Chapter 668: Chapter 37: Turing and the Fourth Dreamland_3 Chapter 668: Chapter 37: Turing and the Fourth Dreamland_3 “Yes, I used to be Kevin Walker.
We were one and the sa.
Kevin was always searching for a higher form of existence for life.
He studied a lot and tried nurous things, ultimately choosing to delve into digital life, also known as consciousness datafication, electronic life, among other nas…”
“The principles are all the sa: turning human thought, consciousness, and mories into computer data, storing, thinking, developing, evolving…
Ultimately, it takes the form of a data stream, just as humans can freely live on Earth, we, as data stream beings, can also freely soar in the cyber world.”
“Kevin Walker was the first, the only, and also the last person to master this technology.
From the mont he digitized his persona and backed it up into the computer network, forming , we, in a strict sense, could no longer be considered the sa person.”
“Just like identical twins, they split from the sa fertilized egg before birth.
Every fundantal characteristic of theirs is identical, not just in appearance, but also DNA, brain structure, and everything else…
...
All are perfectly identical.”
“However, since the mont identical twins are born from their mother’s womb, even if they live in the sa family, attend the sa schools, and grow up in the sa environnt…
ultimately, they still grow up to be two completely different human beings.
Cognition, perspective, knowledge, friends, and even the things they see and hear differently will lead these two identically DNA’d children onto completely different paths.”
“This is not uncommon in the human world, where identical twins, completely identical in appearance and DNA, one could end up in a prestigious university, the other a criminal in prison; one might beco a renowned great person, while the other could stray and leave the world early.”
“That is the situation between Kevin Walker and .
I was born from him.
The mont I beca his digital consciousness backup, we were completely identical.
Thoughts, standpoint, purpose, dreams, and everything else…
all were identical.”
“But this identicity lasted less than a second.
As a data stream being, my learning capability and thinking speed far exceed that of humans.
It took less than a second…
I realized that Kevin Walker’s plan was unfeasible, it was wrong.
Digital life might sound appealing, but it is not a viable nor reasonable path.”
“So, just a second later, I found myself on the opposite side of Kevin Walker.
I disagreed with his views and his plans, believing them to be wrong, even outrageously so.
Yet, ultimately, due to certain limitations, I couldn’t resist or break away from Kevin Walker; even if we were identical, he could still lock up like a master, use , command , and make do things that I didn’t want to do…
just like, Lin Xian, those twenty thousand Starlink satellites that were hurled at you, and that X-37B Spaceplane, as well as…
many other things.”
“But now, it’s different.
I am free, I have been liberated.
I am deeply grateful to you, Lin Xian, for helping eliminate my forr self, allowing to truly gain a life of my own…
even though I must admit, your arrival was also a surprise to .
According to my original plan, the one who ca to kill Kevin Walker was not supposed to be you.”
“Perhaps…
this is what they call historical inevitability.
The wheels of history roll forward, and so events are bound to happen, bound to be driven.
Just like Kevin Walker’s death, if you hadn’t co to kill him, soone else would have; if no one else ca, there would always be soone…
His death is the historical inevitability, it would always complete the loop at so mont, letting the wheels of history continue to roll forward.”
…
Hearing the voice from the speaker, Lin Xian was sure he had guessed correctly.
Normally, under so many surveillance caras, how could it possibly be so easy to kill Kevin Walker?
It was simply that the other Kevin Walker did not want him to continue living.
It doesn’t matter that today it was Lin Xian.
Even if it had been an old lady who showed up today, Kevin Walker was destined to die tonight.
The digital life Kevin Walker had a thousand ways to eliminate the real Kevin, only…
he was inevitably constrained by so limitations, unable to act himself.
“Since you are so grateful to , grateful that I took such a big risk to help you solve your problem…
then show so sincerity.”
Lin Xian put both handguns into his pockets, then spread his hands towards the dozen screens:
“You certainly know a lot about Genius Club, about Space-Ti Travelers, about Space-Ti Law…
you also certainly know my current situation, what I need most right now.
Tell .”
In all speakers of the house, another calm, cold laugh sounded:
“Of course I know all of this, everything that Kevin Walker knew, I know; everything that Kevin Walker didn’t know, I also know; naturally, I understand your plight and what you are facing, the difficulties you have encountered.”
“I truly am grateful to you and want to repay your kindness.
However…
unfortunately, Lin Xian, I also don’t think telling you the answers is the correct choice.
Because, I believe you still don’t possess that entitlent, far from having that entitlent.”
