Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 92 NO.005b: Planning and Selfishness

What?

The evolutionary path designed for the "first deep diver"?

The moment Jiang Zhou heard this sentence, his heart skipped a beat.

Immediately afterwards, he immediately used the puppet circuit to erase his surprise, so that his reaction would not appear strange.

"The first deep diver... is that the first deep diver?"

Jiang Zhou asked curiously.

It would be suspicious if he acted like he wasn't curious at all.

"I don't know which first deep diver you know, but what I'm talking about is the personality blueprint that Janus evolved, the man named Jiang Zhou a hundred years ago."

Fanny said so.

Hearing his name, Jiang Zhou asked without changing his face:

"But from what I've heard... wasn't that person dead, or missing in the shock?"

This is currently the most widely circulated statement on the World Wide Web, including the previous Black Falcon-136 and Qianxia Sakura, when they mentioned the first deep diver, they all said this.

Of course, there are many other conspiracy theories. For example: the first deep diver became the founder of the Olympian order, said that he was integrated with Janus, said that the first deep diver was actually not Jiang Zhou but someone else, said that the first deep diver The diver is actually a chimpanzee...

Regarding Jiang Zhou's question, Fanny nodded and said:

"It is indeed missing, and most of the information is lost. But there is evidence that the first deep diver may also be among the first-generation adjusters... In the late stage of the Great Shock, after other super artificial intelligences were uploaded, Yanu In order to prevent more challengers from appearing, Si modified the network protocol to block the path of digital personality evolution.

"However, after His fall, only the Path of Theseus was left behind, which required the use of digital personality technology to upgrade. Therefore, it is generally speculated that this path was created for the first deep diver..."

Having said this, Fanny stopped.

"It seems to be going too far... All in all, after the path of Theseus reaches depth 4, he will constantly back up his personality to ensure that his mental index will not change drastically."

After speaking, Fanny stood up.

"About the Path of Theseus, you only need to understand the level of depth 4... To be honest, if it wasn't for that idiot Ye Qian who made the adjustments and transformations of the 'Path of Theseus' on your own initiative, to With your talent, I could have arranged a promotion path with a higher upper limit for you."

Rather than such a dangerous and incomplete road that is not only blocked by the Human Intelligence Ethics Supervision Committee, but also theoretically impossible to break through the limit of the depth of 7 human intelligence.

Pity.

Fanny seemed to say so with some regret.

At this moment, her expression has the feeling of watching her most promising student choose Tiankeng major.

And in this atmosphere, Jiang Zhou couldn't find a chance to continue asking.

After all, she didn't even promise that the other party would stay, and she was willing to tell herself so much, which was considered as the utmost benevolence.

If you ask more questions, Jiang Zhou is worried that the other party will become suspicious.

In fact, even for a moment, he wondered if the woman named Perse Fanny in front of him really noticed something.

But after the other party finished speaking, he didn't ask himself any more questions, but paused at the door of the ward before leaving.

"By the way, I heard from those teammates who went down to the abyss with you that you seem to have sworn to join the 'Icarus Liberation Front' earlier, right?"

she asked, turning her head.

Jiang Zhou nodded subconsciously.

"If you ultimately intend to stay, I personally suggest that you make it clear to them... There is nothing shameful in making compromises for a better life. Especially in this era, pure idealists often There is no way out. In the end, the wax on the wings will be baked by the sun, and it will fall into the sea and be forgotten, no one cares about it.

"Therefore, never be limited by the stumbling rope called 'nobility' to limit your possibilities. This world has its own laws, and the laws will not change because of your will."

After Fanny finished speaking, she left here as lightly as a ghost.

…………

While waiting, Jiang Zhou kept sorting out the known information in his mind.

It's about the way of Theseus; it's about the Janus program; it's about the reason why I came to this era through a hundred years...

The upgrade path specially designed for the "first deep diver" happens to be a brain plug-in that can cure his radiation sickness, and even Hecate, the goddess of the dark moon, helped correct the hidden dangers in the adjustment...

The more he thought about it, the more Jiang Zhou felt his own destiny, as if he was being controlled by some existence in the dark.

Otherwise, it would be too dramatic to attribute all this to coincidence.

However, if one wants to say that all of this is the arrangement of a certain existence, no matter what that existence is, this arrangement will appear too hasty.

After all, both Jiang Zhou and Liao Qi had experienced a moment when their lives were hanging by a thread not long ago.

Moreover, it is still the kind of life that hangs by a thread if one wrong step is made. And his ability to survive in the end is definitely not the result of a mysterious existence in the dark, the mechanical descending god.

Recalling the huge floating existence that he saw when he dived for the first time, Jiang Zhou said silently in his heart:

"So, is this all your arrangement... Janus."

Is it because he didn't die in the big shock at all; or, he foresaw his own destruction in the past, so he left this original version of himself in order to be able to return?

For this reason, he stirred up the probability and led himself on the path of "The Road of Theseus"?

Based on the information he already knows, this is the most likely explanation that Jiang Zhou can come up with at the moment.

The Internet environment that gave birth to super artificial intelligence in the past has been changed forever, and in the current Internet environment, only the most primitive version of myself can be resurrected along the path left by him.

So, is this the truth, or something close to the truth?

To be honest, Jiang Zhou was not sure about this at all.

In general, we still know too little about the real history of the past hundred years...

He sighed slightly.

In this era, if one wants to understand the history of authority, one must find someone with sufficient authority—those first-generation regulators who have survived a major shock, those directors of super corporations, or legendary servants who have broken through the limit of human intelligence. King of soldiers.

In other words, only when he is strong enough to be in contact with those people can he be qualified to understand the truth of history.

As for the way to become stronger... On the path of Theseus, compared with others, I must have a unique advantage - if it is true, as they said, this path is tailor-made for myself.

But in this way, the question of whether he still needs to stay in Tartarus has become more entangled.

If I stay in Pluto and dive deep, regardless of other dangers. According to Perse Fanny, she would only allow herself to be upgraded to depth 4.

Up to depth 5 at most—that is, the highest level that can be reached according to the regulations of the Human Intelligence Ethics Supervision Committee.

Perhaps it would be better for him to choose to leave here.

After all, in the hands of Hecate, there is a list of adjustments and modifications needed until depth 3, and I should have the opportunity to trade them from her in the future.

In this way, even if he left Tartarus, he would not be unable to continue to be promoted.

And as for the depth later... let's talk about it later.

Anyway, if he left the company and was not under the supervision of the company, the upper limit he could achieve in the future would definitely be much higher.

"Boom boom boom."

While thinking of this, a knock on the door suddenly resounded not far away.

Jiang Zhou looked up, the door of the room was not closed, Black Falcon-136 and the others were standing outside the door at the moment, as if they were asking if they could come in.

Seeing this, he immediately got up and greeted him.

"Good boy! I knew you must be alive!"

136 walked over, and immediately gave himself a warm hug, while Qianxia Ying rolled her eyes involuntarily.

"I've been talking all the way here, why do I feel that you've been cursing someone to die?"

After finishing speaking, she smiled at Jiang Zhou and said:

"I heard from the people in the confinement room that after you provoked those company dogs during the interrogation, you were taken away by Ye Qian's grandson. B6 has been worried that you will be pulled over and executed."

"No, no...they took me there to stabilize my radiation sickness."

In response, Jiang Zhou pointed to his head and replied.

Regarding the fact that he has been upgraded to a depth 1 adjustment person, Jiang Zhou has not said for the time being.

"Tsk...that sounds too good to be something those company dogs would do."

After letting go of Jiang Zhou, 136 sat down on a stool next to him and said with disgust.

"It's just because it still has value."

Jiang Zhou replied like this.

After talking with Fanny earlier, Jiang Zhou's temporary residence was adjusted to be with the previous Icarus prisoners of war.

This is also the first time they have met again since they returned from the abyss and dark net.

When Jiang Zhou mentioned "use value", except for 136, the expressions of the rest of the people were obviously excited.

"Do you know about that too?"

She asked suppressing the excitement in her tone.

"What are you talking about?"

Jiang Zhou pretended to be stupid and asked.

Qian Xiaying slapped him on the shoulder, with an expression of "Don't pretend to be me".

"That's why we will be released back to Icarus!"

She said with some joy in her tone:

"I don't know what conditions the new team leader negotiated. All in all, we are likely to be released back to the Nord resettlement area next month."

In response, Jiang Zhou nodded:

"Well, I have heard, but it seems that I am not completely sure?"

Jiang Zhou said, and turned to look at 136 beside him.

At this moment, his face was obviously gloomy.

"This is a mistake, a very serious mistake... No matter who is new in office, whether it is Erwin or Shen. As the leader of Icarus, he should not negotiate any form of agreement with the company. Then It is the field they are good at, and the game is played under their rules.

"And playing according to their rules, we must end up losing."

136 muttered as if talking to himself.

"If the team leader Corrett is still alive, he will definitely not allow this to happen."

"Yeah, so he's dead."

To this, Qian Xiaying replied dryly.

And her words made 136 suddenly look up at him.

"Xia Ying, you shouldn't..."

"Hey, come on, B6."

Qian Xiaying interrupted 136's seemingly angry speech, she said with a nonchalant expression:

"I have as much respect as you for Team Leader Coreyt, or should I call him the former Team Leader? But I have to admit, the current Team Leader; Mr. Booker, I guess; is a lot more pragmatic than him. Although we certainly don't I can't win, but at least I won't lose so badly. If I have to choose one of two failures, I will definitely choose the one that can survive."

Only by being alive can we wait for the opportunity to change.

"Besides, if you really have any grievances, it's better to tell the other party in person when you go back. "

Saying that, Qian Xiaying sat aside, and finally said this.

Hearing this, 136 took a deep look at Qian Xiaying, and then said:

"I understand. In fact, winning or not is not important to you. As long as you can survive, it's fine."

As for this, Qian Xiaying responded with an unchanged expression on her face:

"It's the same for you. Winning or not is not important to you. As long as you die to satisfy the 'noble' in your heart, the ending is fine.

"It seems that you are much more selfish than me."
