Chapter 418 The Sorrow Brought by Technology
Chapter 418 The Sorrow Brought by Technology
As a talented scientist, Dr. Chen Ang has always been a very complicated person.
Although he has always said that he is just providing more options, he does not want to make decisions for others, nor will he try to control the thoughts of the test subjects.
However, among the options he provides, there is always one that maximizes benefits, or one that is helpless.
Under the constraints and pressure of the external environment and the control and drive of their inner desires, the test subjects often have to take a path that is the only one among many options.
Of course, Dr. Chen would also be very happy to see some experimental subjects overcome their instinctive and psychological defects and embark on another path.
This path can be called a sacrifice or a breakthrough. Anyway, he was very happy to have such an unexpected surprise during the experiment.
This is exactly the situation Li Li is facing now. Her body has opened up the genetic limitations, and after a part of her spiritual consciousness has been transformed into digital life, it has begun to tap into the potential of her own body, enabling it to gain powerful strength.
At the same time, this powerful vitality also provides it with a more solid foundation, enabling it to withstand more digital life consciousness information, learn more knowledge from the Internet, and become smarter.
The spirit and the body grow stronger at the same time, just like taking two steps forward and running wildly, and the speed is getting faster and faster.
In this situation, if you trip one of her legs, it is possible that this person who is running wildly will suddenly lose balance, fall, get injured, or even die.
Li Li certainly didn't want to die. She chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building, not because she was tired of living, but because her husband Cobb had tampered with her mind and made her believe that reality was still a dream.
After that, she was locked in a small dark room as a digital life for so long, and had no access to information from the outside world for several years, but she never thought about committing suicide.
Now, she finally escaped from the small dark room, gained a physical body through digital life and came back to this world. She finally lived again, so how could she bear to give up such a short life.
So, when Dr. Ma Zhao softened his heart because of his daughter's call, the dark red data flow that had originally calmed down suddenly caused a bigger storm, like a tsunami, unstoppable, and slammed hard on the data dam formed by the consciousness of Dr. Ma and Dr. Jiang.
At the same time, in the real world, the military and special departments saw that Li Li's condition had stabilized and were arranging people to restrain her.
They even allowed Cobb to bring his two children towards Li Li, trying to use love and family affection to make her emotions more stable.
However, Li Li, who seemed normal, suddenly raised her hand and pushed outward, roaring to the sky.
The stabilization just now did not mean that her condition had really improved, but that she was just gathering strength.
If it explodes at this moment, the power will be truly terrifying.
The powerful mental force pushed outward with herself as the center, and the bricks and stones on the ground were crushed into fragments, which together with the soil formed a huge wave as high as three meters, and hit the outer circle.
Even though these huge waves of earth and rocks and powerful mental power would impact Cobb and her children, and even though the two children were shouting for their mother, Li Li turned a deaf ear to them.
Fortunately, a tall figure suddenly jumped forward and stood in front of Cobb and the two children, using his body and weapons to split the huge waves of earth and rocks in front of him.
However, although Captain Zhang Ying was able to save them, he was unable to save others.
The soldiers who approached Li Li were directly hit by the huge waves of mental power mixed with mud, bricks and stones. Their situation was not much better than that of a mosquito that was slapped.
At least the movie did not show the soldiers' sacrifice, but only a close-up of the blood-stained helmets, showing the tragedy of the scene from the side.
Such a situation naturally eliminates the last possibility of a happy ending.
In the network data consciousness space, facing the dark red waves that were about to destroy the dam, Dr. Ma Zhao finally made up his mind and sighed.
[You are on the periphery]
After sending this message to Dr. Jiang, he began to draw on the vitality of his own body, completely removing restrictions and unscrupulously receiving information and knowledge from the outside world through the secret data channel provided by the military. He absorbed all of it and made great strides towards the result of complete digitalization of life.
This method is certainly effective. After all, the military has already implemented network information control in the area where they are. Even though Li Li is so powerful now, it is only a short-term outburst.
In essence, it is like water without a source and a tree without roots.
In comparison, Dr. Ma, who has the support of external information flow, undoubtedly has more stamina.
At least in the audience's field of vision, the blue data stream representing Dr. Ma was growing rapidly, and soon resisted the impact of Li Li's dark red tide, and took over Dr. Jiang's job, suppressing him by himself, surrounding him and continuing to push inward.
The outside military soldiers also cooperated with Dr. Ma to attack Li Li's body.
Bullets flew and explosions continued on the big screen, fully demonstrating what a blockbuster movie is.
Several snipers aimed at Li Li and shot at her from different angles. The powerful bullets were enough to make a big hole in the elephant's body. Even though Li Li was no longer an ordinary human being at this moment, she did not dare to take the bullet head-on.
In addition, a barrage of machine gun fire rained down on Li Li, and several anti-tank rockets trailed white smoke towards her.
There was no room for holding back in this attack. Even powerful electronic jamming bombs had been delivered. If necessary, they would not hesitate to paralyze half of Hong Kong's network and power systems.
This double blow from both the spiritual and material aspects did temporarily curb the powerful force that Li Li unleashed.
In the data world, Dr. Ma's blue data flow has surrounded Li Li's electronic data consciousness, blocking it from all directions, up and down, left and right, like a big ball wrapping it up.
It can be seen that sometimes a bulge suddenly appears on this blue sphere, but the data information flow from the rear support always gives Dr. Ma enough stamina to eliminate the attack launched by Li Li inside.
At the same time, the barrage of attacks and huge fire explosions from the outside military also prevented Li Li's shock wave from continuing to expand outward. Several pairs of sniper teams' sniper rifles continued to fire, and each armor-piercing bullet with deadly kinetic energy was enough to blow Li Li's body to pieces.
Finally, seemingly because of the exhaustion of energy, or because there were too many attacks and the frequency was too fast, which exceeded Li Li's calculation limit, a sniper bullet finally hit her palm.
Although the power of this bullet was reduced by 70% after being blocked and weakened by layers of rock shields and telekinesis, it still shattered Li Li's palm after hitting her.
Her specially formulated body of flesh and blood also exploded into a ball of sticky blood mist, staining the surrounding rock armor with a touch of bright red.
The opponent is not that powerful, he is still a flesh and blood body. As long as he can be injured and his health bar is bright, even a boss can be defeated. The soldiers and commander who launched the attack were delighted, and more bullets flew towards Li Li.
Of course, the rockets could not be used because the flight trajectories of the rockets just launched had changed due to Li Li's telekinesis. They exploded in places where they should not have exploded, and instead affected the surrounding soldiers.
However, the military commander who was increasing the intensity and density of the attack did not notice that the bleeding from the wound on Li Li's severed palm in the center of the battlefield had not only stopped, but the splattered flesh and blood actually flew back to her hand as if time had turned back, so that her originally injured palm had been roughly restored to its original state in a very short time.
Flesh and blood are reborn! Every cell is alive!
Her body development has reached a further level, enough to affect the level of physical cells, so that she has a rough version of immortality.
Even ordinary injuries are no longer a threat to her.
In the data-conscious world, Dr. Ma's attack on his daughter Li Li is becoming difficult to sustain.
This was not because there was any problem with the external information data flow that provided him with resources, but because his own weak body could no longer support his rapidly growing digital life soul.
In reality at this moment, Dr. Ma's brand new cloned body no longer looks the same as it did a day ago.
The new body, which was at least ten years younger, was now full of white hair and wrinkled skin. There was not a trace of fat or muscle on the body. Only wrinkled skin wrapped around a skinny skeleton, as if the slightest touch would cause this body in the wheelchair to fall apart.
And this is not the worst. After all, this is just a cloned body. Thousands of miles away in Dr. Ma’s home in Magic City, his original body is lying in a life support capsule.
The powerful oppression brought by the digital life soul still affects this body.
The body in the life support capsule also aged by a dozen years. It was thanks to the nutritional supply function of the life support capsule that this decaying body did not suddenly die.
Given this situation, Dr. Ma's body won't be able to hold on for much longer.
But for Dr. Ma, this situation cannot be considered a problem.
Because he had already considered this situation and made up his mind when he uploaded his consciousness into digital life again.
Therefore, the decay and death of the body could not stop Dr. Ma's steps. After overcoming the obstacles caused by his life instincts, he completely squeezed out all the vitality in his two bodies in exchange for further strengthening of his own digital life consciousness.
Without the constraints of his body, Dr. Ma suddenly felt a sense of ease and relief, lingering in his digital life consciousness.
It feels like jumping into the water and flying in the air.
No, it's a hundred times easier than that feeling!
He felt that his consciousness was calculating and thinking at a rapid speed, without any restraint.
Thoughts expand, explore, learn, absorb and think endlessly in the world of network data.
No wonder the expansion of digital life consciousness is so uncontrollable, even if they know they will lose their personal consciousness.
At this moment, Dr. Ma suddenly understood many problems in his previous research, the reasons why they occurred, and how to solve them.
This improvement in thinking ability is somewhat different from his previous state when he transformed into a digital life.
At that time, there was a physical entanglement, just like when flying a kite, no matter how high the kite flies in the sky, there is still a string pulling him.
Now that there is no physical connection, the kite string is broken, and the kite flying in the sky is naturally free, riding on the wind, flying higher and higher, soaring with the wind, free.
However, no matter how high you fly, you will eventually fall to the ground. Without the restraints and ties of the flesh, there will naturally be less physical protection.
Individual data consciousness will eventually be obliterated in the torrent of information, losing its identity and becoming pure digital AI, but this is enough.
Dr. Ma’s blue data stream was tainted with the green light unique to Internet information. Its scale rapidly increased, and its computing power also soared.
Under his integration, the massive amount of information became the body of his electronic life, and launched an attack on the red sphere wrapped by him, which represented Li Li's consciousness data.
The attack from her soul consciousness made Li Li unable to help but wail. She once again resorted to the same old trick, trying to use family affection to interfere with her father's decision.
This time, even though he felt very reluctant, Dr. Ma still did not stop.
There was no hope in the data world, but Li Li did not give up. She tried to control her body in the real world, which had been developed to a higher level, and launched an attack on Dr. Ma's body.
Although Dr. Ma has completely freed himself from the constraints of his physical body, his data and soul have been completely uploaded, and his physical body has died, the digital life card inserted in Dr. Ma's helmet is still an important component of the operation of his consciousness.
As long as the digital life card is destroyed, Dr. Ma's data consciousness in the network will not collapse, but it will be disordered for a period of time. This will at least give her data consciousness a chance to escape the blockade.
So after the father put aside all his concerns and lifted the restrictions, the daughter also did the same thing and no longer suppressed her body's evolutionary instincts.
In this situation, Li Li's condition is also very dangerous.
In order to gain more powerful strength, she removed the restrictions on the evolution of her body. Once this evolution exceeded the critical point of conscious control, her physical subconscious would inevitably take over, replacing humanity with animality and rationality with wildness.
Of course, as long as she can destroy Dr. Ma's digital life card after gaining power and before exceeding the critical point, then there is still a chance to save herself and escape.
Dr. Ma completely blocks and destroys Li Li's data consciousness, and her body will collapse and disintegrate in reality because it is not constrained by huge computing power.
It can be said that both the father and daughter are now racing against time. The blood relatives who should have loved each other are now caught in a life-and-death struggle.
This is a sad thing no matter how you look at it.
In addition to improving people's living standards and eliminating hunger and disease, the development of science and technology has also brought new conflicts, wars and problems.
Perhaps this is why there are so many people in the world who hate it, reject it, and try to eliminate and block it.
