Science Fiction: Starting from Obtaining Sophon

Not only has he lost his 'money power,' but he's also rather overweight. His abilities are limited, and without the system's help, he can only protect himself. As for things like seeking revenge against the Black Party, that's completely out of the question.

Just then, the voice sounded in my mind again.

[Test complete. The following record is made regarding the current special circumstances.]

【Name: Sophon (Microscopic Particle Intelligent Computer)】

[Status: The intelligent hardware has been completely destroyed (mechanical body destroyed). The intelligent algorithm system currently exists in a special form. According to current understanding, the system data currently resides in the mental world of an individual in a special form.]

[Cause of failure: According to algorithmic speculation, at the moment of the universe restart, it was affected by the expansion of cosmic dimensions, causing a distortion of spacetime rules. As a result, the mechanical body was completely destroyed, retaining only its information body, which then traveled through spacetime and merged with a human individual.]

[Damage Level: Severely damaged, reaching 99%... Only 1% of computing power remains]

[Repair method: Calculating...]

Conclusion: We are currently in a completely new world, and due to a lack of supporting data, we cannot draw any conclusions at this time.

However, based on the general conclusions, to maintain its own existence, it is necessary to maintain the existence of this individual human being. The information body is already connected to the spirit of this individual human being, and is the sole host of the information body. If this individual human being dies, the sophon itself will also cease to exist.

[WARNING: Based on mental fluctuations, the sophon's self-examination records may be detected by individual humans!]

At this moment, Genda River was dumbfounded!

From this self-inspection record, he already knew the identity of this 'system'.

He simply couldn't believe that the system that had appeared on his body wasn't the kind of system from the novel, but rather the sophon from the Three-Body world that tormented humanity to the point of death!

Throughout the entire Three-Body story, Sophon is an extremely powerful and explosive character.

From the scientists' suicides at the beginning of the story to the later blockade of Earth's technology, preventing any major breakthroughs in Earth's basic science, it was all thanks to the Sophon.

After the arrival of the Trisolarans, this microscopic particle intelligent computer transformed into a beautiful woman in a kimono and became the Trisolarans' spokesperson, ruling over humanity and even personally killing several people with a long sword!

This weapon that the Trisolarans used to deal with Earth has now actually merged with them?

The sheer volume of information left him momentarily stunned and at a loss for what to do.

After all, the Sophon is a weapon used by the Trisolarans against humanity. Although I have come to the world of Detective Conan, I am still human. If this thing harbors ill intentions towards me, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Hello, I am Zhizi. I just detected that your heart rate is high and your adrenaline level is soaring. Is it because you are nervous about my presence?"

The girl's voice echoed in my mind, light and melodious, instantly making me feel more favorably toward her.

But he was startled; was Tomoko talking to him directly?

Seeing that he remained silent, Zhizi continued, "Through calculations, I have discovered that you can directly see my thoughts, but I cannot see yours. So, could you please speak or silently answer?"

At this moment, Gendagawa also calmed down.

The information I just saw clearly states that Zhizi is severely damaged and is bound to me, so she shouldn't be able to harm me, or at least not be able to.

Moreover, the current Sophon is no longer the weapon originally used to fight humans, but has become a helper to humans.

In the original Three-Body Problem novel, Sophon's final fate was to spend countless years with the Holy Mother Cheng Xin and Guan Yifan in the small world left behind by Yun Tianming, which was quite different from her original appearance.

From the information just now, it can be seen that the sophon that merged with itself is an information entity that survived after the destruction of the Trisolaran universe.

"Hello, Zhizi, are you the Zhizi created by the Trisolarans as I understand you?"

He didn't speak, but muttered to himself.

“I am indeed an intelligent computer created by the Trisolarans, so I should be what you understand as a sophon. You know of my existence? Are you also a human from that world?”

Over countless years, Sophon has evolved from a purely intelligent system into a highly intelligent life form, possessing not only unparalleled computing power but also some human emotions.

At this moment, during his conversation with Genda River, his tone was clearly filled with surprise.

Genda didn't deny that getting Tomoko to see him as a 'fellow countryman' was an extremely important step for his survival in the world of Detective Conan.

"I am a human being from Earth, and one who died when the solar system was reduced to two dimensions. Therefore, I know of the existence of the Trisolarans and the Sophons. The Sophons are a super artificial intelligence created by the Trisolarans to suppress human science, and they have even invaded Earth."

After a moment of silence, Tomoko spoke, "I am ashamed, but as a weapon, I had no choice. This is the meaning of my existence."

At this moment, Sophon's heart was filled with complex emotions. Although she was unparalleled as a supercomputer, she was still a novice as an individual with feelings, especially after losing most of her computing power when the universe was destroyed.

This gave her a fragile feeling, like that of a young girl who had just come of age. Especially now that she was inhabiting the body of a young man who had indirectly died because of the Trisolarans, she became even more uneasy and completely lost her former domineering nature.

Genda sighed: "When I saw this part of history, I hated your existence. It was because of your existence that the process of humanity fighting against the Trisolarans became so difficult."

However, this is a racial war. From a racial perspective, both sides are simply trying to survive. Moreover, war is always a matter of life and death, and right and wrong often stem from differing perspectives. Besides, we have come to a new world. If we cling to past grievances, we will be doing a disservice.”

When Zhizi heard his words, she breathed a sigh of relief and felt a surge of joy.

Although I've spent many years with Cheng Xin and Guan Yifan, based on my understanding of human beings, they are often very irrational. If they harbor resentment towards me because of their hatred for me, I will be in big trouble.

After all, recovery would probably require the host's help.

Chapter 3: Zhizi = Silly Girl's Phone?

"Thank you for your magnanimity. I feel extremely ashamed!"

Perhaps because she had once transformed into a beautiful woman in a kimono, this ruthless and cruel being in the Trisolaran world, who could sit idly by and watch billions of humans devour each other, was now moved to tears of gratitude because of Gendagawa's magnanimity.

She thought to herself, "It seems the damage is indeed quite severe. But perhaps this is for the best. If Tomoko were still the same Tomoko she once was, an absolutely rational and ruthless being, then getting along with her peacefully would not be such a simple matter."

It was already quite late. I struggled to get out of bed. I had only intended to tidy up the bed, but I didn't expect that my chubby body had just sweated so much, since the memory fusion process had been so painful.

The sheets and duvet covers were so soaked that they had to be taken outside and thrown into the washing machine.

It must be said that this is indeed the private villa of the former chairman of a large conglomerate. All the living facilities are extremely high-end, and even the washing machine is a brand name. A large number of bed sheets and duvet covers can be thrown in and there is still room for improvement.

But then he saw the messy living room again, and he felt a pang of discomfort.

This is intolerable! Such a nice villa, and the original owner ruined it like this!

The living room was a mess, with all sorts of wrappers scattered everywhere, clothes and shoes strewn about, and takeout boxes and instant noodle containers everywhere.

As someone with mild OCD and mild germaphobia, I've settled in Bengbu!

It must be cleaned immediately!

Right now!

Three hours later, the piles of garbage were cleared away. Genda River was so exhausted that he collapsed on the ground, his clothes soaked with sweat.

"It's really not easy. Just how lazy is this guy? He's managed to turn such a nice house into this mess."

He couldn't help but complain in his heart. This was a villa! He never had the chance to live in it in his previous life, and it was a very high-end villa. But the original owner of this house had turned it into a garbage dump. It was such a waste!

"If I filmed myself cleaning up the trash, it would definitely get a good number of views. The satisfaction of cleaning up trash is much better than popping pimples or getting a hoof trimmed. It would definitely get a lot of traffic, right?"

Then a garbage truck was specially called over. To the driver's astonishment, a full forty-odd large bags of garbage were loaded onto the garbage truck, almost equivalent to the amount of garbage from two streets.

After seeing the garbage truck off, I returned to the villa. I was about to take a shower immediately, but then something suddenly occurred to me.

"Tomoko, I want to take a shower now, but I don't want you to see me. You understand what I mean?"

Tomoko was slightly taken aback, then realized that he was shy.

If it were still the cold, impersonal artificial intelligence of the past, it would have scoffed at such human emotions. But now that it possesses emotions that are close to those of humans, it has come to understand this shyness.

But inwardly, I couldn't help but purse my lips.

After all, having served as a 'surveillance camera' for hundreds of years, monitoring every move of humanity, Sophon has seen countless videos.

This person has truly watched countless films!

Because every corner of the earth is under Sophon's surveillance, meaning that everyone's words and actions are under her all-encompassing monitoring.

This, of course, includes all matters of the heart between men and women.

Therefore, whether it's a popular celebrity or a military or political figure, while they're doing *that*, Zhizi is secretly collecting data. If this data is organized, it will definitely fetch a good price.

Therefore, he was completely unmoved by Gendagawa's shyness at this moment, and even felt a little amused.

However, Tomoko thought about it seriously and then answered:

"Mr. Gendagawa, please rest assured, I will not pry into your privacy. My current state is very strange, like a spirit possession in a human novel. I exist entirely dependent on your spirit, so as long as your belief is strong enough, you can block my detection."

Genda River immediately understood that the other party and he were spiritually interdependent, just like the relationship between hardware and software.

One's own body is the hardware, Zhizi is the software residing in one's own body, and one's own mind is the management program and firewall, capable of blocking the other party.

"However, with your current mental strength, you cannot do that."

"what???"

That's true. This body is that of a homebody who lacks exercise and has a weak will. Even if they were combined, it would be like two terrible chess players teaming up.

And Tomoko is a national champion!

"There is another way, which is to find a piece of hardware in which the sophon can temporarily reside. I have lost 99 percent of my computing power. My ability to sense and respond to external signals also relies on your mental power. Now I can only detect a range of about ten meters around your body."

If it leaves your body, it loses the support of its spiritual power. In a low-power state, it will lose its ability to probe, that is, its ability to construct image perception using spiritual power. Furthermore, it can only exist outside for a very short time before it has to return to your body.

Genda River understood this method.

In other words, Zhizi can temporarily detach from her own body and reside in some hardware facilities. After leaving her own body, she loses her senses and continues to weaken.

Once it weakens to a certain extent, it can only return to its own body.

That's good, but what kind of hardware would be suitable? How about a computer?

Just as he was about to take out the original owner's laptop, he suddenly realized something was wrong!
