Xu Jun and Zhou Jing were both Level 13 experts, and they were the strongest experts in Skynet technology. They controlled 40% of Skynet's core program.
Both of them were very proud of their intelligence, and they looked down on everyone else.
In their eyes, North Star Emperor and Bai Xinyuan were only martial artists. Ao Zhen and the Soaring Serpent only knew how to fight for power. Liu Qifeng and Hai Wuji were both short-sighted fools with no ambition.
Only Gao Zhengyang had a sinister mind and cruel methods, but he was also far-sighted and ambitious. He was a peerless hero, and they had to be wary of him.
However, he had no talent in mathematics. Although he was very diligent in technology, he would eventually be left behind by technology that was constantly improving.
The think tank was ahead in technology, and they controlled many resources. Naturally, they were ambitious.
There was no limit to human desire! Desire was also the strongest motivation for humans to keep moving forward.
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing did not have a strong desire for power, but their advantage in intelligence made them look down on everyone else. Including Gao Zhengyang.
They felt that they should not be restricted by others, especially when these people were far inferior to them. They represented the direction of human evolution, and they held the hope of human beings.
They hoped to control all the resources and use them freely. They did not want to be controlled by Gao Zhengyang.
They wanted to get rid of the restrictions and research without any restrictions. This was also the reason why they secretly researched the Digital Apotheosized Plan.
Of course, it did not matter what the original reason was. As the plan progressed, Zhou Jing and Xu Jun were very clear that they wanted to get rid of Gao Zhengyang at all costs.
As for whether this was beneficial to the human race, it was no longer important.
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing were both extremely intelligent people, and they knew that Gao Zhengyang had Level 13 Mind Power. Before starting this plan, they had developed a special spell in advance: Digital Mind.
The so-called Digital Mind was to convert all the information on the spiritual level into data, and use the method of the spiritual brain to think, removing all emotions.
This spell could perform the most thorough examination of one's own soul.
The two checked many times, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with them. Only then did they start the next step of the plan.
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing's numerical mind spells were very powerful. They were just a little bit weaker than Gao Zhengyang.
Gao Zhengyang's level 14 spirit force was hidden in the deepest part of Xu Jun and Zhou Jing's minds. This involved an understanding of the nature of the mind. Xu Jun and Zhou Jing weren't able to sense anything amiss.
In fact, all the experts in the think tank had Gao Zhengyang's mark in their minds.
The think tank held the most advanced technology and resources of the human race. Gao Zhengyang would never allow anything to happen to the think tank.
Gao Zhengyang didn't care about violating human rights and respecting freedom. For him, safety was the top priority. The others had no choice.
This arrangement also stemmed from his understanding of human nature. If you can control the situation yourself, then don't pin your hopes on others.
Gao Zhengyang's preparation had indeed played a crucial role.
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing were messing around in private while Gao Zhengyang watched coldly from the side.
Their way of thinking was very selfish and very dangerous. However, the two of them had made many breakthroughs in their technology. This kind of progress was completely inspired by their personal emotions and desire to be positive and creative.
If Gao Zhengyang had forced them to make some technological changes, they obviously wouldn't have been able to achieve such good results.
For this kind of top-level technology, enthusiasm, interest, and talent were all indispensable.
There wouldn't be any breakthroughs if they did the work mechanically. After the spirit brain matrix was completed, the repetitive mechanical research work was handed over to the spirit brain matrix.
True experts in technology needed groundbreaking thinking.
For example, Xu Jun and Zhou Jing's digital mind provided Gao Zhengyang with inspiration. With this as the foundation, he created the virtual spirit brain matrix.
Digital apotheosis was an extremely complicated process. The virtual body was a very mature technology. Including the simulated divine sense information, it was also very mature.
But when it came to the soul level and the mind level, there was no mature technology.
The most important thing for intelligent beings wasn't the body, but the mind and the soul. This was also the universally recognized standard of the epoch.
Only those who had a mind and a soul would be recognized as intelligent beings. There were countless life forms in the epoch. It was never important what the external form looked like.
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing wanted to turn into a virtual digital state. This was an extremely bold idea.
Gao Zhengyang, on the other hand, was very supportive of their thoughts. He would even secretly give them psychological hints. This kind of hint was completely traceless, and the two wouldn't notice anything strange.
After more than two hundred years of accumulation, the digital apotheosis plan had become the most important thing for the two of them.
If the two of them could think calmly and objectively, they would discover that the digital apotheosis plan was full of uncertainties and extremely risky.
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing, who had sunk into a state of fanaticism, couldn't see this at all. At this time, the digital mind was actually distorted, and it wasn't as calm and objective.
Today, Xu Jun suddenly wanted to carry out the digital apotheosis plan, which was the accumulation of two hundred years of emotions. Of course, the two of them hadn't lost their rationality. They were just unusually stubborn about digital apotheosis.
Gao Zhengyang watched the whole process of the two of them digitizing. In order to make the plan succeed, he even helped them out.
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing had completed the digital apotheosis, but their Light of the Soul hadn't truly been digitized. It was also this crucial point that caused the two of them to be completely under Gao Zhengyang's control. They had no way to resist.
Under Gao Zhengyang's command, the two of them knelt on the ground and called him daddy, plunging them into complete despair.
Unfortunately, after the despair in their hearts combined with their digital souls, it was almost impossible to truly reflect it. Although their digital apotheosis had succeeded, there were still many problems that needed to be corrected.
However, this didn't affect the two of them from thinking calmly.
Xu Jun knelt on the ground and kowtowed, admitting his guilt. "Sir, Teacher Gao, we were wrong."
In the beginning, Xu Jun and the others could be considered Gao Zhengyang's students. They all respectfully addressed Gao Zhengyang as Teacher Gao. As their status rose, the think tank also became more and more formal. They also felt that Gao Zhengyang wasn't qualified to be their teacher, so they changed to calling him sir.
At this time, Xu Jun wanted to use this form of address to get closer to him.
Zhou Jing quickly reacted. He also kowtowed and shouted, "Teacher Gao, we were also muddle-headed for a moment. From now on, we will listen to Teacher Gao's instructions. If we disobey, our souls will be destroyed! "
Gao Zhengyang smiled. "You two don't have to worry. You are the best test subjects. I can't bear to kill you. "
He then comforted them. "The two of you have become digital gods, so your control over Skynet will be stronger. You can do well in Skynet and maintain order there. "
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing both raised their heads and sincerely thanked Gao Zhengyang for his magnanimity. They even swore that they would do their jobs well to protect the human race and Skynet. They swore to be loyal to Gao Zhengyang until death.
Gao Zhengyang didn't take these words seriously. He said to the two of them, "The combination of your Light of the Soul and digital souls is maintained by my power. With a thought, the two of you will be destroyed and turned into a pair of chaotic data streams. "
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing didn't say anything. The two of them were very smart. In their digital state, their computing power was a hundred times stronger. Even if Gao Zhengyang didn't say anything, the two of them knew that their lives were in Gao Zhengyang's hands.
Gao Zhengyang finally said, "Do your jobs well. No matter what the reason is, this is very likely the right path. "
Gao Zhengyang assigned responsibilities and assigned eight of the ten spirit brain matrices to the two of them. The two of them were responsible for maintaining order in Skynet and monitoring any unusual movements.
In the Radiant City laboratory, Gao Zhengyang even reserved a place for the two of them.
With the current technology, it was very easy to clone a new body. The two of them only needed to implant sensor chips and they could control the body. At least from the outside, there was no difference.
Of course, the level-thirteen power that the two of them cultivated couldn't be preserved. The cloned body could only maintain the original body's genes. The acquired power couldn't be preserved.
Through the modification of various artifacts, the body could still possess extremely high combat power for a short period of time. As experts in the study of spells, Xu Jun and Zhou Jing didn't need to fight.
The two of them were technical maniacs. Although they had relatives and friends, their relationship was very cold. They weren't afraid of being exposed.
In other words, what happened today wouldn't be leaked, and outsiders wouldn't know. The two of them just went to work as usual. The two of them would act as gods on Skynet.
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing calmly accepted this result. If it wasn't for Gao Zhengyang's mind restriction, the other arrangements could be called perfect.
Unfortunately, it was this crucial point that caused all of their efforts to become meaningless.
They used all their strength to jump out of the fence, and they succeeded. But they fell into an even deeper pit.
This ending was full of irony.
Xu Jun and Zhou Jing felt unusually bitter in their hearts. But the bitter fruit was brewed by themselves, and they could only eat it even if they didn't want to. No matter how difficult it was, being alive was better than being dead.
As long as they were alive and maintained their independent consciousness and intelligence, they had the chance to break free and gain freedom.
This kind of thinking also allowed Xu Jun and Zhou Jing to accept failure, and their spirits wouldn't collapse because of it.
Gao Zhengyang had been observing Zhou Jing and Xu Jun from the spiritual level, and was very interested in their state.
As the first pair of digital life in the history of the human race, their significance was far more important than they could imagine.
After giving some instructions, Gao Zhengyang logged out of Skynet. His main body had been staying by the Sunset Lake, by Gao Xiaoqi's side.
Seeing that Gao Zhengyang had opened his eyes, Gao Xiaoqi asked curiously, "Master, how are they?"
"The conversion is considered a success. It's just that the Light of the Soul and the digital soul aren't coordinated enough, and there are still some problems with their emotions. "
Gao Zhengyang shook his head slightly. "There are still many flaws in the technology. The analysis of the soul is also much worse. In fact, the best state is to turn everything into digital, including the mind. This way, the form of life is more meaningful. "
"Completely digital? Is that still life?"
Gao Xiaoqi expressed her doubts. She couldn't accept a completely digital life. What was the difference between that and a virtual NPC?
Flesh, mind, and soul. Only with these three were real life. Other life forms were heresy.
Gao Zhengyang couldn't help but laugh. "Your thinking is too simple."
"Master, are you trying to say that it's simple and childish?" Gao Xiaoqi asked, a little dissatisfied.
"Simple and childish sounds better. Also, you're not simple and childish. You just have a huge misunderstanding in your thinking. "
Gao Zhengyang said patiently, "In fact, all existence can be seen as a piece of information. Whether it's you, me, or the universe, we can all be a piece of information. "
Gao Xiaoqi's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "Master, you and I are the most real existence. The Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms were the most real existences. This is undeniable. Everything on the Skynet is a virtual world made up of information. "
She stood up and said solemnly, "I know the difference between reality and illusion. This boundary can't be blurred. Information can't replace matter, it can't replace reality. "
"Sit down."
Gao Zhengyang said with some amusement, "What are you so worked up about? Let's talk things out. You look like you want to fight. Are you trying to scare me? "
"Master, that's not what I meant."
Gao Xiaoqi was a little embarrassed by Gao Zhengyang's words. She slowly sat down, thought for a moment, and emphasized, "If everything is fake, what's the point of my existence? I can't accept this statement, and I can't accept this assumption. "
Gao Xiaoqi was a very serious and direct person. Although Gao Zhengyang was her master, she would still refute him if she felt that something was wrong.
In fact, Gao Xiaoqi couldn't accept Gao Zhengyang's statement at all. If her existence was just a piece of information, then what was she?
What was Gao Zhengyang? What about her deep feelings for Gao Zhengyang?
This kind of hypothesis denied her existence, denied all meaning to her, and that was why she was a little worked up.
Gao Zhengyang understood this very well. He lovingly rubbed Gao Xiaoqi's fluffy hair.
He said softly, "As a scholar, we need to think calmly. We shouldn't make judgments based on instinct and emotions. "
"As for the understanding of information, you can't simply treat it as a piece of data."
Gao Zhengyang thought for a moment and emphasized, "Even if information is data, it's very complicated data."
Although Gao Xiaoqi still didn't agree, she enjoyed Gao Zhengyang's caress very much. She was like a docile kitten, and a comfortable and satisfied smile appeared on her face. She also didn't have the mood to refute Gao Zhengyang.
"In fact, our understanding of the world, in the end, all comes from perception. Different perceptions determine our understanding of the world.
The simplest particle, to the toad in the dry well, is the world. To the goldfish in the pond, the pond is the world. This is because they can only come into contact with it, and they can only perceive it. "
Gao Zhengyang said seriously, "We are of a higher level than the toad. However, to the era, we are not much different from the toad in the dry well.
What we see, what we hear, and what we feel can all be called information. This information goes through perception and is processed, analyzed, and judged by our thoughts.
What you think is real comes from your perception and judgment.
If your perception was blinded, would your judgment still be accurate?
For example, the virtual world on Skynet is the real world to ordinary people. Because all the information satisfied their senses, satisfied their judgment. This kind of virtual world is real to them. "
When Gao Xiaoqi heard this, she couldn't help but refute, "That's not the same. Virtual is virtual. If you eat a steamed bun in the virtual world, you won't absorb any nutrients. "
She felt that she had found a loophole in Gao Zhengyang's statement. As she spoke, she glanced at Gao Zhengyang proudly.
Gao Zhengyang nodded and asked again, "When he ate the steamed bun, I injected him with the same nutrients as the steamed bun. Is it still fake? "
"Of course, because you gave him real material energy. It's not a piece of information. "
Gao Xiaoqi was even more proud. She even made a face at Gao Zhengyang.
Did you mean that I've found a loophole? Let's see what else you can say!
Gao Zhengyang smiled. He said unhurriedly, "I'll make it simpler. If the digital virtual body on Skynet gets the digital information of a virtual steamed bun, then the virtual body will definitely be full, right? "
"Yes. But this is all virtual data. "
"The question is, how do you know that you're not a piece of virtual data?"
Gao Zhengyang countered with a question, "I just said that all of your judgments come from your perception. But how do you know that you're not a piece of data? "
Gao Xiaoqi thought this was a very simple question, but she thought for a long time and didn't know how to refute it.
As Gao Zhengyang said, all perception came from her. Her judgment also came from perception. So, how could she prove that she wasn't a piece of data?
She couldn't prove herself. If she couldn't prove herself, all other external evidence was meaningless.
Gao Zhengyang continued, "Let's say that the universe is a super virtual world. We are NPCs made up of data. The soul imprint is our core program. Therefore, the soul imprint determines our personality and talent. We collect data and information and grow. "
Gao Xiaoqi lost interest. She said gloomily, "If we're all a piece of data, then it's too boring."
"Look at Xu Jun and Zhou Jing. They took the key step of turning data. In fact, they're telling us that everything can be seen as a piece of information. This line of thinking is correct. "
Gao Zhengyang said solemnly, "As for whether we're a piece of virtual information or whether the era is a large virtual world, it doesn't matter. We have our own independent consciousness, our own mind, and we have meaning.
Even if consciousness and mind are pieces of information and data, this piece of information and data is still unique. It represents us, the great wisdom, and the great life. "
"I'm so depressed."
Gao Xiaoqi opened her arms and hugged Gao Zhengyang, her head buried deep in his chest. "I'm a little scared."
"Don't touch me. You can still hug me like this. "
Gao Zhengyang laughed and hugged Gao Xiaoqi again. Looking at the stars and moon reflected on the deep lake, he said softly, "Don't be afraid. Even if this is a large virtual game, we're still the best players. We're the winners of this game. "
Gao Zhengyang said slowly, "Informationization of data is a very interesting thing. Xu Jun and Zhou Jing made me confirm one thing, and that is that everything can really be turned into information.
We can turn the human race, the human world, and even the entire era into information and store it in the spirit brain. When the era comes again, we can take the information out … "
