Abyssal Wanderer

As a part of the system, there is only one possibility to escape from the reset cycle.

"I guess the awakened individual is most likely affected by external influences."

Regarding the second direction of investigation proposed by him, Jiang Zhou analyzed it this way.

The Eden domain is not an intranet built by a company, but a part of the Abyss Darknet. Since they can access it now, it means that other people or AI can also access or even interfere.

"Without external interference, even if these consciousnesses discover some clues during a certain reincarnation, once the cached records are cleared when the system is reset, they will no longer have any records."

He said so.

But regarding Jiang Zhou's speculation, Perse Fanny raised doubts:

"Is it possible that the system itself has loopholes...for example, every time it is reset, some data will remain, which will continue to accumulate, and eventually quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes?"

Just like when you delete a file, some stubborn residual data will always be left behind. When resetting such a complex scene, it is impossible to achieve perfection. As long as the conscious body in reincarnation is smart enough, sooner or later it will be able to find clues.

"I can't say it's impossible, but the probability is really low."

In this regard, Jiang Zhou first gave a conclusion and then explained:

"The passage of time here is the same as in reality. In other words, even if the cycle of reincarnation is set to three days, the Eden Domain has only reincarnated more than 2,400 times in the past twenty years... just It is simply impossible to accumulate such large vulnerabilities of this order of magnitude.”

There are only more than 2,400 cycles. If you want the uploaded consciousness to detect its own problems and learn to use program loopholes to stably leave records in each reincarnation, at least three to four more iterations are needed. Magnitude.

And, this still has to be done without administrators patching the vulnerabilities.

He added silently in his heart, and then continued:

"From discovering that one is in reincarnation to being able to stably and synchronously inherit the information of 'every life', the number of iterations required is far beyond ordinary people's imagination."

Regarding this issue, Jiang Zhou himself has rich experience. After all, in the "Janus Project", he tested the evolution of his "digital personality" through constant reincarnation resets.

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but recall the existence that he locked in a pure white room in the quantum computer - the digital personality that would climb to the singularity in the future and become "Janus".

Even in a pure white room, after "he" experienced more than 40 million resets, he gradually learned to be like a "guinea pig", training the loopholes he deliberately left and stabilizing them for the next time. Reincarnation leaves a record.

After explaining this, several people cast suspicious glances one after another.

It's an expected reaction...

Jiang Zhou couldn't help but sigh.

It's like this. The words and deeds I show now really don't look like what a low-level "low-tech clan" who has lost his memory should look like - even if he has undergone adjustment and transformation in Depth 1 and been "Heka" "Indeed" as a horse, there is no way to explain all this.

Coupled with what happened in the City of Sages before, these people should also discover something abnormal about themselves.

"There are some things that I will try to explain later... Of course, the premise is that we can all make it back alive this time. There is no point in talking about these now."

He couldn't think of a reasonable explanation for the moment, so he had no choice but to say this.

This dive record will definitely make the company's board of directors doubt him. Jiang Zhou did not have the ability to modify the memories stored in their brains - if he wanted to keep them completely confidential, there would probably be no other effective way except killing them all.

I don’t know if Jim has the ability to guide misunderstandings after being upgraded to Depth 3...

Jiang Zhou thought.

But fortunately, unless the black box of the brain is completely broken, even the top executives of the company's board of directors will not be able to directly read other people's memories - since the current technology for uploading digital personalities still uses the same technology invented by themselves, That means there is no revolutionary breakthrough in technology in this area.

Apart from the Janus program, Jiang Zhou has so far not heard of any technology that can subjectively read brain memories.

In short, on the premise of leaking it to the company directors, let’s find a way to make up a statement that can be justified...

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, but then he comforted himself and said:

Don't feel too much psychological pressure, maybe everyone will be dead by then.

He composed himself and then continued his analysis:

"The existence of the Eden domain itself is very problematic... They did not choose to build the server in a company intranet that can be physically isolated, but built it in the abyss dark network. In doing so, they may intend to sacrifice confidentiality. To save costs, but combined with what Fannie said before about the 'Third Will Project Group', I think this is more like something that is done out of necessity..."

Having said this, Jiang Zhou stared at Fanny and asked:

"What is their purpose of constantly reincarnating into the Eden Domain?"

The latter shook his head and said:

"I don't know... I just know that the 'Pegasus' technology came out from here. I didn't even know that this network domain is constantly repeating the appearance of the Eden Resettlement Area."

Jiang Zhou nodded and then gave his guess:

"I initially thought that repeating the history of the Eden resettlement area was just a large-scale social experiment - whether it was to test the living conditions of residents under different initial conditions; or to verify that after personality uploading, The feasibility of a utopia similar to endless reincarnation.

"But if that's the case, then they shouldn't set up the server in the Abyss Dark Web, at least not just in Depth 3... Because of the existence of the base construction architecture, the passage of time here is synchronized with reality. It's just that As a test, it only takes a few thousand reincarnations in twenty years, and this number is too small."

Speaking of this, the message he had seen in "Doppelgänger" appeared in his mind.

So, he continued:

"But since the manufacturing technology of Pegasus flows out from here, it is more likely that this resettlement area that is constantly reincarnating is actually a huge mine. The form of mining is different from directly defeating malicious programs to obtain technical blueprints. ——Maybe it’s to please a certain AI to get a reward, or maybe there are keys to unlock treasures in the mental models of these consciousnesses. But no matter what, this city is actually no different from the mine where Pluto dives , are all tools designed for mining.”

Thousands of consciousnesses were uploaded, and thousands of unknown beings were allowed to enter the basic reality, just for...mining?

This possibility left everyone speechless for a moment.

After a long time, Qianxia Ying asked:

"If this is the case, the reason why the consciousness that realized that he was in reincarnation awakened..."

Jiang Zhou nodded and said:

"Maybe it's the reason, or the result, of the last time Apollo creatures got the 'Pegasus' technology."

…………

Brilliant!

With just this little bit of information, you can make a pretty good guess.

For a moment, Kurt Orwell even wanted to applaud the guy.

At this moment, he was on an open-air balcony about twelve kilometers away from Kurosawa's house - they were separated by six streets, four main roads, countless high-rise buildings, and three hazy hazes.

But the Argos Path gave him the Hundred-Eyed Giant Observation Array, which allowed him to simply use visible light to see clearly the movements of the other party's lips, and thus interpret what the other party was saying at the moment.

In fact, Jiang Zhou and his group were cautious enough - after returning to the Eden Domain, they immediately checked whether there were surveillance or listening equipment on themselves and in the house, and also turned on the Silent Realm Generating Device, blocking electromagnetic signal.

But even Fanny, who had heard of the "Argos Path", never imagined that the Depth 4 adjusters on this path would be able to see their every move clearly from a window using only optical equipment.

Purse Fanny, that familiar name...is she a spy for the Pluto Submarine Company?

Kurt Orwell's heart moved, and his body slowly became unreal.

The other party seems to have the ability to make his consciousness leave the network. It is not wise to alert the enemy now. In the company's reinforcements, before the big shots on the board of directors know about it, the priority is to pass on the information here.

In addition, there are also consciousnesses in the Eden network that are aware that they are being reset...

This is also an extremely important piece of information, and it may even be, as the guy said, a by-product of the last successful credential stuffing...

With this thought in mind, he began to rise.

However, just when his consciousness broke away from the substitute program and began to move upward, a piece of mist blocked his way back. (End of chapter)
