Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 777 Data That Shouldn't Exist

"148799 hours ago." The military AI of the central control computer replied.

If this time is converted, it is about 16 years...nearly 17 years ago, it happened to be the time when the "Special Operations Fleet" crashed here and the "Shaojiang Kai" frigate crashed.

There has been no online update database for nearly 17 years. How did you identify the biometric data of Ke Lan, who joined the undead crew less than a year ago?

"Then why, there is my biometric data in your database?" Ke Lan asked bluntly.

"According to the records, since the day this AI was born, these data have been stored in the database." The military AI replied.

The date of the birth of military AI... It should be not long after the completion of the "Shaojiang Kai" frigate, and the time when the central control computer was just turned on.After all, the delivery of a completed warship requires the warship to fly to the delivery location by itself. Without the central control computer and this AI, the warship would not be able to fly at all.

That is to say, my biometric data has been implanted into the database of the central control computer of the "Shaojiang Kai" from the very beginning.

And the "Shaojiang Kai" frigate... No, it should be the No. 16 ship of the "Shaojiang-class" frigate at that time. The date of manufacture of this warship...

Although Ke Lan only glanced at the text on the file about the date of manufacture of the "Shaojiang-class" frigate No. With the cooperation of Steel Flag Heavy Industry, the construction started in June 16 and was completed in December 915.After that, it was transferred to Tester No. 6 base to install weapons and equipment.

New Era 917...Even if Ke Lan is not a "symbiont", even if the childhood memories in his mind are real, he has not yet been born at this time... So what is in the database of this battleship? What about the biometric data of a person not yet born?
And...it is still a data with the authority level of members of the Undead Crew Club.

Could it be that at that time, the "Symbiont" project had already entered the formal stage... But even so, it is impossible for members of the Undead Crew Club to enter the data of the "Symbiont" into it, otherwise, it would be impossible for the members of the Undead Crew Club to enter the data. A "prophet" with the same authority will deal a heavier blow to the Ark.

Taking a step back, even if every symbiote that can survive for a long time is a predetermined future member of the crew, the corresponding data should be entered into the database after confirming that the symbiote can really survive for a long time. Otherwise, there will be serious chaos in the control center of the ark.

Perhaps the "Prophet" used to have the same level of authority as the members of the crew... As for why he didn't use this authority, it was probably because the crew had already deleted his authority before he knew about it.

Although this argument makes sense for the "Prophet", when it comes to Ke Lan, the timing is completely out of line.

Unless, the symbionts all use the same genetic code, and each symbiont is like a twin brother... But Ke Lan has seen the true face of the "prophet", and the other party is quite different from himself in appearance, biological Identification data is even more unlikely to be the same.

Ke Lan checked the information of the "Prophet" before he defected in the archives of the Undead Crew, and he can confirm that he has not changed his appearance with the help of the power of Alpha civilization... Among other things, the blood type between the two is not enough. I'm sorry: the prophet's blood type is type 0, and Ke Lan's blood type is AB.

This at least proves that the genetic codes of each symbiont are very different... It is conceivable that if Ke Lan was the person in charge of the symbiont project of the undead crew, he would not be able to keep the same batch of symbionts. Human cloning as an experimental body...

wait? !Clone? !

A somewhat bold guess flashed in Ke Lan's mind, making him freeze in place as if struck by lightning.

The biometric data of the members of the Undead Crew Club are recorded in the central control computer database of the "Shaojiang Kai".
Then I have the same biometric data as this member of the Undead Crew Club, so I will be recognized by the "Shaojiang Kai" that has not updated the database for nearly 17 years, which makes perfect sense!

If he was really a clone of a member of the Undead Crew, which one would it be?

Ke Lan recalled the virtual projections of the crew members he had seen at the meeting...but soon he found that it was meaningless to do so. These virtual projections were not necessarily their real appearances, and some of them even He also set the appearance of his remote-controlled bionic man as a virtual projection image of the participants.

Only by seeing their bodies lying in the "coffin of eternal life" can they be sure of their true appearance.

But why didn't that member transform himself into a "symbiont", but in the form of a human clone... Is it because he is worried about his own safety, or is there other restrictions?
But in any case, Ke Lan can at least be sure of one thing: he was able to join the Undead Crew Club not because he had completed the assessment of the crew club, nor was it entirely because of his special ability.

Being able to join the Undead Crew Club, I'm afraid this is already a pre-determined thing.

Even if I don't do anything, I stay at home as an abandoned house that only chases fans and plays games all day long, and lives on subsistence allowances and relief funds. At a certain moment, people from the Undead Crew Club will still come to my door.

(Here, let me explain about the relief mechanism of Ark: Ark has a complete welfare system. All Ark residents with legal status, even if they do not participate in any work, can receive daily rations sufficient to maintain the most basic life activities. Although The taste of this kind of ration is not to be praised, but at least it will not starve to death.

As for those who are forced to participate in high-risk jobs, such as miners and mercenaries, some of them are unable to bear the completely low-desire life of "eating and waiting to die", and some have more unavoidable reasons : I or my family have a serious illness that cannot be treated with free medicines, I owe debts that cannot be repaid due to gambling or other things, I want my offspring to get a better education and live a better life, etc...

People like Ke Lan, who can eat enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry, as long as they don’t get sick, get married, or have children, and keep a low-desire life, they can actually live on food relief until they die. )
Ke Lan smelled a conspiracy.

Think about it in another way, assuming that you are the "primarch" who provided the genes, can you accept your clone to join the Undead Crew and become an equal member of yourself?

Obviously not.

Let’s not discuss the issues of human rights and ethics here. For the Undead Crew, human cloning was created as a tool and weapon from the very beginning.For a tool or weapon, having self-awareness is already a very dangerous thing, and it must be strictly controlled to ensure that the tool or weapon always obeys the orders from "people".

There are several methods of control. The low-level ones directly set up a deadly "back door" in the cloned human body, and use life-threatening controls to control them; the advanced ones rely on implanting preset memories or brainwashing to make the clones Man becomes a pawn completely loyal to the crew.

The former is simple and rude, but it is easy to cause resistance and riots. Once the cloned people can give up their own lives and pursue free personality and independent will, this control method will completely fail.The latter is more difficult and the effect is more natural, but it also hides a flaw that cannot be ignored: If the clone finds that his memories are all false one day, what will he do?
No one could have predicted this outcome... it was the most destabilizing factor of all.

Both the "Prophet" and Ke Lan knew the "part of the truth". The former resolutely decided to betray the Undead Crew and escape from the Ark, while Ke Lan chose to "cooperate" with the Undead Crew.

They even decided to let Ke Lan join the Undead Crew Club. Now it seems that the high probability is to appease Ke Lan's emotions and make Ke Lan feel "trusted", so that the two sides can stand on the same front and share common goals and interests. Benefit.

This may be a lesson they learned from the defection of the "Prophet".

But is Ke Lan really regarded as "one of their own" by them?
Obviously not.

In the final analysis, he is always a "symbiont", a clone, a manufactured "tool" or "weapon".

The members of the Undead Crew Club can delete all the permission information of the "Prophet", and they can also delete Ke Lan's... The reason why he can still stay in the crew club and live in this world is only because he has the right to Still valuable for members of the crew.

That's it.

When the value of oneself is squeezed out one day, it may usher in the end of life.

There is an old saying in China in the old era, which is called "For those who are not of my race, their hearts must be different."

No matter from which angle you look at it, Ke Lan and the other undead crew members are not the same kind of people, and it can even be said that they are not the same "species". In the eyes of the members, they are "heterogeneous".

For example, suppose one day you see a person who is exactly like you. His appearance, height, weight, and even personality are very similar to yours, but the only difference is that he has the blood of a monster in his body. He has everything you don’t have. Special abilities - would you like this person and befriend him?
For the vast majority of people, I'm afraid they won't... They will be jealous, or even afraid of such a person.

They don't see it as a "person" like themselves, but only as a "monster".

The vast majority of people are not saints, the vast majority of people are ordinary people.

There will be a dark side in the hearts of ordinary people, and this dark side can be anything that is not recognized by the normal society... Many people may only have "such a thought" throughout their lives, and never pay for it any practical action.

But it is undeniable that this dark side will always exist... It may be forgotten, but it will not disappear.

Only you know what the dark side of your heart is, and when a "duplicate body" that is exactly like yourself stands in front of you, you will only feel the discomfort of being cut from head to toe... just because You know what the other person is thinking, and that's why you feel intimidated.

Assuming that the other party has more powerful power than you, then this fear will be magnified ten times and a hundred times.

From this point of view, at least the guesswork can be reduced by nearly half.

Ke Lan's "primarch" must have voted against his decision to join the Undead Crew.

But it doesn't really matter whose clone you are, what's important is... What is the purpose of the undead crew creating themselves?
If it is to interpret the literature left over from the Alpha civilization, then it is enough to use those "one-time symbionts" that can only survive for a short time. It is safe and convenient, and you don't have to worry about things going beyond your control. "Use and throw away" , It is simply a perfect "tool", so why bother to create something like "Prophet" and yourself?

A prophet has almost wiped out the Ark and the human race. If there are more, I am afraid that the human race will be removed from the universe before the undead crew can completely digest the legacy of the Alpha civilization.
Don't the undead crew members worry about their betrayal at all?Or do they have other backers?
Ke Lan fell into deep thought and didn't say a word. On the contrary, Mo Jue, who was standing aside, couldn't hold his breath. He stepped forward and asked the AI ​​of "Shaojiang Reform": "What happened to the special operations fleet? What happened? What happened to this warship in the past ten years since it crashed?"

"The corresponding permission level of your identity data has not been detected, so I cannot answer your question." After a scanning laser swept over Mo Jue, the military AI replied.At the same time, several automatic defense cannons protruded from the dark slots on the top of the bridge, and the red dots of several laser-assisted sights locked on her body.

"Unlock." Ke Lan waved his hand, and the next second, these automatic defense machine guns were retracted, "Answer her questions."

"This question involves the combat records of the 'Special Operations Fleet' mission No. [-] and the ship's regular record data. Part of the data in these two records has been damaged and cannot be repaired. Do you need to read it?" The military AI replied.

Sure enough, some data was still damaged... Ke Lan sighed inwardly, and said, "Call out the undamaged part."

"Special Operations Fleet, No. 016 Ship, 'Shaojiang Kai' Frigate, No. SX-16, No. [-] Ren..." AI read, and put the text image on the virtual screen - I have to say, Mo Jue proposed The content of these two questions is still too broad. This combat record actually started when the No.[-] ship of the "Shaojiang class" was transformed into the "Shaojiang Kai"...

The text size exceeds a G for the lengthy makeover list alone.

Ke Lan could only choose to fast forward.
