly equivalent to winning the twelve-bet lottery in a row.

Ye Qian, as the person in charge of the deep diving warehouse, violated the operating specifications of the deep diving warehouse by accident, and kept the domain name of this database privately. And in the subsequent deep dive salvage, frequently let the abyss roamers under him dive into this database to explore.

This is an extremely dangerous thing. There is a corresponding reason why the abyss roamer needs to "roam" - long-term visits to the same domain name will strengthen the relationship between the two sides, which will make it easier for malicious programs that exist in it to float up and invade .

"At this point, the company's rules and regulations you have violated are enough to beat you to the end."

Hearing this, Aconitum-23 said in a cold tone.

Regarding this, Ye Qian nodded and readily admitted, and then continued:

"So, all these years, I'm really lucky that you didn't discover my little tricks. But also through this, I salvaged quite a lot of information about the Road of Theseus in this resettlement area... you know , because it was blacklisted by the Anthroposophical Ethics Monitoring Committee, the information about the promotion path Theseus will always be incomplete."

It is not without reason that this upgrade path is called the dead end path.

"But it's not here... If you want to ask me what I have salvaged in the past, it goes without saying the list and printing permissions required for the adjustment and transformation of the Road of Theseus at different depths. The biggest gain so far is a historical record—— The three universal printers deployed by the coalition government for the construction and maintenance of the Nord resettlement area are all the first batch of prototypes created by super artificial intelligence Janus."

Hearing this, Aconitum-23's "expression" was finally a little moved—the infrared camera light on his face gradually lit up like a breathing light.

"So what? There's never been evidence that universal printers of the same model make any difference."

However, although the "eyes" lit up, the voice of Aconitum-23 was still cold.

Even when Janus was manufacturing the universal printer, he divided it into different batches. But for human cognition, there has never been any evidence to prove that the printer itself will be different between different batches-maybe, but for humans, it is just to enter the printing authority, provide materials, and then manufacture The corresponding things are just... the same.

After all, humans only use it that way.

Therefore, even if the three universal printers were the first prototypes created by Janus, they have no special significance other than being used as souvenirs.

Besides, what does what he said have anything to do with The Road of Theseus?

Probably guessing the doubts of Aconitum-23, Ye Qian smiled slightly and said:

"If you have some understanding of the history of the Great Impact, then you must know what the purpose of the super artificial intelligence Janus created the universal printer."

Forcing Human Evolution...

Aconitum-23 thought to himself, but he didn't say it, but urged directly:

"Don't keep being a joke, so what?"

Regarding this, Ye Qian nodded and said:

"Since Janus made the universal printer back then, it was to force humans to complete the evolution of his design. Then you guessed it, when he made the first batch of universal printers, he was stuffed into the first subject for experiments Who could it be?"

"The first deep diver..."

Aconitum-23, who instantly understood the meaning of the other party, murmured.

The upgrade path, Theseus, is said to have been specially designed for the first deep diver back then.

"In other words, inside the three universal printers..."

Wutou-23, who understood what the other party meant, suddenly looked down at Ye Qian.

The latter nodded and helped him finish the rest:

"In these three universal printers, the legacy of the first deep diver is sealed..."

…………

Booker looked at the array of drones that suddenly left for some reason, a little puzzled.

"Why did they suddenly..."

On the other hand, Jiang Zhou knew exactly what happened—he had set up a guiding beacon on the other side, so all the guys were attracted to him.

However, at this moment, he didn't have much mood to think about it.

"I don't know, maybe there is an enemy that is more troublesome to them on the other side."

He said vaguely and perfunctorily.

Now, he finally knows why Ye Qian is so keen on controlling the underground of the Nord resettlement area.

It wasn't any bullshit corporate interests at all, he just wanted to secretly collect the three universal printers without the knowledge of others, and then figure out the secret of the way of Theseus.

For this reason, whether it was to forcibly shut down the water purification plant to force Icarus to turn his face, so that the punishment forces would have a reason to intervene; It's all this.

Including now that Perth Fanny has taken over the business of the Nord resettlement area, he is working hard behind the scenes, which is also the reason.

Those three universal printers sealed the secret of the "First Deep Diver".

But what kind of secret will it be...

Jiang Zhou couldn't help thinking.

Recalling that I came to this era after traveling for a hundred years, the first place where I recorded my appearance was the warehouse of Theseus. Jiang Zhou speculated that maybe the universal printer sealed himself, which is one of the secrets of the path of Theseus?

If this is the case, what legacy will be sealed in the other two universal printers?
