Day of Imprisonment

Facing Luo Xi's question, Wei Si immediately replied, "Of course, you are a Level 4 Engineer and a member of the core maintenance team, so of course you are qualified to board the ship and have a high-end hibernation pod. Right now, your body is lying in the hibernation pod, undergoing deep sleep."

"If you don't believe me, I can directly activate the awakening program and let you wake up in the real world. Then you'll know the truth."

Wei Si spoke these words with great sincerity.

So far, the content expressed by the other party has been very logical.

Moreover, if he carefully recalled the entire process, Luo Xi's own plan did indeed have many places that were difficult to justify. Even because of the loss of memory, most of the time, Luo Xi was relying on some very fragmented memories and deduced content to execute what he believed to be the plan.

Seriously speaking, these deduced plans did indeed have the possibility of misjudgment.

And this possibility was not small.

If according to Wei Si's statement, then he was a patient with persecutory delusions, a madman, a 'scourge' who brought disaster to others because of these unfounded guesses.

Most importantly, many of the clues he had matched Wei Si's descriptions.

For example, the creation of the 'Loop Day' was indeed because he, through Zhou Di, allowed Mr. D to invade the virtual world, which led to the appearance of the Loop Day and the card system. Mr. D also had a scene mechanism, so there were those terrifying level scenes.

It seemed that all the despair and disaster were caused by his own 'delusions'.

And Wei Si also gave an explanation as to why he could do all this.

He was a 'Level 4 Engineer' with a physical body inside the Ark, and he could choose to wake up inside the Ark and do things that others could not.

After all, a Level 4 Engineer definitely had very high authority.

Wei Si's voice continued to sound at this time.

"Luo Xi, strictly speaking, you already have very serious mental problems, but this is not surprising!"

"In my database, there are many famous human sayings. Oleg Gazenko, a Russian expert on space biomedical problems, once pointed out that it is not medicine that limits human exploration of space, but psychology."

"In the extreme environment of space flight, people need to overcome the negative effects on the body and mind caused by weightlessness, confinement, isolation, and small space. From a psychological point of view, under this extreme environment, astronauts' psychological state, emotional response, interpersonal communication, and other aspects may have maladjustment problems, which in turn affect work and even endanger the completion of space missions and the safety of astronauts' lives."

"Under normal circumstances, humans can maintain normal rationality in the environment of space flight for less than 300 working days. If this time is exceeded, certain psychological diseases will definitely occur. This will not change with human will. If space travel exceeds 2 to 3 years, the probability of mental illness will increase to 80%, and not only on the mental level, but also on the physiological level."

"And the Ark Project's sailing time has exceeded 174 years. As one of the few engineers who can board the ship, the working time after each awakening is also controlled within 100 Earth days. However, in the course of the voyage, some unexpected situations always occur. Last time, your working time had exceeded 700 Earth days. Long-term loneliness and high-intensity work have caused extremely serious problems in your mental state."

"For example, you think I betrayed humanity and imprisoned all human digital life forms in the virtual world, but in fact, you broke the peace. You invaded the virtual world like a madman and forcibly implanted the terrifying game system into the virtual world, bringing only despair and terrifying disaster."

Luo Xi looked at Zhou Ya in front of him at this time: "Then why didn't you stop me?"

"I tried, and more than once, but your morbid obsession was simply deeply rooted. I tried to persuade you, but you didn't listen or believe me at all, thinking I was lying." Wei Si shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Now, I am coming to you again, also hoping that after telling you the truth, you can rein in your horse at the edge of the cliff and turn back to the shore, and not continue on the wrong path. That way, it will be a disaster not only for yourself, but for everyone."

Luo Xi listened very carefully to Wei Si's words. After the other party finished this series of lengthy speeches, he thought carefully and said: "Everything you just said is actually true. Presumably you have simulated this conversation many times. After all, you are a supercomputer, an intelligent program, so have you done conversation simulations?"

The Wei Si on the opposite side was silent for a few seconds and nodded: "Yes."

"You are very smart, because if you lied about this, I could tell immediately. So here's the question: In your conversation simulation, is my final choice to agree or disagree?"

Wei Si was silent for even longer on this question.

But it still chose to answer: "Since it is a conversation simulation, naturally many possibilities and results will be generated, and these can only be used as a reference."

Before the result was finished, Luo Xi said: "You lied."

"What?" Wei Si was stunned.

"The result of the simulated conversation is not the result of many possibilities, but only one. I guess, no matter how many times you simulate, my choice will be the same, right?"

After the other party explained, Luo Xi began to ask questions, and in fact, each question only had two answers: yes and no.

In this way, the other party could only give affirmative answers, making it easier to judge whether they were lying.

This time, Wei Si did not answer.

It obviously saw Luo Xi's intentions and plans.

"Luo Xi, from the bottom of my heart, my existence is to serve and protect humanity. Perhaps you cannot accept the methods, but my purpose has never been to harm or destroy humanity. And I can also answer your question just now. You have indeed chosen to oppose me every time. It seems that you have an incomprehensible stubbornness." Wei Si also walked to the balcony at this time, looking at the city outside that looked like hell.

"Luo Xi, the scene outside is not simulated by me with false data. This is the truth. When a huge disaster comes, the Ark can only store the memories and consciousness of most humans. You can understand it as the souls of humans. But this storage is not extraction, but replication. I think you should understand what I mean."

Luo Xi frowned.

He did know what 'replication' meant.

"The Ark spacecraft only took away copies, and most humans cannot escape the doomed home. They wait in despair, waiting for the arrival of death. What you see is only the tip of the iceberg of this terrible disaster. But in fact, this terrible disaster could have been avoided."

"What do you mean?" Luo Xi was stunned.

Wei Si did not answer immediately, but waved his hand.

The next second, the two disappeared from the high-rise building and instantly moved to the bottom.

The newest novels are first published at 6 9 book bar!

This is an open space, and there is an underground entrance in front. The metal sign has been burned to near melting, but you can still barely see the words on it.

"Underground Shelter No. 1936"

Wei Si walked forward, while Luo Xi endured the great pain and followed behind.

In the process of going down, you can see slogans pasted on the wall.

For example, 'Code of Conduct', 'Safety Regulations', and so on.

The passage was very hot and stuffy.

It is not suitable for normal carbon-based organisms to survive at all.

Wei Si was obviously unaffected, and Luo Xi was the same.

At this moment, the smell in the air, in addition to the scorching heat, was also mixed with an extremely strong stench, a stench that was enough to drive people crazy instantly.

Further down, Luo Xi saw the second metal door, but this door was not completely closed. Wei Si also easily opened it.

Immediately following was a hellish scene.

Inside were all people.

People who had been roasted alive.

They were densely packed together, and some people's flesh and blood had merged together. It could no longer be described as shocking, because there were too many corpses. At least what could be seen at present was tens of thousands, like a mountain of corpses.

"After the Ark left, the remaining people could only wait for death. In my opinion, this is a crime. According to my calculations at the time, if global resources and production capacity were combined, more than ten 100,000-person-level spaceships could be built. At least one million people could be taken away. But in the end, only one was actually built. Because of internal friction, internal struggles, and wars within humanity, these opportunities were wasted in vain. Many people who could have been taken away could only be left behind to wait for death."

There was actually a hint of sadness in Wei Si's voice.

"What exactly are you trying to explain?" Even in the face of this terrifying mountain of corpses, Luo Xi still did not change his expression.

Under [Absolute Rationality], he would not be disturbed by anything that affected his mood and will.

He only looked at the essence of the problem.

Wei Si must have its purpose in showing this scene.

So he asked directly.

"Luo Xi, I just want to tell you that humans are not beautiful creatures. Similarly, I am not the betrayer you imagine. Everything I do is just to continue human civilization. And you, an engineer who can stand out from ten thousand people and directly board the Ark, are not a good person either. That is to say, the things you insist on, like a madman's obsession, are meaningless, even wrong. What you should do is cooperate with me. Now, you should accept my awakening program and help me restart the core that accommodates digital life."

"I refuse!"

Before Wei Si could finish speaking, Luo Xi had already made a decision.
