Chapter 391 The Madman's Stubbornness
Chapter 391 The Madman's Stubbornness
Facing Luo Xi's question, Wei Si immediately answered: "Of course, you are a level 4 engineer and a member of the maintenance core team, so you are of course qualified to board the ship and have an advanced hibernation chamber. Now, your body is lying in the hibernation chamber, in a deep sleep."
"If you don't believe me, I can directly activate the awakening program and let you wake up in the real world. Then you will know the truth."
Wei Si said this very sincerely.
So far, what the other party has said is very logical.
Luo Xi could even tell that what the other party said later when describing the disaster, the Ark Project, digital life, and those authorization documents was all true.
Just as Luo Xi himself said, he can recognize lies.
Just now, Wei Si did not lie.
And if you think back carefully to the whole process, there are indeed many parts in Luo Xi's own plan that are difficult to justify. Even because of the loss of memory, most of the time, Luo Xi was relying on some very fragmented memories and deduced content to execute the plan he thought was going to happen.
Seriously speaking, these derived plans do have the possibility of misjudgment.
And this possibility is not small.
If according to Wei Si's statement, then I am a person suffering from paranoia, a madman, a "scourge" who brings disaster to others because of these unfounded speculations.
The most important thing is that many of the clues he has at hand corroborate Wei Si's description.
For example, the creation of "Loop Day" was indeed because I, through Zhou Di, invaded Mr. D into the virtual world, which led to the emergence of Loop Day and the card system. Mr. D also had a scene mechanism, so there were those terrible level scenes.
It seems that all despair and disasters are caused by one's own "delusion".
Wei Si also gave an explanation as to why he could do all this.
I am a "Level 4 Engineer" with a body in the Ark, and I can choose to wake up in the Ark and do things that no one else can do.
After all, a level 4 engineer must have very high authority.
Wei Si's voice continued to sound at this time.
"Luo Xi, strictly speaking, you already have very serious mental problems, but this is not surprising!"
"In my database, there are many wise sayings from mankind. Oleg Gazenko, a Russian expert on space biomedical issues, once pointed out that it is not medicine but psychology that limits human exploration of space."
"In the extreme environment of space flight, people need to overcome the negative physical and psychological effects of weightlessness, confinement, isolation and cramped space. From a psychological perspective, in such an extreme environment, astronauts may have maladaptive problems in their mental state, emotional response and interpersonal communication, which may affect their work and even endanger the completion of the space mission and the safety of the astronauts' lives."
"Under normal circumstances, humans can maintain normal sanity in a space flight environment for less than 300 working days. If it exceeds this time, some mental illness will definitely occur. This is not subject to human will. If the space flight exceeds 2 to 3 years, the probability of mental illness will increase to %, and not only mental problems, but also physical problems will occur."
"The Ark's voyage lasts for more than 174 years. As one of the few engineers who can board the ship, your working time after each awakening is controlled within 100 Earth days. However, during the voyage, you will always encounter some unexpected situations. Last time, your working time exceeded 700 Earth days. Long-term loneliness and high-intensity work have caused you to have extremely serious mental problems."
"For example, you think I betrayed humanity by imprisoning all digital life forms in the virtual world. But in fact, it was you who broke the peace. You invaded the virtual world like a madman and forcibly implanted the terrible game system into the virtual world, bringing only despair and horrific disasters."
Luo Xi glanced at Zhou Ya in front of him at this time: "Then why didn't you stop me?"
"I've tried, more than once, but your morbid obsession is so deeply rooted. I tried to convince you, but you simply didn't listen and didn't believe me. You thought I was lying." Wei Si shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Now, I come to you again, hoping that after I tell you the truth, you can stop and turn back. Don't continue on the wrong path. If you do, it will be a disaster not only for you, but for everyone else."
Luo Xi listened to Wei Si's words very seriously. After he finished his long speech, he thought about it carefully and said, "Everything you just said was actually true. I guess you have simulated this conversation many times. After all, you are a supercomputer, an intelligent program, so have you ever simulated a conversation?"
Wei Si on the other side was silent for a few seconds, then nodded: "Yes."
"You are very smart, because if you lie about this kind of thing, I can tell immediately. So the question is, in your dialogue simulation, will I ultimately choose to agree or disagree?"
On this question, Wei Si remained silent for even longer.
But it still chose to answer: "Since it is a dialogue simulation, there will naturally be many possibilities and results, and these can only be used as a reference."
Before he could finish, Luo Xi said, "You lied."
"What?" Wei Si was stunned.
"Regarding the outcome of the simulated conversation, there are not many possible outcomes, but only one. I guess, no matter how many times you simulate it, my choice will be the same, right?"
After listening to the other party's explanation, Luo Xi started asking questions, and each question actually had only two answers: yes or no.
In this way, the other party can only give an affirmative answer, which makes it easier to judge whether they are lying. This time, Wei Si did not answer.
It obviously also saw Luo Xi's intention and plan.
"Luo Xi, originally, I exist to serve and protect mankind. Perhaps you cannot accept my methods, but my purpose has never been to harm or destroy mankind. And I can also answer your question just now. You have indeed chosen to go against me every time. It seems that you have an incomprehensible stubbornness." Wei Si also walked to the balcony at this time, looking at the city outside that seemed like hell.
"Luo Xi, the scene outside is not simulated by me using false data. This is the fact. When a great disaster strikes, the Ark can only store most of the human memory and consciousness. You can think of it as the human soul. However, this storage is not extraction, but copying. I think you should understand what I mean."
Luo Xi frowned.
He did know what 'copying' meant.
"The Ark spacecraft took away only replicas, and most humans were unable to escape from their doomed homes. They waited in despair for death to come. What you saw was only the tip of the iceberg of this terrible disaster. But in fact, this terrible disaster could have been avoided."
"What do you mean?" Luo Xi was stunned.
Wei Si did not answer immediately, but waved his hand.
The next second, the two disappeared from the upper floors of the building and moved instantly to the bottom.
This is an open space, and there is an underground entrance in front. The metal sign has been burned almost melted, but the words on it can still be barely seen.
"Underground Shelter No. 1936"
Wei Si walked forward, while Luo Xi followed behind, enduring great pain.
The steel at the entrance had been deformed by the high temperature. Wei Si opened the door easily. Then, as he walked down, he could see the slogans on the wall.
For example, 'Code of Conduct', 'Safety Regulations' etc.
The passage was very hot and stuffy.
It is not suitable for the survival of normal carbon-based organisms at all.
Wei Si was obviously unaffected, and the same was true for Luo Xi.
At this moment, the smell in the air was not only hot, but also mixed with an extremely strong stench, which was enough to drive people crazy in an instant.
Going further down, Luo Xi saw the second metal door, but this door was not completely closed, and Wei Si opened it easily.
What came into view next was a hellish scene.
There are people inside.
The roasted person.
They were so densely packed together that the flesh and blood of some people had already merged together. It was beyond description because the number of corpses was too large. At least what could be seen at present was tens of thousands, like a mountain of corpses.
"After the Ark left, the remaining people could only wait to die. In my opinion, this is a crime. According to my calculations at the time, if the world's resources and production capacity were combined, more than ten ships with a capacity of 100,000 people could be built, and at least one million people could be taken away. But in the end, only one ship was built. Because of internal friction, internal struggles and wars among humans, these opportunities were wasted in vain. Many people who could have been taken away could only stay and wait to die in the end."
There was a hint of sadness in Wei Si's voice.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Even facing this horrifying mountain of corpses, Luo Xi remained calm.
Under [absolute rationality], he will not be disturbed by anything that affects his mood and will.
When he looks at a problem, he only sees the essence.
Wei Si must have had his purpose in showing this scene.
So he asked directly.
"Luo Xi, I just want to tell you that humans are not beautiful creatures. Likewise, I am not the traitor you think I am. Everything I do is just to continue human civilization. And you, an engineer who can stand out from thousands of people and directly sit on the Ark, are not a good person either. In other words, the things you insist on, like the obsession of a madman, are meaningless and even wrong. What you should do is cooperate with me. Now, you should accept my awakening program and help me restart the core that contains digital life."
"I reject!"
Before Wei Si could finish speaking, Luo Xi had already made the decision.
