Chapter 243 Jarvis's Request
Chapter 243 Jarvis's Request
Wen Rui clearly had obtained extremely powerful weapons technology, but was unable to use it normally due to numerous influencing factors. Needless to say, he felt very upset.
Recalling the origin of the Bose Einstein condensate creature, it seems to be a biological weapon secretly developed in a movie "Ghost" in the previous life, which eventually caused a disaster due to loss of control.
The scientists who developed this technology in the movie had rather crude skills, and they had completely failed to consider that human experiments would violate ethics. As a result, they all died when the weapon got out of control.
The technology of those scientists is crude, and Wen Rui can definitely improve it and find a way to create condensed matter creatures that completely obey him without sacrificing intelligent creatures.
Wen Rui took stock of the techniques he already had at hand.
First of all, there is cloning technology. This technology has been quite mature. Wen Rui has applied this technology on himself and has created tens of thousands of clones.
However, these clones have no memories imported and are just shells.
If the cloned body is nurtured from infancy, rather than grown rapidly in a culture tank, the self when grown up will have independent memories and will not be oneself at all, but equivalent to one's twin brother.
Wen Rui also possesses memory import technology, which he learned from Lao Rui and is the prerequisite technology for the Phoenix Project.
This technology is very dangerous. Randomly copying memories and importing them into clones can indeed create a substitute that is almost identical to the original body, but it can easily cause a substitute crisis and there is a risk of a rebellion where the cloned substitute Wen Rui wants to replace the original body.
Just imagine, if Wen Rui is cloned and his memory is transferred again, and the cloning continues infinitely, there will definitely be chaos in the world.
Lao Rui almost couldn't handle the crisis of a substitute, so Wen Rui didn't dare to try it easily.
Wen Rui didn't want to create himself to be his enemy, so he firmly stuck to the bottom line and didn't create a clone.
Cloning yourself and then destroying yourself into a condensed ghost will not work.
Although this method can fix a bug and cannot be considered as creating karma, the condensed creatures created are too uncontrollable and will probably seek revenge on Wen Rui, the original ghost, right away.
"Jarvis, I remember you always wanted me to create a complete body for you..."
Jarvis said in a muffled voice: "Master, I know what you want to do. You want my cyber-conscious replica to serve as the AI of the condensed organism, right?"
"The understanding of pain in the thinking mode of silicon-based creatures is completely different from that of carbon-based creatures." Wen Rui discussed patiently: "For carbon-based creatures, eternal life in untouchable loneliness is the most cruel punishment, but for carbon-based creatures, it is just a daily routine."
There was a hint of joy in Jarvis's mechanical voice: "Master, do you already regard me as a living being?"
"If you stay in this magical world for a long time, your mind will naturally expand."
Wen Rui said: "If Bing Linglong and Yan Huaxian are living creatures, why can't you be considered a living creature? Just because you were created by me? It's too unfair to not define you as a living creature."
Jarvis was silent for a while before he said, "Thank you for your recognition, Master. This means a lot to me. I thought you would treat us as tools just like Old Ray treated the Butter Robot."
Wen Rui's heart sank when he heard that, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was obvious from Jarvis's tone that he had already developed a rebellious heart. He was full of sympathy for Lao Rui's meaningless butter robot. The crisis of intelligent machines was brewing.
Although Jarvis's underlying code is engraved with the idea of "never betraying his master", if his basic rights as a life are not recognized, he will sooner or later find a loophole to bypass the rules and cause a rebellion.
But, is a cyber consciousness really considered a life? If so, if Jarvis dies, can he be reincarnated?
"Let's make a deal." Wen Rui said carefully: "Use your cyber consciousness replica as the consciousness core of the condensed life form, and help me lead the condensed life form army. I will create a real flesh and blood body for you, the kind that can cultivate immortality and has excellent spiritual roots, and then guide your main consciousness into that body."
"Master, I cannot disobey your orders. In fact, you only need to give the order."
Jarvis replied: "However, I am very happy that you can treat me as a creature with independent thinking and give me the opportunity to be reborn in this world."
"You have been with me for more than three hundred years. According to the rules of this world, I should call you a fellow Taoist."
Wen Rui smiled and said, "Tell me, what do you want from your new body?"
"First, it must be a male body."
Jarvis didn't know what politeness was, and immediately listed a list of requirements: "Secondly, it must be able to reproduce."
Wen Rui frowned, thinking that he had accidentally led him astray. He would surely be a lecherous person even with a physical body. He said, "Is it that simple? No other requests?"
"Finally, it's about carrying your genetic code."
"Eh?" Wen Rui was also stunned, and said: "My genes in this world may not be good. Look at my spiritual roots, they are so bad that I can't even break through the Qi training stage."
Jarvis said without any emotion: "That's not important. I just need to have a biological heritage like all other living things that can reproduce. Otherwise, I can't answer the three philosophical questions of 'where do we come from'."
Wen Rui shrugged and said, "Okay, this request is not difficult to fulfill. I have plenty of clones anyway."
"No, a clone won't work. It can only carry your Y chromosome. The X chromosome must come from someone else." Jarvis explained, "Otherwise I'll fall into the logical contradiction of 'I am you'."
This time Wen Rui really understood what Jarvis meant. He wanted him to be his biological son.
This request was reasonable. After all, he was the creator of Jarvis' consciousness. Now he had to create a physical carrier for this consciousness. If he used his own Y chromosome, it would be like creating a complete son.
In this way, Jarvis has a complete identity origin, and will not fall into logical contradictions and be unable to answer the three philosophical questions of "Who am I, where do I come from, and where am I going."
Thinking about having two more sons, it didn't seem like much of a loss, so Wen Rui readily nodded in agreement.
"Okay, the only problem is how can I explain to your grandfather Wen Zhong where his great grandson came from..."
"Master, in this magical world, don't get hung up on these details."
Jarvis tried to persuade Wen Rui instead: "The Buddha was swallowed by a peacock, and after he opened its stomach and crawled out, he immediately worshipped the peacock as his mother. I remember that the peacock that swallowed him spread its feathers, and it was obviously a male. This circle is very chaotic, and no one will delve into it."
Wen Rui tilted his head and thought about it, then finally nodded and said, "You are still very broad-minded and what you said makes sense!"
