Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 197 NO.00c4: Download Data

Day-by-day program, a deep 4-tuned revamp of the Icarus path.

It has only one function, and that is to use the expandable function of Icarus to obtain nearly unlimited adaptability to the installation of prosthetic bodies on other upgrade paths—as long as the consumption of those prosthetic bodies does not exceed the energy supply and computing power of the adjuster. The limit of what the force can carry.

The daily program is not about reinstalling prosthetic bodies, or inserting implants into the brain, but an optimization algorithm based on the existing adjustments and transformations of Depth 3. In other words, as early as the depth 3 stage of the Icarus path, it already has the hardware conditions to start the daily program.

This is true even without the additional depth 4 tuning retrofit aids of the Icarus path.

But if you install the daily program separately, what price do you need to pay?

Hearing Liao Qi's request, Booker fell silent.

As a full-fledged member of the "Fire Thief", he naturally knows the particularity of the Icarus path - during the cyber domain war, more than one company will use the ripened Icarus path adjuster as a one-time annihilation weapon delivery. And some malicious programs from the abyss darknet, if they just want to cause damage in the base reality, will also use the adjuster of the Icarus path to detonate as a "living bomb".

Right now, Liao Qi's mental state is already unstable. If he installs the "Daily Program", it is certain that he will not be able to turn back.

You know, my old friend, the former leader of the Icarus Liberation Front, Kerrett, that rock-solid man, even before the battle of the "Siege of Theseus", he did not install the Sun-by-Sun program on himself. ——Because even if there is still a glimmer of hope of winning, no one is willing to install this thing on themselves.

Without a doubt, this is a one-way ticket to hell.

But when Booker saw Liao Qi's eyes, he couldn't say the words of rejection.

"Before... Mr. Paradox asked me to save your life no matter what."

After hesitating for a long time, Booker, who finally couldn't find a reason to refuse Liao Qi's request anyway, had to move out the "paradox" to try to persuade the other party.

"Mr. Paradox..."

Liao Qi murmured and repeated the name, and for a moment, his expression seemed to want to say something. But after hesitating for a long time, he finally just shook his head.

"This is my selfish decision... In the end, I couldn't really help Mr. Paradox. I am very sorry. But I believe that even if Mr. Paradox knew about it afterwards, he would still support me Today's decision.

"He's a good guy, anyway, I have to thank him for giving me another chance... I'm lucky, at least I have another chance like this."

Liao Qi said so.

Although in Liao Qi's words, there are many sayings that Booker can't understand-about "paradox", he seems to know something better than himself. But Booker could still hear what the other party wanted to express.

He has already decided what to do.

Now that he has decided what to do, what he should do is also very clear - all the consequences arising from this are the price he should pay.

Booker took a deep breath, turned to look at the universal printer that was transformed into a coffin and said:

"After the printing of the biological body for the goddess of the dark moon is completed, I will start installing the 'daily program' for you. I still have some printing permissions for other paths in my hand, and then use the redundant materials for the construction of the power station. You add some..."

But even so, if he fights against the "big man" in Pluto's deep dive; against the Perseus No. 1 sent by the "Fire Thief"; Elite members...

After starting the daily program, what step can Liao Qi's mental and physical collapse gradually achieve?

On a battlefield of this level, how much can a weak depth 4—even the weak depth 4 of the Icarus path—change?

but……

"Every revolt counts."

In a trance, Booker seemed to hear this sentence again—it was Corrett, Black Falcon-136, Liao Qi, and the voices of all Icarus members, including himself.

The voice was solemn and sad, like an aria played by an organ.

Yes, under the absolute disparity in strength, they may still be unable to change anything until the end of the resistance - strength is strength, it is an extremely cold iron law, and it is in this equally cold real world that cannot rely on courage and anger something that can be transcended.

But that never means that those who hold power are right, nor does it mean that those who are weak are inherently wrong.

To rebel, however stupid and trivial it may seem, is to make that point clear to everyone.

Resistance is meaning in itself.

And at this time, the black coffin, which was printed with the descended body of Hecate, the goddess of the moon, finally stopped shaking.

It stood still in mid-air as if the pause button had been pressed, and the lid of the coffin was slowly moved to the sides.

Both Booker and Liao Qi saw a pair of slender and white hands supporting the two sides of the coffin.

"The goddess of the dark moon, Hecate, has come..."

A glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in Booker's heart.

"Goddess of the Moon? But the one I just printed is clearly the deepest..."

Liao Qi on the side wanted to say something, but when he saw the "person" lying in it and slowly sat up, he was stunned for the first time.

…………

As the cracking progress continued to deepen, Ye Qian gradually recalled more things that he had neglected in the past.

In fact, those memories have always been stored in my mind, but I am controlled by preset instructions, and I never actively recall them.

The management of Pluto Deep Dive Company, the adjuster of Theseus path at depth 7, and the director code-named "Minos (Note*)", knew that the "Theseus" stored in the Nord resettlement area long ago Universal printers in the Freight Warehouse. Knowing that there is hidden the key that can make the adjuster of "Ascension Path Theseus" safely break through the limit of human intelligence.

But Minos also knew that the "last wish" buried in it was probably the "last wish" left by the super artificial intelligence "Janus" - if so, it must not be something he can easily get his hands on.

But in the end, he still didn't tell anyone about this information. Instead, he chose to make his own layout, and tried to swallow this legacy that might allow him to become the supreme ruler of human society.

So Minos found himself—as a canary brought down the mine, or a guinea pig for experiments.

He implanted a "puppet circuit" for himself and guided himself on the "Road of Theseus". But after implanting many instructions and blurring many memories, they disconnected and no longer interfered. Allow yourself to touch that legacy as it is, and try to discover the secrets hidden within.

Why am I so obsessed with the Nord resettlement area? Why did you subconsciously arrange for the disciplinary action against the "Icarus Liberation Front" to be carried out in the "Theseus Warehouse"?

These are the things that those directives potentially affect.

including now...

I was arranged to come here again in the form of a digital personality, to try to open the data interface of the universal printer left in the abyss dark net, and open that legacy.

Recalling those memories, Ye Qian now clearly understands that he is being used by "Minos". But his redesigned emotional circuit made him very happy to do so.

He couldn't connect his cognition with the response he should have.

Even though he knew that "Minos" did not dare to maintain any traceable contact with himself because he was afraid of the defense system left by Janus. No matter what I do now—even if I swallow the inheritance alone—I will not be monitored and controlled by the other party.

But he will not do this in the end, but will offer this inheritance with both hands and hand it over to Minos.

It's really sad...

Before entering the final command, Ye Qian thought so.

Immediately, he turned on the universal printer without hesitation.

Then……

Ye Qian looked at the man lying in the dark coffin, and was stunned for a while.

It was as if someone had punched him in the face and knocked him out of his mind.

The guy lying here...isn't it the caveman that he stayed behind and planned to be a "puppet"?

By the way, this person was found in the warehouse of Theseus, with amnesia, not even a brain-computer interface installed on his body, and... the brain has symptoms of radiation sickness.

And he can still lie in this black coffin... Could it be that he is the number one deep diver?

Ye Qian fell into a deep shock.

What did you do before? No... Could it be that the reason why I died in the base reality is...

What I see now is just printed out by that universal printer. And the guy I saw before was either the one that was printed out last time, or... the guy who has been sleeping in it all the time, and it really exists.

But thinking of this, Ye Qian calmed down.

In any case, this is also the body of the number one deep diver—if this kid is really the number one deep diver, Jiang Zhou. And as long as he controls this body, he is eligible to inherit the last wish of "Janus".

There is no change in what I have to do, it is nothing more than reminding "Minos" to kill the previous one-remember to scan the brain carefully before killing, and preserve his digital personality.

Thinking of this, Ye Qian took out the adjustment authority of the "puppet circuit", intending to install it in this body.

He is about to take over control of this body.

…………

"Eh? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

In the broken city of sages, a hammer floating in mid-air said so.

Chen Wang's assigned task was to help "Hecate" complete the printing of the body at the end,

After days of non-stop work on 007, he has created the best body model he can do for the goddess who is in charge of the trails and intersections.

Even so, he still doubts very much that the body modeling he made can really bear the arrival of an existence from the super-abyss layer.

Although the Pygmalion path is a specialization of body modeling, it is still a bit of a fantasy to create a body that can perfectly carry the AI ​​of the "Goddess of the Moon" - even if you have Hecate Help, and the city's computing power as support.

However, according to Chen Wang's estimation, it is possible to help the super-abyss AI build a human body at a depth of 7, or even break through the limit of human intelligence.

However, when he finally presented the finished product to Goddess Mingyue apprehensively, she actually nodded and said yes...

Are you really a genius?

But since there is no problem with modeling, the most important thing now is to print out the body.

After all, only when the printing is successful can one's own contract be considered complete.

But the owner of this city suddenly disappeared here after printing the first body.

And without his guidance, I couldn't start the next stage of work at all.

However……

【Start downloading data now】

With the help of the "City of Sages", Hecate, the goddess of the moon, sent orders to herself.

start? Now?

The city lord has only printed one of his own body, and he does not have the authority to activate the universal printer, so how can he start?

Chen Wang explained the current situation to the other party.

[It is to download my data into the printed body]

Chen Wang was stunned by the other party's answer.

It took him a long time to ask in a daze:

【What about the modeling I made before】

The work of my genius that day.

【Ah, don't worry about it, it was just a reference for me to adjust the shape of that body】

Note: Minos: King of Crete in Greek mythology, son of Zeus and Europa, became one of the three judges of Hades after death. Because of Poseidon's curse, his wife had sex with a white bull and gave birth to a minotaur named Minotaur. In order not to expose this secret, he invited the famous craftsman Daedalus and the craftsman's son Icarus to build a labyrinth. Afterwards, in order not to let anyone else know the origin of the monster and the method of entering and exiting the maze, Minos locked Minotaur, Daedalus and his son Icarus into the maze together.
