The MDT and Nolan soon got into a heated conversation. But it had nothing to do with the eloquence of the brick. It was just that the brick talked like there was no one else around. Nolan barely had a chance to express her opinion before she was bombarded by the MDT. When the MDT finally took a break, she was so dizzy that she almost forgot about her situation. In the end, it was Hao Ren who remembered to arrange her future life. "Speaking of which, we still have to discuss your future life."
Nolan looked around at the data space that was only visible in her field of vision. "Do you know what's going on around me now? Nothing … I can only see strange streams of light and shadows. The whole world is chaotic. In front of me is a small window, and you are in this window. I can't live in such a place in the future. "
"This is a short-term compatibility problem," Hao Ren nodded. "The spacecraft's host has never loaded a personality plug-in, and the spacecraft's sensors and your nervous system do not match. You can't see the outside world from the spacecraft's perspective, so the system can only temporarily simulate such a space for you. Next, I will let the MDT write a set of drivers for you to connect some of your senses with the spacecraft. This should be a very novel experience, but it is better than staying in the chaotic space. "
Lily leaned on the back of Hao Ren's chair and poked her head out. "That means from now on, the Petrachelys will be your new body! This body's combat power is much stronger than before … "
Nolan had a look of disbelief on her face. There was a hint of anticipation in her uneasiness. "This spacecraft? That … That means I can fly in space? "
Hao Ren smiled and nodded.
"I can see other planets from my own first-person perspective?"
Hao Ren connected to the spacecraft's external monitor. The spectacular CARS and the pale golden star of Tannagost appeared in front of Nolan. "Not only can you see, but you can also land on them. All kinds of novel worlds will open their doors to you. Of course, that is after you are fully compatible with the spacecraft's system. For now, you can only move around in the bridge, and your vision is limited to the inside of the spacecraft. The external monitor needs another set of circuit. "
Nolan closed her eyes slightly and took a deep breath. "Although I don't know what will happen in the end … it seems to be a very interesting life."
"You will lose a lot of fun as a human, but there will always be compensation." Hao Ren nodded seriously. "And if you have a request, you can simulate another set of living environment in the spacecraft's mainframe. You can still live in a human way. Although it is just a simulation, I believe the performance of the spacecraft's mainframe can simulate things that are no different from the real world, even more real than Zorm's Dream Ark."
"What if I want a hug?" Nolan looked at Hao Ren with a faint smile. "A real, warm hug from a friend, not the temperature and touch generated by data. Can you do that?"
Hao Ren was stumped. He did not expect that Lily, who was standing behind him, would say solemnly, "For most tangible creatures, the 'absolute real world' is a false proposition."
Hao Ren and Nolan looked at her, dumbfounded.
"Human consciousness needs a medium to come into contact with the real world," Lily shrugged. "Consciousness is trapped in the brain, separated from the real world by a cage of flesh, blood, and nerves. Our consciousness has never been in contact with the real world. We feel heat because of nerve conduction, and we feel cold because of nerve conduction. All our senses and judgments are transmitted by electrical and chemical signals through hundreds of millions of cells. Some very simple and very primitive viruses are enough to destroy this seemingly advanced perceptual system. The world in the eyes of people with perception disorder is completely different. So to put it bluntly, human beings are a kind of ghost trapped in a cage of flesh and blood. We guess what the outside world is like across hundreds of millions of nerve cells, but we have never really touched anything. So to sum up, we live in a virtual world from birth: our nervous system weaves all the parameters for our consciousness. "
When Hao Ren and Nolan were both stunned, Lily smiled smugly. "So why bother with the body? What's the difference if the shell is made of steel or flesh? What's the difference if the signal is sent to you by nerves or wires? What's the difference if the information you perceive is nerve impulse or electric potential difference? If you want a hug, then make up one for yourself. As long as you believe it is real, then it is real. "
"Although I know you have graduated from Peking University four times, and I also know that you are a straight-A student," Hao Ren looked at Lily with a serious face. "But at this time, I still think that you have eaten something wrong. What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly become like this? "
Lily shook her head. "It's nothing. This is my paper. But I didn't give it to you later. It was too advanced at that time. It's a pity to think about it now."
Nolan's face twitched a few times. She looked away awkwardly. "I was just kidding. I didn't expect you to be so serious."
Lily's ears twitched. "Oh, it's okay. I'm just pretending …"
At this time, both of them began to force themselves to save face.
Only then did Nolan notice that the pointy ears on Lily's head were not decorations. "Huh? Why are your ears … "
Hao Ren laughed and shook Lily's fluffy head up and down. "You've never seen it before, right? The world is big. This is an alien creature."
Then he pointed his other hand at Lil Pea, who was lying on the armrest, dozing off. "Look at this. It's also an alien creature."
Lily wriggled restlessly under Hao Ren's big hand. She wanted to break free but was reluctant to do so. She could only maintain her dignity. "Mr. Landlord, please don't make trouble. I've been a demon for many years. I have dignity. I can live at least three episodes in Journey to the West. You can't do this … Hey, go back a little. Scratch the back of my ear."
Lil Pea opened her eyes in a daze and found that everything was normal. So the little one patted her tail and went back to sleep.
Nolan was stunned for a long time. She opened her mouth but found that it was not her place to comment on the customs of the aliens. She could only speak awkwardly to get Hao Ren's attention. "Uh-huh, I have a question. You're giving me your spaceship. Do you feel at ease?"
When Hao Ren heard this question, he immediately straightened his face and coughed softly. "Ahem, this is exactly what I want to say. Although this spaceship will be your new body, and you can also control part of the spaceship to a certain extent, all of this is restricted. After all, this spaceship has a security protocol. Do you understand what I mean?"
"That is to say … my activities will be restricted by the program?"
"This spaceship and everything on it is controlled by a strict authority tree system." Hao Ren raised a few fingers. "First, the authority tree itself has the highest priority. It cannot be canceled or changed. Second, I am the commander of this spaceship. My instructions have the first priority under the authority tree system. Third, the spaceship's security protocol has the second highest priority after the captain. You cannot disobey it. After that, I will give you a detailed spaceship's safety manual and operating rules. You will know what you can and can't do, as well as some prohibited items in the system. "
Nolan pondered for a moment and nodded with a faint smile. "So in summary, the simplest point is: I have to obey your orders."
Hao Ren twitched the corner of his mouth unnaturally. "This is my order as the captain. The ideal situation of this spaceship is like this: its onboard mainframe has personality and intelligence from today, but it will still be a perfect execution machine. The intelligence of the mainframe cannot affect the efficiency of the spaceship's mission. My job is very dangerous. This spaceship is one of my biggest reliance. I have to make sure that it is good enough. "
Nolan accepted these words calmly. She still had a faint smile on her face. "But as long as it does not conflict with your instructions or the spaceship's security protocol, I can act freely, right?"
Hao Ren could only smile. "You're really a gray fox."
"Got it. I will try my best."
"Speaking of which, I still feel very bad." Hao Ren's dignified expression returned to normal after a few seconds. He scratched his head. "It feels like I'm forcing myself to do something. But don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. "
"It's okay." Nolan smiled freely. "After all, I survived because of you. Compared to the end of the world, the situation now is really good. And it's the same thing: what's there to talk about when things have come to this? "
Hao Ren nodded. "It's good that you can think that way."
"Speaking of which … Petrachelys, right? That's a majestic name. It's not very ladylike, but it seems very reliable. "Nolan smiled brightly." I will remember this name, and remember my new identity: the core intelligence of the Petrachelys. "
Hao Ren had a strange expression on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Then you discuss with the MDT what to do next. I will go check out the other parts of the spaceship."
After saying this, he grabbed Lily and ran out with Lil Pea in his arms.
When they were in the corridor, Lily tugged at Hao Ren's sleeve and whispered, "Mr. Landlord, are we really not going to tell her that Petrachelys means Bastard?"
"… Don't mention it. It's easy for me to have blasphemous thoughts. I didn't come up with this unlucky name."
"Oh."
