In Night City, I was picked up by a female V

Moreover.

She and V broke up about this.

It's impossible no matter how you think about it.

......

After spending a day at the Wild Wolf Bar with a clear conscience, the two returned to the Beehive Building in the evening.

Bai Rui resisted the temptation and politely declined V's suggestion to go back to bed and play with their phones together. He returned to the basement and started his own work.

How can a real man indulge in love affairs?

How can I care about my family if the company is not destroyed?

Brothers, be men, type the word "inspirational" on the public screen!

The "Soul Killer" program.

This program that Bai Rui had been dreaming about for a long time and regarded as the key to the transformation of new humans has finally come into his hands.

Isn't this just breaking it apart and licking every string clean?

Bai Rui actually did so.

After a few days of work, with the help of the instruction manual provided by Arasaka Corporation, Bai Rui roughly understood the principles of the "Soul Killer" program.

Oh, that's what happened.

The transfer of human consciousness lies in the reading and reproduction of brain structure.

The unprecedented "Soul Killer" program constructed by Johnny's girlfriend Otto is such a creation.

This program will violently read the consciousness operating structure in the human brain through a reading and transcription device like a headband, and reproduce it as a cyber program.

But there is a problem.

After all, humans are not creatures that live in cyberspace. If consciousness is forcibly activated in the cyber world, the original personality will gradually break apart and become another creature.

That is AI.

Therefore, Johnny's consciousness was dormant and stored in the "Shinko" database only after being harvested.

Arasaka Corporation's solution to this defect is not to activate human consciousness directly in cyberspace, but to revive it in another body through a relic chip.

But experiments have shown that this approach is also difficult to implement.

The consciousness activated in a strange body can only remain normal for the first few months, after which it will gradually collapse, or merge with the consciousness of the body's original owner, becoming indistinguishable from each other.

The human brain is fragile, and it now appears that human consciousness is even more fragile than the brain itself.

Helplessly, after several control experiments, Arasaka Corporation could only come up with an alternative solution.

That is, the physical body that acts as the carrier of consciousness is replaced by a close relative of consciousness.

Because they have a similar living environment, the consciousness in the relic can successfully erase the remaining consciousness of the predecessor and occupy the body with almost no side effects.

This is Saburo Arasaka's final plan.

That is, using the body of his son Arasaka Yorinobu as a container to carry his own consciousness and achieve his own immortality.

A crazy, but scientifically proven plan.

This is Saburo Arasaka's strongest denial of the law of biological death as a living being.

Even as an enemy, Bai Rui had to admire Sanlang's firm will.

Chapter 327 He is indifferent to the accusations of the world, because the crimes will be settled

This old Deng is quite cruel.

After expressing his feelings about Saburo Arasaka, Bai Rui was faced with a new problem.

This is a very tricky problem.

It goes to the heart of her plan.

That is, if a person's consciousness is uploaded and transcribed into data, is this string of data still the original person?

This problem is probably really serious.

Because in the post-transcriptional theory, if the brain is not destroyed, the original person is still alive.

This means that the transcribed virtual personality is just a copy of the original one.

Shet.

This is a bit troublesome.

What Bai Rui wants is mechanical ascension, not ruling over a group of replicas of human consciousness.

At that time, how will this group of "new humans" view their original physical selves who are still alive and well and have their own thoughts and consciousness?

It seems that the Soul Killer does not quite meet his needs.

If you want to use this thing for your own benefit, you need to make major modifications.

"I told you that your conjecture won't work. The project team was troubled by this before I left Arasaka. Even you, I don't think you can overcome the flaws of the program itself."

Anders pushed up his glasses and criticized mercilessly.

To study the "Soul Killer", how could we not invite Anders, the former engineering director of the Relic project, to come over?

However, what this guy said was similar to the results Bai Rui obtained from his own exploration.

In essence, the "Soul Killer" is just the creation of another person, not the transformation of the original body.

Bai Rui couldn't help but think of Johnny.

This guy really thinks he is Johnny. I wonder what would happen if he knew he was just a copy.

If it were to be more dramatic, the original Johnny Silverhand was not dead at all, and it would be fun to see the two meet.

Although the problem is so difficult.

What he got was completely different from what Bai Rui had expected.

But she won't give up.

Life is a series of problems. The more you solve, the stronger you become.

"You said that the cells in the human body are actually renewed every day, and new cells constantly replace the old cells that die. The brain is no exception. So, doesn't it mean that after a dozen years, a person is a completely new person?"

The words were confusing, but Anders still understood Bai Rui's thoughts.

"That's true if you insist."

"The number of brain cells that die in the human brain can reach 100,000 every day, but such an exaggerated number is insignificant when considering the brain as a whole."

"The impact of this kind of cell renewal is not as great as the changes to your brain system if you see a can when you go out now."

People who graduate from professional schools are easy to talk to.

No matter how bizarre your guess is, the other party can give you an explanation.

As Anders spoke, Bai Rui's thoughts became clearer.

"What if the 'Soul Killer' can transform humans at the same rate as human cell renewal? In this way, by slowly changing brain cells, humans will gradually change their way of existence, and this will not change their original self-identity."

"Ultimately, this is just a new cell replacement."

"Your statement is very interesting."

Anders nodded in affirmation first, but then his words denied Bai Rui's statement.

"But we have tried the same method before. The Soul Killer's transcription of consciousness is based on violent reading, which is difficult to achieve."

“Most importantly, this gradual transformation has no material support and cannot reach an intermediate state where reality and the Internet coexist.”

Despite being rejected, Bai Rui was not discouraged. Instead, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Just because something cannot be solved with real materials, there may be other solutions.

She now had a new material to try.

"You mean, 'reactive metals'?"

Being stared at by Bai Rui, Anders also reacted. He stopped stroking his chin and his eyes gradually widened.

"Wait, active metals have proven their ability to usurp and change human cells when in ionic form. However, these changes are uncontrollable, which is why people mutate into the monster-like forms described in the data."

"If we can drive the composition sequence of specific active metals and achieve orderly replacement of brain cells... Damn, maybe it will work!"

Anders was shocked.

That's it!

Bai Rui thought excitedly.

She knew more than Anders. Active metals were actually the form of matter in cyberspace under the rules of the real world.

If these metals can be used as nutrients for brain cells, the body's naturally proliferating cells can be transformed into new brain cells containing active metals.

Wouldn't that prepare the material conditions for humans to break through the shackles of reality and cyberspace?

Human beings have not changed, only the way they are composed has changed.

People absorb nutrients from food and then promote their own cell proliferation, and Bai Rui simply added new substances to humans on this basis.

Just like meat itself will not be attracted by a magnet, but if you put a magnet in the meat, the meat will be attracted by the magnet.

Putting this at a micro level, this is what Bai Rui wants to do.

She finally found the key to the new world.

What we need to do next is just the specific experiments.

Of course, there are many things to be solved, such as where to find active metals and how to program active metals. These are all troublesome, but at least now Bai Rui has found the direction.

......

"From now on, I will be responsible for the connection with the Hive. If you need anything, please report to me."

In the luxurious floating car, sitting opposite Bai Rui was the wooden-faced Naoko.

"Of course, of course, there will be many more things to bother you about in the future."

Bai Rui's grand plan has taken shape, and now she is going to use the second-level query authority of the Arasaka Corporation's scientific and technological archives given to her by Lai Xuan.

However, these were all agreed upon at the beginning.

And now, this Naoko inexplicably pulled her aside, saying that Arasaka Yorinobu had prepared a gift for the Hive.

Mysterious.

It can’t be the Hongmen Banquet.

With a wink, Bai Rui tried to take a closer look at Naoko's face, which was so cold that it seemed as if the expression was only designed for the first time.

Of course, apart from finding out that this Arasaka girl is really pretty, there is nothing else to gain.

Bai Rui simply leaned back on the luxurious sofa in the hovercraft and took a sip of the champagne that automatically rose in front of the armrest.

Lying on the sofa, holding a glass of wine, looking down at Night City through the glass.

For a moment, my heart was filled with excitement, and I felt that the Night City on the ground was within my grasp.

Is this the daily scene of the big shots?

Tsk.

“It’s really extravagant.”

Bai Rui sighed.

Same scenery, but different thoughts.

I wonder if the big shots will feel contempt for the ant-sized pedestrians on the ground and the towering buildings.

But at least Bai Rui thought that once her plan was accomplished, no one would be able to escape, including those riding the hovercraft.
