Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 43 NO.002b: True View

"Those who have been implanted into the puppet circuit will not realize that their emotions are being controlled by others?"

After leaving the interrogation room, Jiang Zhou and Booker walked side by side in the corridor.

Even after knowing the function of the "puppet circuit", Booker was still full of confusion.

"According to the instructions, this thing can only roughly affect emotions, right? It can't fabricate thoughts, or implant a memory into someone else's mind. But Shi Luren said; and in fact it is; once implanted into the puppet circuit As the sub-machine, those people have completely become marionettes in his hands, and they don’t know it at all. But it’s just a simple affect on emotions, how can they..."

"Just affecting the mood is enough."

Jiang Zhou replied.

After speaking, he sighed slightly in his heart.

As a top scholar in cognitive science a hundred years ago, Jiang Zhou spent the first half of his life trying to construct a mental model of human beings and digitize it completely in order to realize the immortality of self-awareness.

In the end, he also achieved a result that cannot be completely said to be a failure.

Therefore, he can be considered to have some say in the issue of self-awareness.

Even in this era a hundred years later.

"When you're on a date, just order a cup of warm tea for the girl opposite, and when she picks it up and feels the temperature, she will have a 'warm' impression of you."

Jiang Zhou said so.

Booker turned his head to look at Jiang Zhou, his eyes were full of doubts, and he didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned this.

"Most of the time, human self-awareness is to explain one's behavior, not to control. After cutting off the corpus callosum that connects the left and right brains of a person, if the left brain sees chicken feet, the right brain sees chicken feet. Snow scene. Then ask him to choose from a series of pictures, related to the picture he just saw. His right hand will choose the chicken, and his left hand will choose the shovel shoveling snow.

"If you ask him why he chooses this way, he will answer that the shovel can be used to clean the chicken coop-this is because the language center is on the left hemisphere, and the left hemisphere does not see the snow scene. So, the left hemisphere will be on the basis of his cognition I can invent logical explanations on my brain. Even if I don’t know what the right brain is doing, I can invent reasons that convince me.”

Jiang Zhou continued to explain.

"We are wired to rationalize our behavior, and behavior, most of the time, is actually determined by those neurotransmitters, by those hormones.

"Of course, you can also call them emotions."

Finally, he sums it up like this.

What he said was actually sorting out his thoughts for himself, and when he said this, Jiang Zhou already had a feeling of fear in his heart about the thing called "puppet circuit".

Although looking at the introduction, its ability is extremely attractive-the ability to control the emotions of oneself and others at will. But from his professional point of view, this thing is a hundred times more terrifying than poison.

Although the puppet circuit cannot be adjusted very precisely, in the final analysis, it is only a 2-level deep modification authority.

If you dig deeper into the abyss and darknet, there is a high probability that there will be modification permissions that can be operated more precisely.

But designing one's own reward circuit at will, editing one's own emotional feedback at will, is enough to make everything in the real world lose its original meaning.

If used properly, this thing can transform all the sufferings in reality into real joy for me.

It allows everyone, even curled up in a nutshell, to think of himself as the king of the infinite universe.

It can make the common people truly fall in love with those brutal rulers, and make them willingly climb onto the ruler's dinner plate in reverence. Even if they are eaten alive, they will feel that they are the happiest people in the world.

And, they will be very, very clear about what they are doing.

That would be the most beautiful and at the same time the most desperate ultimate utopia.

The real world; whether it was a hundred years ago or now; is a world full of suffering, and Jiang Zhou himself does not intend to praise those sufferings.

But if he had to choose between sobriety and happiness, he would always be sober.

No reason, the value of sobriety is only sobriety itself.

Anyway, no matter what, he would never let someone install that "puppet circuit" on himself.

After Jiang Zhou finished speaking, Booker stared at Liao Qi for a long time, and then he said slowly:

"So... the things you just said are also the experience of the lower class street?"

Realizing that he seemed to be talking too much, Jiang Zhou immediately shrugged as if he didn't care:

"Remember to order a cup of hot tea for the girl you are dating. This is a good experience."

He paused, then continued:

"The other ones are what I learned in the talent incubation center run by the company before."

One of the few things that has not been returned to the teacher until now.

Jiang Zhou explained it this way.

At this moment they have gone down to the underground garage.

I don't know if Booker believed Jiang Zhou's words, but he walked to the car in the parking space, and the door opened automatically when he sensed his arrival.

Booker, who sat in the cab, pursed his lips, and then said:

"There's a Silent Realm Generator installed in this car."

As he said, he pressed something on the dashboard, and the AR enhancement system in Jiang Zhou's sight immediately displayed "no signal".

"Do you want to talk about the 'paradox'?"

Jiang Zhou panicked for a moment, then realized what the other party was going to do, and immediately calmed down again.

After all, they never had the opportunity to be alone like this before.

"To be honest, I really didn't know you were so smart before."

Booker said with a smile, and then he sighed:

"I want to know, what is your opinion on the existence called 'paradox'? I want to hear your true opinion."

true opinion?

Then it should be: an unlucky person who came from a hundred years ago, whose body can still live for more than 20 days at this moment, but whose consciousness is trapped in the abyss and dark net, who doesn't know if he can live until tomorrow.

"Very mysterious."

Jiang Zhou answered with a serious face.

Seeing that the other party was still staring at him, he continued:

"And, maybe very powerful?"

"perhaps?"

Booker gave a wry smile when he heard the words, then shook his head repeatedly and said:

"You are still too optimistic, but maybe this is young people..."

Before Jiang Zhou had time to say anything, Fang Fang lowered his voice as if he was afraid that "paradox" would eavesdrop in the car, and then said in an extremely serious tone:

"Let me tell you some information obtained by the intelligence team. About twelve hours ago, the intelligent control factories of Pluto Deep Dive Company in Luxor and the Salt Lake resettlement area were shut down due to unknown reasons. So far, there is no news And the video of their next-generation flagship product, a car accident with an anti-gravity engine, went viral on the World Wide Web; and the company's stock market went straight to the limit...

"Legendary mercenary king, Zero Sum announced the confiscation of all properties of Pluto Deep Dive in 'Zero Sum City'; and Neptune Communications also sent two more floating islands to East Africa, where Pluto used to be The site of Pluto Deep Dive... There have been more than 50 abnormal changes like this, and now you open the World Wide Web and search for 'Pluto Deep Dive' as a keyword, all the headlines are the great achievements their company has made recently. And any attempt to talk about Pluto in a public space will end up filling your private messages with chatbots."

Having said that, Booker straightened up a little, looked straight into the other's eyes and said:

"So as smart as you are, you shouldn't forget where we were just twelve hours ago?"

Jiang Zhou was stunned when he heard this.

Was it so exaggerated?
