Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 256 NO.00ff: Copy of Mental Model

Jiang Zhou still remembered that Perse Fanny had said something similar to him not long ago.

So, he once again tried to imagine what would happen if all human beings were equipped with "Pegasus" - the problem of radiation sickness caused by mental model scanning was completely solved, and people could safely and cheaply back up their consciousness as a Copies achieve immortality at the data level.

And because they can enter the "zombie" state, even if people enter cyberspace activities for a long time, their bodies in the basic reality will not lack maintenance.

Furthermore, with just one command, zombies staying in the human world can also reproduce fully automatically. As a result, the problem of human genetic iteration has also been solved - maybe this method of "physical trusteeship" can also improve today's dwindling fertility rate.

By then, the body will be nothing more than an extension of the soul, the shell that new humans use to touch the mortal world.

But what is the cost of doing this?

To be honest, Jiang Zhou couldn't think of it at the moment.

And this means more danger.

Nature is not an excellent designer. More often than not, it is just a monkey typing randomly on a typewriter, and it just happened to type out a complete set of "The Complete Works of Shakespeare."

Life is not only countless intertwined probabilistic miracles, but also an ancestral shit mountain that has been iterated for 3.8 billion years. You never know what unintended and irreversible consequences you may have if you change a line of genetic code, even with good intentions.

After all, this is a change of the subject, not a trivial matter such as the transformation of the living environment.

The technologies that Jiangzhou has supported in the past, whether it is brain-computer interface, consciousness uploading or prosthetic body implantation. None of them has caused pollution to the human gene pool. It can be said that the most fundamental foundation of human beings has been preserved here. Even if we make mistakes on the road to technological leaps, the resilience of life over billions of years of evolution can at least give humans a chance to start over.

But technology like biological protein chips...unless you have god-like vision and can see through billions of years of evolutionary history of living things. Otherwise, the final result will inevitably be uncontrollable.

So the question now is - as a super artificial intelligence, does Janus really have god-like vision?

Jiang Zhou had been thinking about this issue until he entered the deep diving subcang.

"Before diving, I would like to say a few final words... Damn, why am I talking in this tone now..."

In the numbingly cold submersible, Christie's voice echoed in the ears of every team member on this dive mission.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhou also stopped thinking and began to listen carefully to the other party's mobilization for diving.

"Remember, this is not a mission to save the world, and the reward is not high enough to make you risk your life... It's just an outsourcing project for Pluto Deep Dive. Just deal with it. There’s no need to risk your life.”

Um?

Jiang Zhou was stunned for a moment by the straightforward "mobilization" that came out of his mouth.

Although he had known for a long time that this dive mission was forcibly arranged by Pluto Deep Diving, Christie most likely had no interest in it and only regarded it as a task to deal with the board of directors, but such a straightforward statement still caught him completely.

"Everyone, keep in mind that the New Abyss Prison Studio has just been established, and it is now the time to hire people. Therefore, your lives are far more important than this mission. Especially several of you special talents, if it were not for the contract Demand, I will not agree to this deep dive salvage mission no matter what..."

Christie continued.

To Jiang Zhou, this was more of a complaint than a mobilization.

Obviously, helping the company crack the production technology of "Pegasus" is one of the conditions for Christie to be able to establish an independent studio.

"Ms. Christie... this is too humanitarian."

At this time, Fanny suddenly sighed in the teammate channel.

Having grown up in the company, she has never seen a similar manager - usually, the employees who carry out diving and salvage operations are often purely consumable positioners.

"It's just that, who can't say it..."

But in this regard, Qianxia Ying on the side said with some disdain:

"When we dive to depth 3, if we encounter any dangerous situation, we have no way to safely surface."

Fanny said nothing about this accusation. Jiang Zhou, who heard something from the other party's previous words, also chose to remain silent.

"...In short, I wish you all a safe return."

Christie's mobilization work ended in this uncreative way. As the humanoid projection she projected disappeared with her hand, the entire deep dive chamber fell into darkness, leaving only the sound of more than twenty chambers operating at full power.

Including Jiang Zhou, the consciousness of everyone lying in the sub-cang instantly fell into chaos.

They fell into the abyss together.

…………

In the hangar not far from the deep submersible warehouse, Christie's body, a dark, large structure that looked like the product of a dragon's mating with a warship, was lying on the ground like a real dragon.

Around her, several technicians holding data boards were directing the drones to help her clean the stains in the dead corners of the body.

Suddenly, her "eyes" that had been tightly closed lit up.

[I just guessed that you would come and get involved, Minos]

She opened her eyes to "observe" what was in front of her, and then said this.

[Could it be that the fact that 'Theseus' doesn't want to connect with you makes you so worried? 】

Christie then asked.

Minos, one of the directors of Pluto Deep Diving Company; he is also the only member of the board of directors who has not exceeded the limits of human intelligence.

As the adjuster of the "Theseus" path, after simultaneously connecting a large number of mental models and gaining a broader perspective, even without taking the most critical step, it is enough to become a senior executive of Olympus Enterprises.

"There's no need to call me 'Minos' in a sarcastic way, Christie. You can just call me by my real name like you always have."

A technician who was working near Christie's head suddenly put down the data pad in his hand. He looked up at the dragon's head, and then said this in a calm tone that shouldn't belong to him at all.

"laugh--"

A stream of steam used to dissipate heat leaked from Christie's chin, as if she had just sneered disdainfully.

[No need, I won’t say those names from the past anymore. Those people I am familiar with have long since died, but their corpses have been built into the existences that now use myths to disguise themselves]

She said so.

"Really... That's such a shame. You have to know that after gaining a broader perspective, those memories of the time when we were still humans can be said to be a rare comfort in life."

The technician whose body was temporarily taken away by "Minos" said this.

[Broad vision... I don’t know if Aeacus’s broad vision allowed him to see the great future of being exiled into the abyss]

Christie mocked this.

The other party didn't speak anymore.

[So I ask again, why did you do anything during this dive? Do you want to take revenge on Hecate by getting rid of ‘Theseus’, or even the ‘paradox’ behind her?]

Seeing this, Christie asked again.

"Revenge? This is just like our past name, a word that only exists in memories... Without revenge, Christie, we would not act for such boring motives."

Minos answered.

It sounds nice, but I still don’t dare to...

Christie thought to herself, and then she continued to ask:

[Then what was the reason for you to temporarily adjust the parameters of the deep dive interface before? 】

"An experiment, and an attempt."

To this Minos gave a short reply.

Then, without waiting for the other party to ask further questions, he continued:

"The path of Theseus originated from Janus' gift to the First Deep One. Therefore, unless I absorb the mental model of the First Deep One, I will never be able to stably break through the limits of human intelligence."

【so what? Where are you going to get the mental model of the First Deep One? Oh...I found it, is this it? 】

After speaking, Christie forwarded a message to the other party.

The title of the message is "Don't say much, the letter will come in!" 》, and after clicking it...

[Hello, I am Jiang Zhou, the first deep diver. In fact, I did not die in the big impact. I have an army of conscious AI in the Abyss Dark Web, but I now need 1,000 Ores to pay for the use of the deep dive interface. You can transfer it to me through your Golden Apple account or the Feishou platform. The account number is my contact number! After turning around, I will remove the Styx Firewall and unify the base reality tomorrow, allowing you to break through the limits of human intelligence and directly take over Olympus Enterprises! The liar will kill the whole family! 】

The legend that the mental model of the First Deep Diver still exists, and that the First Deep Diver is actually still alive, can be said to be widely circulated throughout the World Wide Web. Even in the early years, there were many people who used this name to cheat money. Of course, nowadays, most of the people who forward it like this are netizens.

But even though Minos was ridiculed by Christie, the expression on his face remained calm.

"Hahaha, so funny..."

He laughed dryly twice first, and then continued:

"But the mental model of the First Deep Diver does exist. Janus saved the 'seed' of his birth. And the Bacchus Order has a copy in their hands. This is even if they don't have α-level deep dives in their hands." The interface can also become the reason why Olympus Enterprises... The so-called 'human god' they worship really gave them the key to the new world...

"As for the 'paradox' you mentioned. The reason why he was awakened to crush the 'Dionysian Bureau', I guess it was because of Liao Qi's awakening of the mental model of the first deep diver for some unknown reason. . It's a pity that you didn't tell us this information at the beginning, otherwise..."

After speaking, Minos sighed and continued:

"But fortunately...according to the intelligence, there is a high probability that a copy of the mental model of the First Deep Diver is stored in the place where they are going to dive.

"Now, do you understand why I did something?"
