With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 97 Brain in a vat!

This is definitely not a place for people to live!
With just a glance, Chen Fan came to a conclusion in his mind.

After confirming that there was no danger inside, Chen Fan carefully walked through the large melted hole in the metal door and walked into the room.

This is a dark, deep room.

It is filled with complex circuits and hoses flowing with pale pink liquid.

Several of the lines were still flashing with electric sparks and exuding a burning smell.

These circuits and hoses snaked wildly on the ceiling and floor, and finally converged into the deepest part of the room.

There are cylindrical mechanical devices standing on the floor of the room, with some signal lights flashing on their surfaces.

These columns are very tall, with a diameter of more than one meter and a height of more than three meters.

Looking closely, there are bright red lasers inside these cylindrical mechanical devices.

"Looks...kind of like a more advanced computer?"

Chen Fan murmured in a low voice.

Yi, who had just completed the basic scan, confirmed Chen Fan's guess.

[Optical quantum computer array. 】

[Its performance far exceeds the traditional electronic computers in the lobby. 】

Chen Fan nodded, stepped over the wires and hoses on the ground, held the WP-1 in his hand, and walked slowly deeper into the room.

Silks of cool air continued to seep from the ventilation ducts on the walls of the room, making a continuous hissing sound, which brought a bit of weirdness to the already quiet room.

Chen Fan couldn't help but shudder.

Judging from the monitoring data provided by Yi, the temperature here has dropped to 10 degrees Celsius - the temperature in this room is actually lower than the rest of the church!
You know, in order to dissipate heat for the server array inside the hall, a super-powerful refrigeration device is installed deep in the hall!
"Drip, drip, drip..."

A slight but rhythmic beep came from deep in the room, attracting Chen Fan's attention.

He tightened the pistol in his hand, stepped forward, walked around the cylindrical optical quantum computer arrays, and walked in the direction of the buzzer.

A cylindrical metal platform caught Chen Fan's eyes.

The circuits spread throughout the room meet under the metal table and extend into the metal table.

On top of the metal table is a transparent glass container that is also cylindrical.

The container is filled almost to the brim with a pale pink liquid - hoses from all over the room converge here and are connected to the glass container.

A human brain with a wrinkled surface and a slightly pale white color floats quietly in the pale pink liquid!

Do not!
Not floating!

Instead, it is firmly fixed in the center of the glass container by countless hair-thin threads!

Looking at the shocking scene in front of him, Chen Fan couldn't help but have a guess in his mind.

Brain in a vat!

This is even more exaggerated than the Archbishop’s mechanized transformation that only retained the brain!

It completely abandoned its original body, placed its brain in a glass tank filled with nutrient solution, directly controlled the optical quantum computer with the help of countless artificial nerves, and monitored the entire church and even the entire city of Varela...

Chen Fan turned his head and looked at the surrounding environment, with a look of enlightenment in his eyes.

No, it’s not giving up the body.

For the brain in front of him, the entire North Church is probably his body! ! !
"This...is this the Pope?"

Gao Yuan, who was following Chen Fan, realized this problem belatedly. His eyes trembled and he asked Chen Fan in a hoarse voice.

For Gao Yuan, the impact of this scene is unparalleled, second only to the moment when he learned the identity of the goddess.

"I'm afraid so."

Under Gao Yuan's horrified gaze, Chen Fan shrugged, stepped forward without any psychological pressure, and gently knocked on the transparent cylindrical glass jar: "Your Holiness, are you still alive?"

Really. Knock your head gently. Thinking that what he knocked might be the Pope's Tianling Cap, Chen Fan's expression became strange.

[Already brain dead. 】

Without waiting for the Pope to respond, Yi made the final verdict: [Ten minutes ago, when this machine successfully seized control of the server array, the circulation of these nutrient solutions stopped. ]"

[The Pope chose to commit suicide. 】

Looking at the increasingly pale brain in front of him, Chen Fan shook his head helplessly.

"Yes, the clue has been broken again."

In the original plan, Chen Fan planned to use the Pope to further understand the true identity of the goddess. Although it can be confirmed that the true identity of the goddess is artificial intelligence, her specific level cannot be determined.

Theoretically speaking, if the Pope is a Level I artificial intelligence, then the goddess is at least a Level II artificial intelligence.

but now……

Since the true identity of the Pope is a human brain, it is nonsense to judge the true condition of the goddess.

【No. 】

As Yi's voice came, a slender arc was quickly retracted from the optical quantum computer next to it: [This machine has conducted a comprehensive search of the optical quantum computer array here. 】

[Although the Pope cleared all the data before his death, this machine still tried to restore some important information. 】

"what's the message?"

Chen Fan became excited when he heard this.

When encountering such a discrediting situation, you still have to watch Yi's performance! !
[There are two independent data transmission cables here. 】

[But now both cables are cut. 】

Chen Fan looked in the direction guided by the holographic projection, and happened to see the two cables flashing with sparks when he first entered.

He walked to the two cables, stretched out his right hand and gently held the broken cable.

A slender arc came out from the palm of the hand again, and accurately penetrated into the broken cable.

[One of them leads to the Wall of Sighs, and the other leads to the outside of the wall. 】

After a short wait, Yi gave the answer.

"Outside the wall?!"

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed: "Is the Pope connected with the world outside the city?"

"Can you determine the coordinates of the other party?"

[The cable leading to the outside of the wall has broken in many places, and the coordinates of the end point cannot be determined. 】

[However, after comprehensive analysis of the remaining information restored, this machine can give a rough range. 】

As he spoke, the holographic panel in front of Chen Fan quickly enlarged.

A huge red shadow was marked on the north side of Varela City, which was circular in shape.

[Based on the current information, this machine believes that the other end of the data transmission cable may be another city. 】

Chen Fan nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that the mission goal after leaving Varela City is already clear.

Find the unknown area where the Pope generated the data exchange and get more information about the Goddess from it!
Just when Chen Fan was about to make some adjustments to his plan, the blue holographic panel suddenly turned into bright yellow.

【warn! An accident occurred in the Awakening Plan! 】

[The guards of the Wall of Sighs have entered the city! 】

ps: Fortunately, I caught up... I almost had to make up another chapter in the afternoon...
