Global wasteland: I am as good as a god with a machine

At nine o'clock in the evening, Linjiang District is filled with soft red soil and neon lights.

It was as if there was no night in this city. There were bright lights everywhere. Under this strong light, even the sky was as bright as a silver screen.

The vehicle Wu Mian and his party were traveling in was a rusty wheeled van.

Wheeled vehicles, a slow means of transportation, are a product that has been eliminated by the times and are also a symbol of the poor. The only advantage of this kind of means of transportation is that it does not require identity authentication and does not need to be connected to the transportation network system, making it easier to hide one's identity.

It was hard for Wu Mian to believe that he had lived in this city before, because everything he saw felt very strange and had no impression of it.

Soon, his suspicions were dispelled.

The most prosperous area in Linjiang District is where the headquarters of Jinma Group is located.

Due to the smart butler murder incident, the opposition to omnics reached its peak five years ago. All equipment and technical data related to synthetic humans were destroyed, and all related industries closed down. However, the Jinma Group miraculously survived and developed more and more.

Swift and violent.

This group is a huge multinational enterprise. It not only controls 30% of the world's chip business, but also owns hundreds of subsidiaries, covering various fields, ranging from the production of toilet paper and toothbrushes to the training of law enforcement officers.

The manufacturing of institutions and aircraft carriers, rockets, and satellites can be described as everything you want.

Even the law enforcers responsible for public security in Kyoto under the coalition government, 60% of them are corporate police employed by the Jinma Group. Therefore, the Jinma Group has obtained corporate immunity, and in some special fields, it can even override the law.

above.

The headquarters of the Jinma Group is the largest building complex in the city. Its scale far exceeds that of the Congress. It looks like a fortress from a distance, with a wide range of automatic defense weapons on a tall wall.

In the center of the building complex, an office building like a giant lollipop towers into the sky, with the laser spotlights at the top sweeping majestically over the city.

Under the light of quartz lamps and holographic projections, the Jinma Group is like a huge stage, showing its unique status.

Wu Mian was sitting in the car and saw the armed security team patrolling outside the Jinma Group and the small maglev defense tanks. He racked his brains and couldn't figure out how he could sneak into the most heavily guarded place in the city.

Vehicles are traveling fast on the street, and the appearance of the Golden Horse Group is also highly integrated with Wu Mian's memory.

Unfortunately, he still couldn't remember anything.

The vehicle finally stopped at the entrance of Linghu Lane.

This is an old neighborhood. Linghu Lane is separated from the new city area by a narrow moat. Without the prosperity of the urban area, the streets are full of overlapping signboards. The neon and holographic signs are also damaged and flash while flashing.

Sparks are splashing out, and the towering stacked buildings give people a feeling of breathlessness.

Nan Ci stood in the darkness of the alley, put on the power glove on his left hand, and handed a rusty six-round revolver to Wu Mian: "Is this here?"

"I don't know. The information in my memory is limited."

Wu Mian looked at the completely unfamiliar neighborhood and took the iron pipe pistol.

This weapon was once eliminated because it was difficult for such firearms to cause damage to synthetic humans and robots. It was not until the synthetic humans were eliminated that the military and police forces reissued this equipment that was low-cost, easy to produce and maintain.

Nan Ci's left eye flashed red, and he quickly locked on to multiple surveillance cameras in the block. He ordered a few people around him: "There are many surveillance facilities on this street. If we enter rashly, we will leave behind image data. Dai

Yue, hack the surveillance system here!"

"follow me!"

A young man named Dai Yue took the lead and quickly led several people into an alley on the side of the road, where they found a locked data terminal box.

"Bang!"

The terminal box cover with a hydraulic lock was easily torn off by Nan Ci, who was wearing power gloves.

Dai Yue stepped forward, the light from his right eye illuminated the internal structure of the terminal box, and at the same time he began to rotate the first knuckle of his right index finger.

After the knuckles were twisted off, Dai Yue inserted the USB plug hidden inside into an interface inside the terminal box, and then the whole person remained as still as a wax statue.

Seeing Wu Mian staring at Dai Yue intently, Nan Ci thought he was interested, so he explained: "Dai Yue is different from you and me. He is not a semi-synthetic human who replaced a small number of mechanical parts on an organic body.

Fully synthetic human, the so-called fully synthetic human is..."

Wu Mian interrupted Nan Ci before she could finish her words: "Fully synthetic humans refer to those whose entire body has been replaced with mechanical and electronic components. They have become a conscious body without a real body, and this

This kind of consciousness can be transplanted but cannot be copied. It is highly single and can be transferred to mechanical prosthetics composed of inorganic substances. In the past, this kind of consciousness was called soul by humans, but now it is more like a kind of data, and only

Quantum brains can analyze, but because of the suppression of synthetic humans, quantum brains are no longer produced."

"Yes, the difference between fully synthetic humans and intelligent robots is that intelligent robots use artificial intelligence, while fully synthetic humans are derived from the wild intelligence of humans themselves. They have unique personalities and emotions that intelligent robots do not have. However, currently

No one can figure out whether the consciousness of a fully synthetic human is controlled by the soul, or whether the quantum brain is simulating the way of thinking of the person who has the conscious body.

However, fully synthetic humans are like a processor and can communicate with electronic products, which humans cannot do. The most important thing is that they have the same origin as humans and do not have the risk of alien awakening like intelligent robots.

, and cannot be cracked or manipulated by hackers.”

Nan Ci looked sideways at Wu Mian: "Have you recovered your memory?"

"No." Wu Mian shook his head in disappointment: "If you specifically asked me to recall this knowledge, I couldn't remember it, but when we mentioned it, I found that it was in my mind. This feeling is very uncomfortable.

Well, it makes me feel like I can’t control my thoughts, and my whole person is like a shell.”

"Humans themselves are very strange creatures." Nan Ci paused, looked at Dai Yue, who was intruding into the monitoring system through the terminal box, and shrugged, "And now, humans are no longer just creatures."

Wu Mian did not respond, but Dai Yue's body did make him feel a little surprised. Such fully synthetic humans that can be completely confused with real people are rare nowadays.

Due to various materials, production and technology prohibitions, most fully synthetic humans look more like lumpy robots or puppets with stiff faces.

During the conversation between the two, Dai Yue had already taken out his finger and nodded to Nan Ci: "I used the data conflict to freeze the picture of the surveillance probe. We have ten minutes."

"action!"

It seemed that this was not the first time that Nan Ci had led a team. After receiving the exact response, he covered his face with the triangle scarf around his neck and took the lead in walking towards Linghu Alley.

While marching, Wu Mian deliberately slowed down and walked behind a few people. Taking advantage of the others' unpreparedness, Wu Mian began to stretch out his hand and move the first knuckle of his left thumb.

As Wu Mian exerted force, his knuckles became loose, but they were not screwed down, but could be lifted upwards like a lid.

There is also a USB plug hidden in his fingers.

Wu Mian was shocked by this result, because before this, his thumbs had always been conscious, which was not the same as that of a fully synthetic human.

Wu Mian reset his knuckles, pulled off a piece of wire from the fence next to him, and lightly scratched the skin of his left upper arm.

He felt pain and had blood flowing out, which was enough to prove that he was a human being, just a semi-synthetic human.

At this moment, Wu Mian's pupils shrank sharply.

In his memory, a semi-synthetic body without a quantum brain cannot control electronic devices. If this is the case, why does an electronic interface appear on his body, and what is its significance?

Nan Ci, who was walking in front, saw Wu Mian lagging behind and turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"fine!"

Although Wu Mian was extremely surprised by what happened to his body, he still followed him with a calm expression.

For some reason, Wu Mian vaguely felt that Nan Ci seemed to be unable to answer his doubts, and in his subconscious, he did not want others to know his secret.
