The Overturned Tower Chapter 49 This Is Love

Strictly speaking, ethanol-5 and lemon-7 are not really the relationship between male and female friends.

Because synths simply don't have the ability to breed offspring... There is no such relationship from the design level.

They don't have any real flesh and blood on their bodies, let alone the genetic genes that can breed offspring.

Synths will have different gender identities and individual differences simply because humans have such distinctions.

After all, the essence of the synthetic human is the "laboratory version" of the body that will be used by human beings in the future to accommodate the downloaded consciousness. From the design level, it does not intend and does not allow individuals to make offspring without the permission of the system—this is called unauthorized self-replication, which is a virus behavior.

Their bodies do not secrete corresponding hormones, nor do they have receptors for receiving hormones, nor do they have brains that process these information. It is impossible for them to fall in love with others.

"I don't understand love, and I don't need love. Just to make myself look more like a human being, I hypocritically interpret love. This kind of love is as shallow as the hatred and anger bestowed by Naraku-7."

Lemon-7 stared at the body of his companion, and there was no fluctuation in the moving and clear simulated pupils: "Don't look at me with that disgusting look, Ethanol-5."

Hearing this, the hurt-like expression in Ethanol-5's eyes also faded.

He lost all expression on his face, staring at Lemon-7 lifelessly like a mannequin without a face.

But Russell had a weird smile on his face instead.

"Are you serious?"

His voice was like a devil whispering: "What if he takes it seriously, Miss Lemon-7?"

"My words are serious, not a joke. What I have deduced and said logically, as a similar kind, he should seriously analyze, understand and implement. There is no possibility, and there should be no possibility of not taking it seriously."

"Oh, really? But we human beings, we call your emotion just now...'anger'.

"—What are you angry about?"

"I'm not angry."

Lemon-7's face didn't change at all, but he patiently said to Russell: "My current body doesn't have the function of "anger". Take appropriate action."

"No, it's anger."

Russell was equally patient and peaceful: "I can feel your heart.

"If you had an anger value at this moment, it must have risen sharply just now. Although there are no hormones and no programs to make your mood agitated, which makes your tone so calm. But there is no doubt—you are just because Feeling the strong 'anger', I chose to interfere with ethanol-5 without actively asking questions.

"His love is indeed hypocritical. He thinks that the identities of the two of you should be 'lovers' at least in front of me. And his lover blatantly said 'I am a traitor', he should question it and say Showing sadness and pain. Am I right, ethanol-5?"

"You said so."

Alcohol-5 nodded mildly and shyly, the vivid "question" and "pain" completely disappeared from his smiling face.

And Russell turned to look at Lemon-7: "But you are different.

"You get angry because of Alcohol-5's impersonating behavior—this is because you feel that your existence is being provoked and interfered with. In other words, you think that the other party has made offensive actions to you...but since you and him are a fake couple, How can there be any offense in a virtual play house?

"Alcohol-5 just imitated the behavior of Alcohol-4 in his memory, did what his 'identity' should do, and you felt your own personality was offended. This proves that- what you see The 'Ethanol-5' is not the inherited name of 'Ethanol' that can be seen according to the basic rules of synthetic humans, but is specific to a certain generation of individuals.

"You didn't get angry when you saw the other person's strange body, but after the other person made a poor imitation, which shows that your judgment is not carried out by visual units; so he changed the body. It is no offense to you, But the act of imitating ethanol-4 has become offensive.

"In other words, you value ethanol-4 in your heart... value and miss that companion who has many bad habits after being polluted by Narol-7.

"This proves one thing. Even if a synthetic human does not have the ability to express love and perceive love, it is still possible to have 'love' in a broad sense..."

Russell whispered, the expression on his face was so gentle that he seemed to be feeding the pigeons in the square, but what he did made Ringo feel creepy—

He actually... is trying to teach an artificial human what is "love"?

—What taboo words and deeds this is!

In his whisper, although Lemon-7 still had no expression on her face, she hadn't spoken for a long time, and she froze in place as if she had shut down.

This means that her computing system has started to run at full speed, and it is probably stuck... If there is no accident, Lemon-7 may not be far away from the next Nirvana.

…Is this too cruel?

For a moment, Ringo didn't know whether to stop Russell.

She felt sorry for the synthetic human who loved but didn't know how to love, but she really felt that this should be a fact that the other party should face up to, so she bit her finger and struggled.

But at this moment, Russell suddenly spoke.

"Lemon-7, I have one more thing to ask you.

"You said that the synthetics defected because of romance. You must have known that this was a losing battle. Then why did you attack an empty ship full of innocent passengers?"

"We did not attack airships."

Lemon-7, which was stuck on the verge of shutdown, responded without hesitation: "You are talking about the airship crash yesterday, but we did not do it.

"We know you will come, but we don't know when you will come, let alone you will come from Sun Island..."

"—Wait a minute."

Russell raised his eyebrows and interrupted: "You knew I would come? Who told you?"

"Naru-7 said that the hero 'Ultramarine' from Happy Island will come to us to stop our actions."

"When did he say that?"

"December 1 at 9:43 am."

Lemon-7 answered clearly.

Today is December 14th.

In other words, almost two weeks ago, Naraku-7 confirmed that he was coming.

...But when Russell learned about this, it was still yesterday.

And Shenzhi Heavy Industry should have handed over this matter to Thoth's psychic troops... Amyrus would temporarily decide to hand over this matter to himself, probably because Thrall wanted to see him.

Why can Naraku-7 be sure that he will come so early? But you don't know that you are coming from Sun Island?

This means that she didn't know that this matter was actually handed over to Thoth in the first place?

Russell specifically disturbed Lemon-7's thoughts, making her psychology more superficial and more human-like... also in order to improve her perception of emotion and psychology.

He can be sure that Lemon-7 is not lying.

They didn't attack the airship—or at least in Lemon-7's knowledge, they didn't shoot down it.

Thinking of this, Russell asked the most critical question:

"Where did your 'Fire Opal' stop on the day the airship was shot down?"

"Just above here."

Lemon-7 replied without hesitation: "It always stops above the Tartaros Hotel. Because this is the only strategic area that is threatening and enough to hurt the board of directors but not cause it to die with us."

Russell narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned to Ethanol-5 and asked, "Is what she said true?"

"Yes."

Ethanol-5 added earnestly: "Since we got the 'Fire Opal', it has always stopped here. Tartarus also knows this."

It's the truth.

"Oh."

Russell responded lukewarmly, and looked at No. 44: "So, on No. 44—did the hotel see missiles emerging from the void that day?"

Number 44 remained silent, as if he didn't know how to respond.

So, Russell simply snapped his fingers ~www.wuxiahere.com~ He jumped off the bed and walked in front of No. 44.

Reaching out to support her chin, let her look into his dim yellow eyes.

"Better answer me directly, number 44... no, Tartarus."

Russell whispered: "I can ask many people. There must not be too few people who witnessed all this that day."

"No."

After being silent for a while, as if he had obtained some kind of permission, No. 44 breathed a sigh of relief, spoke very fast but clearly enough: "If there is a missile within the warning range of the hotel, it will be blocked by the tower immediately." Hurtaros' defense system intercepted it."

"The fire opal of the synth rebels is right above you, do you know that?"

"I know, but it doesn't matter. Because we can intercept Huo Opal's missiles, and the hotel walls are completely immune to Huo Opal's direct bombardment."

Knowing that the bombardment by missiles is useless, they still parked the fighters here.

He clearly knew that the bombing fortress was right on top of his head, but he turned a blind eye to it.

"I'm starting to get a little bit interested."

Russell laughed out loud suddenly, his dim yellow eyes dimmed slightly, and he said, "The situation has become more interesting..."
