House Witch

Chapter 1165 1164. Intelligent Apostle

"Souls are digitized, machines ascend, the power of the world of Intelligent Apostles is quite interesting."

On the other side, in the room of the villa, Dorothy put down the information in her hand.

Although she was a little surprised at first that this intelligent wasteland turned out to be the previous chessboard world, she was more curious about what this world had experienced in the years since it left the chessboard.

Under the power of the God King's apocalypse, this world was once beset with four disasters.

Disputes, wars, famines, plagues.

This is something that living people can hardly bear, and the fragile flesh can hardly bear such torture. If you want to survive these continuous natural and man-made disasters, there is only one way, that is, to transcend the limitations of the mortal body.

Flesh and blood are weak, and machines ascend.

Fortunately, the Winter Empire co-founded by Dorothy and Elsa finally completed the early technical accumulation of mechanical ascension before the natural disaster. Although the technology of digitizing the soul and storing the soul into data in the huge Hades Differential Machine had not been experimentally verified at that time, under the pressure of the world-destroying natural disaster, the survivors had no choice but to turn themselves into test subjects of this technology.

Some failed and embraced death with their flesh and blood, while others succeeded and were reborn with their steel bodies in the blood and fire.

The digitized and clearly visible soul consciousness allowed them to overcome the disputes, and the steel bodies that could be continuously replaced, repaired and upgraded made them fearless of war, famine and plague.

In this way, under the leadership of the great pioneer Akat, the survivors established the current Intelligent Machinery Alliance, which has lasted for tens of thousands of years, on the ruins of the extinct Winter Empire.

As the alliance has developed to this day, the former Hades Difference Machine has evolved into the current Skynet system. The power of machinery has completely freed people from the pressure of survival, allowing them to pursue more advanced things.

In short, the technology of this world has now exceeded the imagination of Dorothy, the creator. The future blueprint she designed for the Winter Empire was not planned to this extent.

Of course, she also saw at a glance the biggest contradiction and problem of this alliance, which is the contradiction between the spiritual quality of the people and the overly ideal equality system.

Yes, if we only look at the material conditions, the people of this world are simply living in heaven. Even if they don’t work hard, they can live a good life and never have to worry about food, clothing, housing, transportation, medical care, and pension.

The almost surplus productivity brought by the advanced technology of this world can fully meet the needs of all the alliance members. The only problem is that the personal qualities of the alliance members are not advanced enough to be fully integrated with their overly ideal equality system.

Dorothy also had to admit that the ideals of the founders of the alliance were beautiful. They were all people who survived the doomsday, and most of them were great people who had suffered themselves and wanted to support the future generations.

So they built this perfect social system that is like heaven. All management is handed over to an absolutely fair and selfless system, and all production is handed over to hardworking machines. All people are equal, without distinction between high and low, and there is no class in society. There are only differences in the distribution of their respective jobs. Everyone can do the work they like and have talents for, and they only live for self-realization.

How beautiful this utopia is, just thinking about it is fascinating, and the witch of the house can't wait to become one of them.

It's a pity that dreams are beautiful and reality is cruel. There is original sin in human nature, which makes it impossible for humans to be rational forever, and they can't really pursue self-realization according to the concept of the utopia.

If you don't need to do anything, people will only become lazy. If you don't need to pursue anything, hard work will have no meaning. If everything is absolutely equal, there will be no soil for ambition to grow.

The always rational machine will not do things that harm others and themselves, but humans will really make choices that harm others and themselves.

The realization of the ideal country requires all citizens to have extremely high moral standards and lofty self-pursuits, but it is obvious that most people in reality do not have these two elements.

Therefore, forcibly implementing this overly advanced system when the quality of the people has not yet reached the standard will only cause everything to become distorted and collapsed.

This alliance that has been maintained for tens of thousands of years is now only stable on the surface, but in fact, it has long been undercurrents and is shaky.

Moreover, in the final analysis, the alliance has not actually achieved true equality. There is still a kind of transcendent existence above ordinary people, that is, the apostles who have completed mechanical ascension.

Each of these apostles is an immortal existence, their wisdom is comparable to that of optical computers, and their bodies are as strong as gods. They are perfect existences that all mortals envy.

But unfortunately, not all members of the alliance can become apostles.

The system stipulates that only those who have made certain contributions to their respective duties and obtained enough points for their duties are eligible to be digitized by souls, and then get rid of the bitter flesh and live forever in the body of steel.

Apostolic rights and reproductive rights are the only two inequalities in the system.

But you can still hope to get reproductive rights one day if you are lucky, after all, it seems that this thing is really distributed randomly.

But apostolic rights are really a dream that most people cannot reach.

Someone has calculated that if you are not that kind of genius and just perform your vocation in a dull manner, you need to never stop and perform it for a full hundred years without taking a day off to accumulate enough contribution points for the apostolic power.

A hundred years, a hundred years without even one day. Is this something that humans can do?

As for genius

Alas, even if the alliance forces the genes of all newborns to be on the same starting line, talent and talent are not entirely determined by genes. There are always some people who are born different, even if everyone uses the same genes. Hardware, but their results are better than others.

Ordinary people need to work hard for hundreds of years to accumulate enough contribution points. Those geniuses can achieve it in decades or even ten years, and some monsters can achieve it in just a few years. It is really enviable to the extreme.

Is it possible not to be jealous? After all, the difference between this apostle and ordinary people is really huge.

In Dorothy's view, even the lowest apostle probably has the strength of a great witch. This strength can be regarded as a god in most worlds, and ordinary Alliance people, even if they are highly cyborgs, Transformation is something that even ordinary witches may not be able to achieve.

This is the gap between heaven and earth, gods and mortals.

On the one hand, there is a pathological forced equality, and on the other hand, there is the mechanism of becoming a god in one step. Dorothy can only say that this alliance is really twisted enough, as if it is about to "there are some things you will not have in this life if you are not born." "This line of writing is written directly. This requires more talent than the witch world.

However, when the otaku witch went through the soul digitization information again, she suddenly realized it.

This information is top secret and cannot be seen by ordinary people. Dorothy only relied on Zero to collect the tip of the iceberg, but it was enough to relieve her doubts.

"Tsk, let me tell you, there is no such thing as a pie in the sky. It's great to reach the sky in one step, but there are no restrictions or costs behind it. The duty and points of love are actually to refine your heart in the world of mortals first."

Dorothy sighed, realizing once again that equal exchange is the truth.

According to the information she read from these top-secret files, the digital transformation of the soul is extremely risky, and the early success rate of transformation is even less than one thousandth.

Later, according to long-term research by the priests and sisters of the Mechanicus, they reluctantly discovered that the problem was not technical, but a metaphysical factor that was inconsistent with technology.

That is the mentality of those failed reformers who are too fragile. Their weak hearts will not allow their souls to be reunited again after being digitized. They can only be completely broken down into a pile of useless objects during the transformation process. Scattered data.

Only with a strong enough heart and strong enough beliefs or pursuits can the transformed person be able to withstand the digital transformation of the soul.

Moreover, your xinxing also determines your mechanical load to a large extent.

The Alliance has always discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, when someone is highly transformed into a prosthetic body, there is a high probability that this person will have mental problems, and may even become a madman who kills everyone on sight.

Well, this setting is quite familiar to Dorothy, cyberpsychosis.

In the early days of the league, cyberpsychosis was also a disease that was difficult to understand. After all, some people were still normal even if their level of prostheticization exceeded 99, but most people began to show signs of losing control as soon as their level of prostheticization exceeded 50.

At first glance, this seems to be a matter of talent, but obviously everyone in the alliance has the same genetic talent.

This question once tortured many priests and sisters and lost countless hairs. However, after the theory of the nature of mind was proposed, this question was also answered.

That is, the human body affects the soul, and the soul affects the mind.

Once a person's body begins to be transformed by a prosthetic body, the soul will also change in order to adapt to the body. Of course, this small change will not affect anything at first.

But once the degree of prosthetic transformation exceeds 50%, the change in the soul will reach the standard of the spiritual warning line. If you continue to become a prosthetic body, your heart will most likely begin to be affected. .

You will begin to waver in your identity as a human being. You will definitely feel that you are a new species beyond human beings. Ordinary people will be no different from ants in your eyes. You will begin to think about whether you should try killing people like crushing ants. etc.

Alas, after all, species are indeed different on the physical level. Just like you can't expect humans to understand the feelings of ants, you can't expect highly prosthetic supermen to understand you, an ordinary person.

Of course, people who have been reformed may still think that they are quite normal, but in the eyes of others, they have lost their humanity and are already mentally ill.

And the system whose vocation is to protect human civilization will not allow the existence of dangers that may kill humans at any time, so this kind of cyberpsychosis will be eliminated, and the apostles recognized by the system must still retain their humanity.

Therefore, the system finally set a high threshold for apostle transformation in order to select apostle seeds from the crowd who could survive the digitization of souls.

Well, although you can actually bet on the probability if you lower the standard, the system is not as gambling-y as humans. It doesn't want to be uncertain, just 100%.

Even if the lucky ones survived the soul digitization, their upper limit would not be too high. After all, the strength of the apostles depends on the strength of their prostheses, and how many advanced prostheses they can carry depends on the strength of their hearts. What's more, the power of the hearts of some powerful apostles can even amplify the prostheses, making them unscientifically exert power beyond their design upper limit.

Therefore, with limited resources, the system will naturally choose real talents with high upper limits, quality, rather than a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers with low upper limits.

It would be better to use ordinary intelligent machines for miscellaneous soldiers. These fully program-driven mechanical guards will not get mentally ill. Although the upper limit of such intelligent machines controlled by the system computing power is far lower than that of the apostles, the lower limit is high enough.

"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder the alliance supports a stable number of people. It turns out that it is really to increase the delivery rate, and the world that looks at centrality in this way is rare in this Western Universe."

Dorothy thought so.

After all, the immortals in the Eastern Universe are better at tempering their minds, and the Western Universe really doesn't value this so much.

Therefore, this apostle's transformation into a god is essentially the same as those in the Eastern Universe who suddenly realized and ascended to immortality in broad daylight.

After all, in an idealistic world, power is only a minor path, and the mind is the major path.

"Well, then this world is really the best choice for Senior Sister Fanni to treat her illness. Senior Sister should temper her mind well."

But then the witch of the house became worried again.

After all, since the apostle standards in this world are so strict, it means that every apostle will be quite difficult to deal with, and the mind is also firm, which means it is difficult to fool, so the plan to muddy the water and then fish in the water will not be easy to implement.

A true idealist, that is not easy to deal with.

"Forget it, don't think about it, go to sleep, and talk about it tomorrow."

The witch of the house threw the spell book, then covered herself with the quilt, closed her eyes, and went to sleep directly.

However, she slept soundly here, and Elsa next door was still working overtime.

"Huh? What did you say? The Skynet core is lost? Are you kidding?"

In the Angel Girl's base, she finally managed to save those subordinates who survived the disaster, but she never expected that these guys would give her a huge surprise as soon as they woke up.

The core of the entire alliance, the center of the Skynet system, how could this thing be stolen? What do those apostles do?

"Leader, calm down, this is not us, we just heard the news by accident, but before we had time to report it, we encountered the spirit ruins. We heard that the Skynet core awakened itself, she was not stolen, she ran away by herself."

The girl who was trembling with fear at Elsa's momentum explained in this way.

On the other side.

A slender little girl walked naked through the downtown area and took a set of children's clothing from a children's clothing showroom and put it on.

"You are really my good disciple. You even knew to wake me up right away. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

This angel-like cute little girl said this to the unknown foam ball floating beside her while posing in various poses in the mirror.

"Magic"

The foam radiant body was about to say something, but was stopped by the little girl.

"Loki, just call me Loki now."

The little girl Loki said so.

So, the One of All Things was silent for a while, but finally spoke.

"I just want to join forces with you, Loki. This is my most winning style."

"Haha, why should I..."

Loki was about to refuse, but she suddenly discovered something, and then her originally happy expression became stiff.

"Damn, damn Denise, you tricked me and shamelessly ran away."

She looked at the marriage registration book in the database, and her expression became ferocious.

"Okay, let's join forces."

Loki changed his mind again and nodded.

In secret deal.

There is another blind date tomorrow, I wrote it in advance, oh, it's hard to handle
