Xingtetsu: Why is the captain on the train?

The two quickly looked in the direction of the star and saw what the star core spirit had discovered.

"Xiao Te?" The captain narrowed his eyes and looked at the armed puppet Tesla One who was picked up by Xing by the armpit.

Yuexia turned to look at the captain, and she seemed to understand, "Xiao Te, is... Dr. Tesla?"

"Ah, probably." The captain reached out and took the Tesla One from Xing. After a quick inspection, the captain breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, the technology has not been innovated too much. At least the external panel is exactly the same as the one on our spaceship."

The captain pressed a hidden button on the back of the armed puppet and placed the armed puppet on the grass.

"Is that all?" Xing looked at the armed puppet in confusion. It looked so powerful that she didn't know what it was. It felt almost exactly like a real person and was nothing like the 'intelligent machine' she knew.

"In Tesla's own words..." The captain turned to look at Xing and laughed, but unfortunately before the captain could finish his words, Xiao Te on the ground suddenly opened his eyes and snatched the captain's lines.

"The more advanced the product, the simpler the operating panel, the better." Tesla slowly stood up on the grass and looked down at his palm, which was less than a normal person's finger length, and sighed softly, "It's back to normal again."

The Star Core Spirit blinked his eyes and asked, "Why?"

"Why?" The armed puppet raised his head and glanced at the Star Core Spirit.

"Shouldn't cutting-edge stuff have a bunch of panels for adjusting parameters?"

"That's not cutting-edge, that's stupid." Xiao Te stood up from the ground, raised his head and glanced at the star core spirit, "This is my body, the body that protects me and maintains my existence. I put a lot of things that can control my life outside, not to mention the existence of bad intentions. If someone adjusts a parameter and damages my body, what should I do?"

"Oh..." The Star Core Spirit nodded, "But there is still a button outside."

"That's the self-test start button." Xiao Te pushed the delicate red-rimmed glasses on his nose that looked like toys. Tesla turned his gaze to the captain with a smile on his face. "I wanted to say this before. Why does this kid seem so stupid?"

The star core spirit curled his lips.

"He's less than one year old, but he's already gifted." Yuexia laughed.

"......" Xiao Te turned his head and looked at the Star Core Spirit, "This guy? One year old?"

The Star Core Spirit nodded vigorously and raised his chin as if proudly.

"Okay, I believe it." Tesla sighed and looked at the captain, "We have all been tricked by Master Boshizun."

The captain nodded, "But those are not important. Finding you is the most important thing for Yuexia and me."

Xiao Te was silent for a while, "Yeah."

"Do you have a way to leave here?" The captain looked at Xiao Te.

Xiao Te was silent for a long time before he spoke, "Guess why I helped that idiot?"

The captain sighed quietly, "As expected."

Yuexia and Xing looked at each other and understood.

"I can't go to the real world." Tesla shook his head gently. "My existence in the data world is very unstable. I can't exist directly in the form of data like Lumpy Head. I must have a 'shell' to hold my 'soul'."

"The shell must also be written with a special 'driver'. At least I can't do it myself. Whether it is the body currently occupied by the iron lump or the body of this armed puppet, they were all made with the help of those simulated star gods."

"Pharmacist, Aha, Klipper, and Boshizun... Without the help of the four of them, I would have died in some data world long ago."

"Are you still using the consciousness segmentation technology?" The captain squatted down, lowered his head, and stared at Tesla.

"I have." Tesla nodded. "I have no choice. After I came to this [world], I mean the real [world] you live in, I must use this method to keep experimenting and stabilize myself, otherwise I may dissipate at any time."

"How can we help you?"

Xiao Te shook his head gently and sat back on the grass. "There is no other way. Without an 'upgrade', I am not even a data life. I can only be considered a 'miracle' made up of a pile of data. This is the original words of Virtual Boshizun, and it is also the truth."

"Without the 'shell' to contain me, I am not even considered a 'life'. In the eyes of most digital life forms, I am just a pile of meaningless data gibberish."

The moon and the stars fell silent.

The captain was the only one who was silent for a while after listening to Tesla's words. Then he said, "If I'm not mistaken."

"Now, Virtual Boshizun is wearing the shell of a normal Tesla, and is planning to upgrade, right?"

"He wants to use a huge data stream to break open the box of the simulated universe. These are his exact words."

"If you were able to use that body before, then from another perspective, can you take that body back?" Tesla was stunned. He crossed his arms and thought for a long time before speaking, "But how?"

"As a data life, computing power and data volume are my strength and health. Compared to Virtual Boshizun, I can never be his opponent."

"......." The captain narrowed his eyes and turned his gaze to the Star Core Spirit, "We need some external assistance."

"For example..." The Star Core Spirit curled his lips and stood up.

"The computing power of a Stellar Difference Engine."

Chapter 190: Simulated Universe, Final Test, Final Game

"Not connected yet?"

"No, I'm blocked here." At the immersion interface of the simulated universe, Black Tower's voice was low, "I can't find any weak points. The worst thing is that I still can't lock the characteristic code of Bo Shi Zun. It seems that he rewrote his own data and didn't even use 'Bo Shi Zun's' data."

"I can act as a direct connection device." Screw Gum, who was sitting on the chair and had a transmission line connected to his body, turned his head and looked at the black tower. "The [breeding] in the project is dying, and a large amount of data is being spewed out and reorganized. If we still have a chance, then it is now."

"Are you sure that your data is directly connected to the Star Differential Engine of Screw Star? If there is any problem with the Star Differential Engine..."

"Conclusion: The Omnics will lose their protection." ScrewGum stared deeply at the Black Tower. "But on the other hand, if we succeed, I can show you that I will never be Rupert III."

"Can an omnic get tired?"

"Black Tower, this is a false proposition. Intelligent machines are also a kind of life."

"I thought you didn't want to do this anymore!" Heita sneered, "The space station that blew up was just my space station! If there's a problem with the Stellar Differential Machine, it wouldn't be surprising if an omnic war broke out! I don't want to add such a big stain to my resume..."

The word "point" had not yet been uttered by Heita.

In the physical access cabin arranged in a Y shape, the access cabin used by Xing suddenly popped open the cable, and the heavy sound of decompression in the cabin interrupted Black Tower's words.

The Star Core Fairy opened the lid of the cabin and looked up. She didn't even have time to be surprised by the strange shape of Screw Gumm.

"Boshizun has changed his characteristic code. He is now using a shell created by the [Virtual Star Gods]. Tesla, Dr. Tesla is the [Virtual Boshizun] we are looking for!"

"you sure?"

"Dr. Tesla said so himself."

"I'm already searching." On the big chair, a brilliant blue light flashed through one of ScrewGum's electronic eyes. "This will take some time."

"Ms. Black Tower, the real Dr. Tesla needs that body."

Heita narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"

"Dr. Tesla's existence is unstable. She needs a shell to hold her 'soul' so that she can escape from the simulated universe."

Heita frowned tightly as he listened to these weird words that seemed to be uttered by an illiterate person with delusions.

The Star Core Spirit also stared at the black tower seriously. "According to Dr. Tesla's explanation, her existence in the data space is a miracle composed of garbled codes. If she lacks a layer of 'shell', she may even dissipate at any time."

"She needs a 'level up'."

Black Tower's brain was electrified, and he quickly understood the essence of the star core in his own way, "Her existence is incompatible with the simulated universe, that should be what it means!"

"perhaps."

"Soul? How is it possible..." Heita turned his head suddenly and lowered his head to operate the data panel, "A soul? A pure soul? Does such a thing really exist?!"

The star core spirit could only remain silent.

She didn't understand either, she just came out to pass on the message.

"Where are they? Tesla? Captain and Yuexia and the others!"

"[Redundancy Zone]."

"No, the redundant area has been locked." Black Tower was silent for a while, gave up the pointless struggle, and turned his gaze to the Star Core Spirit, "Captain, what do they want to do? An upgrade? How to proceed?"

"Simulated universe." The Star Core Spirit hesitated for a moment. "Boshi Zun said personally that through the huge amount of data spewed out by [Breeding] Death, he can break through the box of the simulated universe and go outside the box."

"And Dr. Tesla told me that Boshizun had already abandoned the meaning of the code Boshizun. He completely lived in the 'shell' that was once created for Dr. Tesla. In order to match that body, he even modified his own underlying code and transformed himself."

"Remember the scene we saw in the captain's burning memory? The Master of Knowledge has always been hiding in that normal-sized 'shell', and the real Dr. Tesla is that small, doll-like little man."

"Boshizun tampered with Dr. Tesla's cognition and used it as a consciousness transfer station to allow the real Dr. Tesla to remotely control that body."

"The real owner of that body has always been [Bo Shi Zun]."

"Thanks for explaining this, but I want to know how they're going to do it!"

"Take back that body, and then let Dr. Tesla completely control that body, and usurp the achievements of Master Boshi. That's probably it."

"It won't work." The puppet scratched its head frantically, almost pulling out a few strands of its black hair. "It won't work at all. If the simulated universe explodes, what's outside? Reality? If a USB flash drive explodes, will the characters inside turn into paper and fly out?"

"That's not the case at all!"

"The data world and the real world are not nested at all. If the simulated universe is overwhelmed by a huge amount of data, the only result is that everything in the simulated universe will return to nothingness, and the computing power and energy of the entire space station will explode due to instant overload!"

Xing was stunned. The metaphor of the black tower was so vivid that even she instantly understood how ridiculous the plan of [Virtual·Boshizun] was.

"I don't know what Virtual Boshizun was thinking, but it's obvious that either Tesla's anomaly led him astray, or he had fully understood Tesla's uniqueness and dared to do this."

"At least, for Virtual Bo Zhizun, the so-called upgrading by stacking data is absolutely impossible. We can put a huge amount of data into a drive letter. The quantitative change and accumulation of data are just simple fields! There is no possibility of so-called qualitative change!"

The Star Core Spirit was stunned for a long time, "So, he is targeting Dr. Tesla? What should we do?"

"......." Black Tower was silent, "There is another way, screws."

"I am listening."

"You and Silver Wolf are old rivals. Call her to the space station."

"The ability to edit ether alone is not enough." Screw Gumm instantly understood Black Tower's idea.

"He wants to upgrade! We will upgrade him!" Heita gritted his teeth fiercely, "Dump that shell along with Virtual Boshizun into the battlefield of the etheric front! Then use the power of etheric editing, plus you, to lock him in the real shell!"

"Are you sure? The success rate of this plan is completely unknown."

"This is the only solution that can stop Virtual Boshizun and preserve Tesla, a precious sample. We must do this."

"I understand."

Chapter 191 Simulated Universe·Final Test·Stellar Difference Machine

"We have a mature plan, but the [Redundancy Zone] is locked. We can't contact the captain and his men for cooperation. What should we do?" The Star Core Spirit looked at the black tower, "Can I still get in?"

"Yes, but the [Redundant Area] is locked by Virtual Boshizun, so we need to wait." Black Tower glanced at the Star Core Spirit.

"How long to wait?" The Star Core Spirit was impatient.

"Ms. Xing, don't worry." The gentle voice of Screw Gumm sounded from the side, "The Star Difference Machine is coming online. We just need a little time."

"With that stellar differential machine, we can contact the captain?" The Star Core Spirit turned to look at Screw Gum with anticipation.

"......Haha." ScrewGum couldn't help laughing, "Ms. Xing, you still don't know what a stellar differential machine is, right?"

"Um..., so, what is a stellar differential machine?" The Star Core Spirit wondered.

"It's the result of a series of equations." ScrewGum chuckled and uttered a strange riddle that the Star Core Spirit could not understand at all.

"Result? What result?"

"When the Stellar Difference Engine was first created, its creator attempted to explain the origin of the universe as a cellular automaton and its recursive effects. It is a machine used to explore the nature of life and the universe. Of course, when it was first created, scholars used it to save the Screw Clan."

"I don't understand." The Star Core Spirit always speaks his mind.

"To put it in terms even a monkey can understand, the Astral Difference Engine is a supercomputer that can even create omnics out of purely inorganic matter."

"Um, is it very powerful?" The Star Core Spirit scratched her head. She had no idea what level it was to create an intelligent machine using purely inorganic matter.

Heita sighed helplessly.

And ScrewGum was more patient than Black Tower. Sitting on the chair, his electronic brain was madly calculating the model and inputting data to the mother star. ScrewGum smiled and explained to the star, "If there was no star computer built by Genius Club #1 Xi Zandar in this world, which wanted to solve the problem of everything..."

"Then the Screw Star's Stellar Difference Engine is the culmination of this moment's [intellectual] destiny."

At this moment, the Star Core Spirit was in awe.

"Then as long as the Stellar Differential Machine is online, we can..."

"No, we can't." Black Tower immediately interrupted the Star Core Spirit. "The Star Difference Machine is the umbrella of the intelligent machine family. It must not have any accidents. Therefore, Screw can only use its computing power remotely."

"......." The Star Core Spirit had asked the word 'why' enough today, but she still wanted to ask, "Why?"

Why can't we use a permanent solution to the problem?

"Reason: The Stellar Differential Engine is special. It has no traditional offensive or defensive capabilities, and cannot even detect any data intrusion. It is a basic mechanical structure without any electronic components."

"......" The Star Core Elf understood, but she felt as if she could not understand it at all, "Is this also considered a supercomputer?"
