Chapter 71 Reincarnation

The eighth floor of the Tower of Babel is a dimly lit space. There are less than twenty rooms on the floor. The interior space of the room is very large, but almost all are filled with machinery. Machines of different sizes leave only a treatment bed at the door. Almost as soon as people enter the door, they will lie on the treatment bed.

More than a dozen robotic arms hang down from the top of the room. There are various surgical tools installed on the top of the robot, which looks creepy. However, according to the shadow chasers' understanding of the world and Wei's introduction, similar treatment beds are all in this shape. They are not particularly terrifying in the mechanical camp, but they will feel terrifying, but because they are rare and strange.

Maximilan did not lead the shadow chasingers to watch in the reincarnation room. It is said that although the reincarnation ceremony does not require a sterile environment, it must be kept dust-free. The shadow chasingers who do not wear special work clothes cannot enter. However, he still brought the shadow chasingers to a small room with several light screens on the wall showing the images in the reincarnation room.

Within a few minutes, the first group of pilgrims were taken to the healing bed in the reincarnation room. Soon, these people fell into a coma. According to Massimilan, this was the last time the pilgrims slept. When they woke up again, they either successfully reincarnated as mechanical bodies, or lost part of their consciousness, becoming defective bodies with incomplete consciousness, and even didn't know who they were.

"The next picture will be a bit bloody. Are you sure you want to continue watching?" Massimilan glanced at Delia and asked Seul, "The basic process is to open the skull, take out the chip that carries the memory, and upload consciousness to the artificial thinking system. The process of uploading thinking and deriveing ​​memory is mainly carried out in an electronic network. Just looking, you can only see the craniotomy process and the process of taking out the chip, and you can't see any substantial things."

"I actually have a question." Xiuer asked with a frown, "The so-called memory chip should be used to carry memories. In this case, why do people in the floating city re-introduce memories when they recover from the Life Archives after the accidental death, and do not hesitate to forget everything that has happened in recent years?"

"Because people died."

"Hmm?" Shuer asked in confusion, "What does it mean?"

"The human beings who can recover from the life archives are abnormal deaths. They have experienced the pain of death, and their consciousness also think that they are dead. If they are not allowed to completely forget the fact that they have died, even if they are replaced and reawakened, they will die again at the moment of being awakened. This is the instinctive reaction of the body. There is no way to change it, so they can only cover the backup memory once, so that the consciousness forgets the fact that they are dead. In fact, there are solutions, such as backing up once a day, so that even if they die, they will lose the memory of the day. Unfortunately, with current technology, every time they back up memory, it has a great impact on the memory chip. A new memory chip, if you do more than 20 times, it will be damaged. Therefore, the above habits are usually done once every three to five years, so that the chip will be damaged before the lifespan is over."

"Well, since the backup memory is so damaged, why not just erase the memory of this period from the chip? This is much more convenient than backing up memory."

"The existing technology cannot be done. The overall coverage is simple, but it will be many times more difficult to selectively delete and modify memory." Maximilan shook her head and said, "The chance of directly causing chip damage is extremely high. No one dares to do this, not even our machinery."

"What happens if it is damaged?" Shuer asked, "Will you lose your memory?"

"It's not that simple. The application of this technology has been popularized many years ago. It has been nearly a thousand years. Every child will install memory chips as soon as he is born. It was originally intended to assist memory and enhance learning ability, but it has only been applied to the resurrection field in recent decades. Relying on memory chips for a long time has led to some functions of the human brain being replaced by memory chips. If the memory chip is damaged, the brain will lose its thinking ability and become a pure idiot."

"Huh? Can't you change it to a new one?" Moria asked curiously, "or try to repair it?"

"I'm sorry, it can't be replaced. The brain is a very unique organ. The memory chip it can recognize is unique. Other chips cannot recognize at all, and other people's memories cannot be imported into this chip."

"Ha, interesting," Shuer raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully, "It's like a soul can only adapt to one body?"

Several shadow-seekers looked at each other, which was very interesting. The results of Pavatiga's life science research show that the soul is the soul, and memory is memory. The body stores memory, and the soul and the body complete the thinking activities together are completely different. Generally, there is no phenomenon that the memory is eliminated and the ability to think is lost. However, in this world, the two are entangled, either the two worlds are different, or there is something hidden secret in this technology.

"Wei."

"Your Excellency Commander, it's strange." Wei's volume was very low, making sure that only Xiuer could hear it himself. "There is indeed a technology for chip manufacturing in the data, but there is no research on any scalability, and there is no data for basic research, just like this technology came out of thin air."

"Ha, I understand." It seems that there is still a secret behind this, but Shuer is not going to ask questions. After all, this has nothing to do with the purpose of the shadow chasers. Shuer is no longer obsessed with the memory chip issue, but instead looks at the bloody scene on the light screen with interest, and of course, he also blindfolded Delia's eyes.

The surgery speed of the treatment bed was very fast. In a short time, the skull of the pilgrim was sawed open, and the brain under the skull was exposed to the air. In the middle of the slightly beating brain, a prism-shaped crystal as big as a thumb seemed to have merged with the brain. Many blood vessels extended from the brain were covered with vigilance surfaces, making the two inseparable.

At the same time, there were no pilgrims on the other light screen. There was only a spherical metal body the size of a human head was fixed on the operating table. It should be the head of a mechanical body, but it had not been finely processed and could not see its appearance.

On the display screen in the room where the metal body is located, various data are swept upwards quickly. The fast speed cannot even see the dynamic strength of the shadow chasing players. After staring at it for a while, I feel dizzy and finally have to give up.

"This is a very complicated process. I don't really understand the content of the data." Maximilan stared at the light screen nervously and said, "His reincarnation process has been very smooth so far. It is a good start. I hope that all these pilgrims can reincarnate successfully. They can add more than 20 companions at a time. It has not appeared for many years."

“Where is the easy problem?”

"It's now." Maximilan said without looking back. "The process of uploading thinking is the easiest thing to have problems, followed by the introduction of memory chips."

"Didn't you try to strengthen this research and increase the success rate?" Shuer asked intently, "Including humans, if it were us, we would definitely study the breakthrough technology of memory chips, which is equivalent to extending their lifespan, but they didn't do that, hehe, it's a strange thing."

"No wonder, neither of us can study it because all related technologies have been sealed by the Supreme Master Brain. He said that the technology in this regard will not help our current situation, but will drag us down. Although we don't know the reason, the Supreme Master Brain will not make any mistakes, so everyone is willing to obey the orders of the Supreme Master Brain and no one will touch related research. As for humans, the technologies they left behind are all screened by the Supreme Master Brain. Without basic research, if they want to make a breakthrough, they can only start from scratch."

"No wonder." Xiuer narrowed his eyes as if he was smiling. Although he didn't say a word, his brain was spinning rapidly.

In the screen of the light screen, the robotic arm finally successfully peeled off the prism crystal from the brain and quickly transferred it to the room next to the wall where the metal sphere was placed. The metal in the skull part of the metal sphere bounced upwards, revealing the dense wires and circuits inside, and there was also a slot obviously reserved for inserting the prism crystal. The robotic arm inserted the prism into the slot accurately, and the human head-shaped sphere was re-enclosed, and an electric current began to flash in the position of the visual collector.

"Huh?" Shuer was stunned and looked at Maximilan beside him and asked, "You also use memory chips to store memory? I thought it was using special mechanical equipment."

"It is not impossible to simply use electronic equipment to store memory, but the success rate is surprisingly low and it is too impractical. Directly using memory chips is the most convenient and safest way. Maybe in the future, after the Supreme Master Brain lifts the technical ban, it will develop to that point, but now it can only be done for the time being." Maximilan said helplessly, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, it is nothing wrong with using memory chips. Its shell is very strong and not easy to destroy from the outside. In this way, even if our bodies are destroyed, we can still recycle the chips and replace the body, and will not lose memory or damage the chips like humans. In a sense, we are immortal."

"But, what you just mentioned is not importing the memories in the memory chip into your system?"

"No, on the contrary, because its production is aimed at the human body, it is necessary to import and modify the program inside it, adjust its settings, so that it can work normally even if it is separated from the human body. It is precisely because it needs to be modified that it is easy to cause damage and become a broken body."

"I understand." Xiuer said softly, and began to knock on his thigh and fell into a state of out-of-sight. No one knew what he was thinking, but everyone knew that whenever he entered this state, it meant that he had to make a decision.

The eyes of the metal head had already lit up, and communication texts began to appear on the screen, which meant that the reincarnation of the first pilgrim was successfully completed. However, Shuer had lost interest in this. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly asked: "Your centers said that you want to sit down and talk to us. This is fine, but I want to know what your purpose is."

"It just so happens that this is what the centers want to know." Maximilan's visual collector finally moved away from the screen and turned to Seul's face, "What do you want?"
