Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train Chapter 570 - 295: Heavenly Mushroom Tower (Part 3)

"Who created you, does your appearance have a prototype?"

Lin Xian asked Grace.

"I don’t have information in this regard, unable to answer your question. If you find my holographic image inappropriate, your permissions allow you to command to alter the display image or cancel the holographic display."

"Then what about the total number of people in this underground research facility? You must at least know who they are or what their plan is, right?"

"Sorry." Grace’s joints continuously resisted Lin Xian’s chanical control, "I cannot inform you of related information. My duty is solely to guard the Hive Center and the Deep Red mbers."

Lin Xian looked at her and asked, "What if this place is gone?"

"As the offline version of Deep Red Number 3 Intelligent Brain, my quantum volu is 8192, which is equivalent to (2^{13}) computing power. However, I have never conducted ’human-in-the-loop’ learning, and my ability to judge human emotions, lies, sensitivity, and ga theory is limited. I assess that you seem intending to take as a trophy, ha, ha."

Lin Xian was sowhat perplexed: "So, how do you plan to deal with ?"

Grace’s chanical eyes concentrated on Lin Xian: "From your entry into the Deep Red Pharmaceutical Building, I have taken the following asures against you, including but not limited to: unlocking all available access controls, releasing laboratory cages, electrically stimulating the atrium’s giant fungi, the Zero Elent Center’s Defense System. None of these succeeded. Based on my assessnt, my actions to both protect the Zero Elent Center and simultaneously clear out intruders have resulted in a success rate infinitely lower than 1%. Your attempt to take away will be considered a violation of my fundantal protocol to protect the Zero Elent Center and Deep Red mbers; I will resist. If the Zero Elent Center and Deep Red mbers are destroyed, thus rendering my duty void, I will enter a dormant state awaiting recovery processing."

"Good grief, so it was all your doing." Lin Xian’s gaze coldly swept over Grace, feeling sowhat at a loss at that mont.

This Intelligent Brain butler’s quantum computing Intelligent Brain cannot be scanned and controlled by Lin Xian. After much contemplation, it seed his only option was to see if he could have Kiki perform a system rewrite and then carry it onboard; such powerful computing power could completely help him solve most of his problems on the train, and it also possesses quite formidable combat capabilities. This kind of good stuff interests him more than other resources.

"Lin Xian."

At this mont, Ding Junyi’s voice suddenly ca through: "Co over and take a look."

Lin Xian walked over upon hearing this, only to see Ding Junyi operating a computer in the monitoring center. She quickly retrieved massive information after connecting directly with the Black Hawk Battle Armor’s interface.

"Look." Ding Junyi pointed at the screen, which displayed personal information inside each survival pod and their current status signs.

"About 60% of these people are already in a state of brain death, but because their bodies are still undergoing external cardiopulmonary blood oxygen circulation, they maintain body temperature and tabolism."

"Brain death?" Lin Xian asked in confusion, "Is that the state after uploading consciousness she ntioned?"

"I don’t know if consciousness has been uploaded, but their brain tissues have undergone protein denaturation."

Ding Junyi’s tone was calm, habitually trying to put her hands in her pockets, but since she was wearing the Night Battle Armor, her hands slid twice around her waist without responding, so she simply put her hands into Lin Xian’s pockets.

"What is protein denaturation?" Lin Xian asked.

Ding Junyi looked at him, "It’s like the brain being cooked."

Lin Xian: "..."

"The human brain is akin to a precise biological processor. The more intense the computation, the more it overheats. Rember when we were in that hall and got hallucinated? The faster the brain processes, the more realistic the rendered scene appears, making you feel ti passing quickly." Ding Junyi explained, "Two hours is enough to overload the brains and spiritual power of several Frenzy Level Superpower Users to the point of pain, as you can imagine."

Lin Xian’s gaze turned towards the beehive pit under the glass curtain wall: "So these people want to enter a dormant dreamscape using the properties of the fungal threads, but in reality, they might have burned out their brains?"

Ding Junyi shrugged, speaking with deep aning: "If the brain maintains a tenfold intensity computation pleasure over five seconds, you’ll be very happy. But if it persists for five minutes..."

Lin Xian couldn’t help but frown upon hearing this. Ding Junyi’s description gave him an inexplicable chill down his spine.

Imdiately, he looked back at Grace: "Is this the safety you’re responsible for? All these people have died."

Grace’s expression remained calm as she replied in a chanical female voice: "I have already said that my view on death is sowhat different. Consciousness is the core of life; any bodily form is rely a carrier. The human brain, as a consciousness carrier, cannot perform higher computational power tasks. Changing carriers is essentially no different from switching quantum computer hardware. My duty is to protect the physical safety of Deep Red mbers. As for their consciousness core within the Star Abyss Fungal Network, it is not within my supervision, and strictly speaking, it belongs to the invaders."

"Ah?" Lin Xian was montarily confused by these words: "You’re saying that as long as the physical bodies of these people lying here are still alive, that’s enough?"

"You can understand it that way. I was programd with this protocol."

Ding Junyi pulled her hands from Lin Xian’s pocket and spoke in a deep voice:

"I understand her point. Logically speaking, there is no problem."

She looked at Lin Xian: "The so-called consciousness-uploaded Digital Life is essentially a copy, not a resurrection. This realm, which is heavily contested by ethical debates within our biological field, has strict regulations on any Digital Life research."
