Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

[Jade: We'd have no idea then.]

[Jade: To this day, we still do not know why this savior embarked on the path of salvation.]

The discussion came to an abrupt end when Heita handed Jiang Jiu a miniature version of the Heita doll.

The surging curiosity turned into a strong gossip mentality and envy, jealousy and hatred.

When a miniature version of the black tower was placed in Jiang Jiu's hand, Jiang Jiu was stunned for a moment.

"...?"

He subconsciously held the small black tower up to his eyes and blinked: "Huh? Why did you find me one?"

The little black tower stood in his palm, arms crossed, and waved its hand in dissatisfaction, signaling him to move a little further away.

"What, is it not enough for this genius to stay with you?"

As we all know, there are many large black towers, and countless small black tower dolls. Most of these things have their own uses, but of course, most of them exist simply to make it easier for the large black tower to travel around without moving.

So, in a sense...

They are all Black Towers.

The large black tower leaned against the experimental table, directing the mini version of the small black tower to find a spot on Jiang Jiu's body.

She first climbed into Jiang Jiu's shirt pocket, stayed there for a while and then felt uncomfortable. Then she sat on his head and felt something was off, so she finally decided to sit on Jiang Jiu's shoulders.

The Great Black Tower looked at the location and nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, it's nothing. Don't call me if there's nothing else."

Jiang Jiu turned her head slightly, and could only see a small patch of dark purple clothing and a few strands of beautiful, miniature hair hanging down.

"Uh... so, is this some kind of new surveillance equipment, or a mobile communication terminal?"

"Think what you want."

The little black tower on my shoulder adjusted its posture, and its voice came through clearly. Because we were sitting so close, it sounded like it was speaking right next to my ear.

Her tone was exactly the same as the Great Black Tower's, with a hint of impatience.

"Anyway, I want to see for myself how you plan to ensure safety. I can also collect some data while I'm at it. I've always been interested in that Star Core brat named Xing."

The Great Black Tower itself had already lowered its head again to fiddle with the instruments on the table, completely unconcerned about what it had just sent out: "Alright, stop standing here, go and come back soon, don't cause me any trouble."

【...】

[Star: !!! Mini version of the Black Tower figure!!!]

[Star: Oh no, I'm really jealous of this, I want it too.]

[Estella: I...me too...]

[Star: Mom, I want one too.]

[Estella: ?]

[Black Tower: ?]

[Star: Since I obediently helped you test the simulated universe, can I also have a mini version of the Black Tower figurine?]

[Black Tower: Get lost.]

[Star: Okay!]

Estella looked at the comments on the screen and weakly added a question mark.

[Estella: ...?]

Watching a Movie (40) - Elio was right about one more thing

Anyway.

The little black tower doll that Xing couldn't get, Jiang Jiu obtained easily.

Xing was very indignant.

[Star: Why?! I refuse to accept this!]

[Fireworks: Actually, it's quite simple to figure out.]

[Fireworks: All you need to do is become a savior, die a few dozen times, and then gain the favor of Lady Black Tower. Isn't that easy? Come and die!]

Xing thought about it seriously for two seconds.

[Star: Is the job guaranteed?]

March 7th: Suspended.

Xing was greatly disappointed.

Rather than having a small black tower doll that she could communicate with at any time, she chose to save her own life.

In the scene, Jiang Jiu and Hei Ta communicate briefly before heading to their next destination.

Along the way, I chatted with Screw Gumu about the follow-up to the Immortal Ship.

[Silver Wolf: I feel like he'll work himself to death sooner or later like this. Isn't he working non-stop?]

[Hanabi: No, he'll come back to life after he dies. He dies and comes back to life, comes back to life and dies again, dies and comes back to life again, comes back to life and dies again. Isn't that his normal routine?]

Silver Wolf: ...What you said makes so much sense, I can't even refute it.

[Hanabi: Right~ So we can just watch and relax~]

Silver Wolf didn't reply. She stared at the figure leaning back in the chair on the screen, looking at those eyes that were clearly tired but still clear, and felt that Fireworks's amusement wasn't so funny.

[Qingque: My Lord, won't he suddenly die like this?]

[Fu Xuan: With his strength, probably not.]

[Qingque: Probably?]

[Fu Xuan: I've never died, how would I know?]

Qingque was lying on the table, and just looking at her made him look tired.

She didn't want to go to work; she just wanted to slack off. But seeing that person working non-stop, she suddenly felt uneasy even slacking off.

[Su Chang: He's so busy... He fought his way from the Immortal Ship to the Scale Abyss Realm, then went to pick up Lady Black Tower after leaving the Scale Abyss Realm, then went to find Screw Gumu, and after finding Screw Gumu... and then...]

[Su Chang: I just finished dealing with the Immortal Ship matter, and I almost died. I just woke up and here I am again.]

[Gui Naifen: If I were Ms. Black Tower, I would already be angry!]

[Su Chang: That's right, that's right.]

In the video, Jiang Jiu and Luo Sigumu had already talked about everything from the Immortal Ship to the End.

"Lord Shi Jin." Receiving no response from Jiang Jiu, Screw Gum greeted him politely and continued, "I hope that if you have any special plans next time... I mean, regarding the end, you can inform me in advance."

"Note: This is my personal request in the name of Lord Screw Star."

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and calmly made his request: "Then I would appreciate it if you could help me research the technology of reproducing living beings using a certain amount of data memory."

"Data memory, reproducing life forms?" ScrewGumm pondered for a moment, then asked, "Question: Is it similar to an omnic?"

"not quite."

Jiang Jiu considered his expression for a moment: "Intelligent machines are essentially mechanical creations that operate based on pre-set logic and programs, although I am not sure what the conditions are for them to have self-awareness."

He paused for two seconds and looked at the image of Screw Gum.

"I apologize, I hope I have not offended you, Lord Screw King."

Screw Gum shook his head: "No, most of the intelligent machines on Screw Planet have possessed a certain degree of self-awareness since their birth, but it is undeniable that we still cannot fully understand human emotions."

Jiang Jiu had heard a little about this, and he remembered that Screw Gum's topic was related to this.

"So, getting back to the main point, what I want is not mechanical creations based on programs, but something that focuses more on recording and reproduction. Hmm... the research direction could lean towards the memes of the Flowing Light Memory Garden."

ScrewGumm thought for a moment and asked, "Is it a life form that has passed away?"

"No, it is a virtual planet constructed using the Emperor's Scepter as its power source. It has sufficient kinetic energy and the theory of life exists, but it has never been born."

ScrewGumm performed a high-speed calculation and deduction, and after thinking it over, asked: "Definition: The goal of this technology is to create a data-state 'life replica,' which, theoretically, can exhibit characteristics and behavioral patterns highly consistent with, or even completely identical to, the original life form after obtaining a suitable carrier and energy support?"

"Although they are different, you can understand it this way."

Jiang Jiu shrugged: "I don't need you to fully implement it, Screw Gum. I just need a feasible theoretical framework, technical verification of some key nodes, and... a basic protocol that can securely transmit this kind of thing."

"I'll take care of the rest myself."

He spoke calmly, without any arrogance, only with a clear understanding of his own abilities that brought him confidence.

This explanation left half of the people present completely bewildered.

[March 7th: Huh? I don't understand. What does "data-state life copy" mean? What does "data-reproduced life form" mean?]

[Star: I didn't understand either.]

[March 7th: Didn't you understand why you nodded?]

[Star: He nodded because ScrewGumm understood.]

March 7th: Hesitating.

[Screw Gum: Logically, Lord Shi Jin's concept is fundamentally different from the memes of the Flowing Light Memory Court.]

[Screw Gum: The memes of Yiting are essentially existing life forms.]

[ScrewGumm: And his goal is to construct a complete and verifiable life model that has never existed before.]

[ScrewGumm: This is not about resurrecting the dead, but rather, at the data level, reproducing a life data that never existed as a real life.]

[Black Swan: ...Life that never existed? Isn't that what fictional historians do?]

[Screw Gumm: No, the fictional historian is distorting already recorded history, and he wants to recreate things that didn't exist.]

[Screw Gum: The former interferes with memory, the latter creates.]

[Black Swan: ...What's the difference between this and resurrection?]

[Screwgoom: Resurrection is the reconstruction of consciousness on a dead body, while he writes existence in a void devoid of things.]

[Screwgoom: To be precise, what he's doing is creating life forms.]
