What is a super villain?

Chapter 310 Cheating Patch
"Zizi... Master, long time no see. It's so nice to hear your voice..."

A calm and familiar male voice came from the personal communication terminal. Fu Xi turned on the loudspeaker, gently tugged on the cuffs of his collar, then lowered his eyes and responded:
"It's Noah, where is my father?"

The voice that appeared on the communication terminal was Noah, which meant that the person hiding behind Amamiya Ningning was indeed Fu Daoyi.

"The master is very busy at the moment. Let me answer the questions you want to know on his behalf."

Noah replied like this, just like the voice Fu Xi had heard in the past.

Fu Xi stopped tapping his fingers unconsciously, paused, and then said to the communicator: "I want to know what my father is planning. What is his ultimate goal?"

"Is the eldest lady with you?"

Noah did not respond directly, but instead asked a seemingly unrelated question.

Fu Xi glanced sideways at Fu Hongying and said flatly, "Yes."

"Then, Miss, please stay away for a moment." Noah immediately said elegantly, "The best thing is, if the young master can ensure that you are alone, that would be great."

Fu Hongying frowned and asked coldly: "Is there anything you need to avoid me alone?"

Noah did not answer on the other end of the communicator, but quietly waited for Fu Xi to make his decision.

After a moment of silence, Fu Hongying let out a displeased snort and left without looking back, wagging her ponytail, "I'm going to the training ground. Call me after you finish talking, brother."

Maggie also smiled slightly, put her arm around Tilu's shoulders and said softly: "Then let's go, sister. Why don't we go to the training ground to practice with Miss Fu."

Tilu nodded in agreement. She looked at Amamiya Ningning and said coldly: "You can also come and observe. You won't feel wronged."

"Respect is worse than obedience."

Amamiya Ningning smiled kindly, rubbed her wrists that were shackled with red marks, and walked forward. Finally, she closed the door, leaving only Fu Xi.

In the silence, Fu Xi took a deep breath and then slowly spoke into the communicator in a deep voice:
"You can talk now, Noah."

"That's not enough, Master." Noah smiled, "Please turn on the holographic scene projection and come to me."

Holographic scene projection is an advanced method of remote communication and is not a confidential technology.

Projection allows people on both sides of the call to create a real projection through their personal terminals, talk face-to-face with the other party immersively, and even see the other person's environment.

Noah's request meant that he had something to show Fu Xi.

Fu Xi did not object and silently turned on the holographic scene projection.

After a short period of data streaming, the scene in front of him had changed, and he appeared in a space station facility with a special Azure Star style.

On the walls of the facility, you can also see the very familiar Rebirth military logo.

"here it is……"

Fu Xi's eyes wandered in the holographic scene. The projection angle was limited, and the dominance was with Noah.

By controlling the viewing angle, Noah could put what he wanted to show to Fu Xi.

"The company is located in the Kuiper Belt's Far Star Space Station, codenamed 'Eden Star'." Noah bowed slightly and explained, "My master has been here for this period of time, busy with exploration and experiments."

With that said, Noah started to take steps, taking Fu Xi's perspective with him, and walked through the corridors one after another.

"The eldest lady may have complained to you that the environment here is boring. The main function of the space station is scientific research, and most of the cabins are classified laboratories. When she was here, her range of activities was very small."

Noah passed one verification after another and walked deeper and deeper into the center of the Yuanxing Space Station.

"What I am about to show you now is the most important core scientific research section of the 'Eden Planet', which is the place where the eldest lady once forced her way in and was blocked from memory by the master."

His voice gradually lowered, "Here, we study the paradoxical technology that combines network and biology - the brain in a vat."

As far as the eye can see, there are three juxtaposed cylindrical closed containers. Three naked brains are soaked in the light yellow life-sustaining liquid in the containers. The blood color and wrinkles of the brain structure are clearly visible.

There are many electrodes hanging from the top of the container attached to the brain, and those lines are connected to the brain like tentacles.

Seeing this horrifying scene, almost everyone fell silent.

Not long after, Fu Xi withdrew his gaze from the mechanical tentacles and brain, and looked around the cabin.

In the eggshell-shaped mechanical warehouse in the corner of the cabin, he saw Fu Hongying again.

In other words, the prosthetic body that Fu Hongying used before, and the monitoring center directly opposite the mechanical warehouse, displays the monitoring data of three 'brains in a vat'.

"Is this the next step of the 'Digital Life Plan'?" Fu Xi asked with a frown.

Academic circles generally believe that the basic criterion for defining the existence of "data life" is: whether the data individual has self-thinking and judgment, and whether it has the ability to learn beyond the limits of the algorithm.

In addition to its philosophical significance, the 'brain in a vat' experiment is an exploration of the study of 'data life' in the early days of the birth of biological computers (ie, wetware in a broad sense).

If computer data is input into a cloned human brain without autonomous consciousness, can the data be transformed into autonomous consciousness through the unique complex structure of the brain?

The history of relevant experiments has long been included in modern biology textbooks, and the academic community has reached definite conclusions many years ago.

--impossible.

But it wasn't this experiment that confused Fu Xi.

But isn't the research on 'digital life' successful long ago?
Through the 'Wormwood' cloud computing group, it is now possible to use data cloning to create truly living people.

Isn't it a bit putting the cart before the horse to study the 'brain in a vat' from the other side?

Just like a mathematical genius who effortlessly overcomes the difficulties of calculus and then turns around and works hard to learn linear equations in two variables, it is somewhat confusing.

Noah did not deny Fu Xi's guess, nor did he give an answer. Instead, he slowly walked to the monitoring center and gently adjusted the communication angle to align with the suspended light screen.

Fu Xi could clearly see what was displayed on the screen.

[No. 03: Fu Hongying]

The wrinkles deep in his eyebrows spread out like spider webs, and he asked, "What does this mean?"

Noah did not remain silent this time, and quickly answered: "It represents the 'brain in a vat' numbered 03 in the laboratory, and belongs to the eldest lady, Fu Hongying."

"But……!"

Fu Xi's voice suddenly rose, but then suddenly stopped.

He thought of it!

To regenerate a person through DNA transcoding cloning technology, only that person's personality data is needed.

Now Fu Hongying beside him is a resurrected 'rebirther', but before that, the original android Fu Hongying still had a complete brain tissue! "In other words, her father 'resurrected' Fu Hongying despite her wishes, just to keep her original brain and stuff it into this container."

"why?"

No wonder she was asked to avoid it. If Fu Hongying saw this scene, she would definitely have a lot of thoughts.

Even Fu Xi could no longer maintain his former calmness.

What does Fu Daoyi want to do?Shall we follow the example of Misaka Mikoto, a famous paper figure from the early years, and create a clone army?
"Master, are you ready to accept this truth?"

Noah confirmed to him again.

"Of course! I've already seen this, what's the point of asking again." Fu Xi looked across the illusory light screen and stared at the brain container in the middle of the laboratory.

"makes sense."

Noah smiled politely, then suddenly lowered his voice and said:
"The truth is: the DNA transcoding cloning technology you know and the data life catalysis technology we have today are both fake."

"What do you mean?"

Fu Xi's eyes were as sharp as ice as he stared at Noah. In the past few minutes, he had asked why too many times.

"You must know that when a dead person can be cloned and resurrected by continuously catalyzing his personality data or memory backup, [death], a problem that has always entangled human beings, has lost its meaning."

"The span of life will be lengthened, and the aloof people who have the power to be infinitely reborn, and the ordinary people who cannot afford to preserve their personalities and memories, will become two completely different races. This means that the term 'human beings' subversion."

Noah slowly started from a simple point of view, "Prolonging life is a scientific research topic that human beings have never stopped, uploading consciousness, increasing the upper limit of human cell iterations, cryogenic sleep, replacing bodies... From the era when humans have not yet set foot in space from the earth, These contents have been studied over and over again, but no progress has been made.”

"A few years ago, no matter how much the natural life span of human beings was extended, it never exceeded the theoretical limit of 180 years. Even the leaders of giant companies who stood at the top of the Blue Star had the best medical resources, and the average age at which they died was no more than 130 years old. [-] years old... But in just one or two years, this boundary barrier no longer exists. If you or I are willing, you can even control the reborn army for thousands of years."

"Is technological progress just that simple?"

He retorted like this, but gave Fu Xi a heavy blow.

Fu Xi could not deny Noah's statement.

I remember that during the initial period of his rebirth, Tilu's grandfather, Russell, the former chairman of Lingguangtian Energy, had to face death because of his age. He died at the age of almost 130.

But in just one or two years after Russell's death, the 'immortality' technology pursued by many humans has achieved great breakthroughs, and immortality is no longer something out of reach.

Technical barriers often cannot be advanced for many years, but once conditions are mature, they can be broken through in a very short time after sufficient accumulation.

It was such a light word that made Fu Xi think that these technological breakthroughs would come naturally.

But in fact, it’s just like what Noah said.

Is technological progress really that simple?

The communication duration on the personal terminal passed by minute by minute, and the silence between the two was like a canyon between cliffs, deep and long.

It wasn't until the lights of Tianshiyuan's Milky Way Star dimmed and it turned into night that Noah's voice rang out from the void and continued:
"The real technological status quo is much crueler. Whether it is consciousness uploading or data life, or even the earliest human-brain bionics, it is theoretically impossible to exist."

He continued: "Human memory and consciousness are essentially the aggregation of weak electrical signals in the brain. When death comes and the body loses temperature and cools down, this signal slowly disappears. Even if the body and brain are reactivated, nothing will be achieved. Sequence feedback, the dead will not come back to life."

"Death is death, it is the iron law of the universe. Creatures controlled by the iron law have no possibility of mediation." Noah used the classic metaphor again, "Just like AI made by humans, it cannot modify its own underlying code. .”

"However, there are still star gods in the world." Fu Xi took a deep breath, "It is not a dead end."

Noah nodded and looked at him with a pleased smile:

"You are right."

Fu Xi couldn't laugh.

His worldview is being reshaped, and a new set of logical chains has washed over his mind.

Death is an inevitable outcome for living things. Human beings cannot change it despite all their efforts, but it is nothing to the Star God.

In fact, he should have thought a long time ago that the 'God above the clouds' can modify the rules of the universe at will for the Celine family, allowing them to easily overcome obstacles and reach the end of the universe that is the limit of science. Then other star gods can naturally do the same.

Just like the life span of the 'Taixu' people is far longer than that of the normal human race, and achieving this only requires fine-tuning the genetic sequence.

Noah’s words were as gentle as the wind, and his tone was as calm as telling another distant story:

"After the death of the eldest lady...I am talking about the first death, the master made many attempts. At that time, Rebirth Military had just escaped from business difficulties and became the top military equipment company in Rose City. Money, talents, and power were all at your fingertips. ."

"The master at that time was completely different from what you have seen before. He was very high-spirited."

Fu Xi nodded. When Fu Hongying was born, the Rose City rebellion caused by the omnic war had not yet occurred, and her biological mother Tan Xiao was still alive.

At that time, Fu Daoyi even had the leisure and elegance to form a rock band in Xiacheng District and support Luo Xi'an in the band to study for a doctorate.

It was obviously very different from the deep and scheming man he had seen.

Tan Xiao's death, and later Fu Hongying's death, undoubtedly profoundly changed Fu Daoyi's life.

"As I said before, escaping death is only a luxury for human beings. The master has tried many times and is almost desperate." Noah paused, "At this time, an unexpected visitor came to him."

"Is it the Star God?" Fu Xi asked.

Noah nodded, "The master trusted him very much and regarded him as a life-saving straw. The Star God helped the master change the rules of human life and death. Since then, the barriers of the technologies you have seen today have begun to loosen, and they have begun to loosen. In the following decades, breakthroughs were made one after another. It was at that time that the android lady who appeared as the 'Red Dragon' was created."

"However, before the star god left, he also warned the master that people who are reborn by changing the rules are not truly alive. Just like cheating patches, they will one day be corrected by other administrators, so that Maintain the stability of the universe."

"What the master is doing now is to find a way to truly let the young lady live before the rules are revised."

Fu Xi thought for a moment and then asked: "What is the specific method?"

Noah shook his head, not knowing whether he didn't know or couldn't tell.

"The method comes from the Star God. I also need the treasure left by the Star God in 'Praise to the Star God' - the Core of the Star God. All the calculations on 'Taixu' are to achieve this goal."

His tone suddenly became complicated, he turned to Fu Xi who was constructed by the holographic scene projection, and said:
"Master, your pursuit of the Star God has made you participate in this whirlpool, and has even broken the master's original arrangement."

"Therefore, I sincerely request you, for the sake of the eldest lady, to assist me in regaining the core of the Star God."

Fu Xi did not respond immediately. His voice seemed calm and he said briefly:
"I see."

"Give me some time, I have to think about it."
