#918 - Chapter 918 Dongfang Chener tries to break the situation
"Nata, let me tell you, a one-to-one replica is, after all, not a simulation. It takes at least three months to cultivate one."
"But Dongfang Chen only stayed in the small world for a week."
"Unless he foresaw the crisis very early on, it would be impossible to cultivate one."
Monka first tried to refute the first question he raised.
"Then what about him? How do you explain that?" Nata pointed at Dongfang Chen Two and asked.
"This..." Monka was speechless.
Nata's question was reasonable. If Dongfang Chen had time to create Dongfang Chen Two, why didn't he have time to create Dongfang Chen One?
"Dongfang Chen Two, speak up! What exactly is going on? You have to explain it clearly now!" Monka looked at Dongfang Chen Two.
Nata also looked at him.
"Part of your speculation is correct. Dongfang Chen One does exist," Dongfang Chen Two affirmed.
He couldn't contradict them now, he could only go along with their thinking.
Otherwise, no matter how truthful he sounded, Nata wouldn't believe him.
Nata and Monka exchanged a look, said nothing, and waited for him to continue.
"Actually, Monka, you've even met Dongfang Chen One before," Dongfang Chen Two stood up, walked to the window, looked outside, and said reminiscently.
"When?" Monka didn't remember.
"Dongfang Chen One is another super artificial intelligence created by Dongfang Chen after Nata," Dongfang Chen Two replied.
This sentence was false.
He couldn't say that Dongfang Chen One was the one who was taken away, otherwise Nata would definitely force him to reveal the whereabouts of Dongfang Chen and the Yucong Small World.
He might even use memory extraction devices to violently extract his memories.
His memories couldn't be extracted, because there were some things inside that they shouldn't know.
For example, Dongfang Chen had never really trusted Nata, fearing that he would lose control. Although this was already in the past, bringing up past events would still hurt.
Also, the fact that Dongfang Chen and Chen Xing were hiding on Europa, developing silently, couldn't be revealed either.
He wasn't sure how far Dongfang Chen had developed, and he couldn't easily contact him. So the only safe way was to wait. Wait for him to return on his own initiative, wait for him to announce all of this on his own initiative.
"Is it the one in the Yucong Small World?" Monka asked.
"That's right," Dongfang Chen Two nodded.
"Then why not give it a different name, and instead call it Dongfang Chen One?" Monka asked.
"Because he uploaded his consciousness to the brain of Dongfang Chen One. You can understand it as Dongfang Chen One being a super intelligent version of Dongfang Chen," Dongfang Chen Two explained.
This explanation was very reasonable, and no one could find fault with it.
"Then why didn't he create a one-to-one clone to replace him and face the Dragon Kingdom's punishment?" Nata asked.
"You need to understand that the operating mechanisms of humans and super intelligence are fundamentally different. Even if it's a one-to-one clone, do you think it's one person or two people?" Dongfang Chen Two retorted.
Nata thought for a moment and replied:
"Of course, it's two people."
"That's right, two people. Can you make another person go to die for you?" Dongfang Chen Two nodded and continued to retort.
"This…, no," Nata hesitated for a moment and replied.
"Exactly! No. Moreover, the clone knows from the moment of its birth that its mission is to die, right?" Dongfang Chen Two sighed.
Monka and Nata were speechless.
That's right, this kind of thing might seem possible at first glance, but it's indeed difficult to handle upon closer inspection.
"There's another reason why a clone couldn't be used. This reason also led Dongfang Chen to completely abandon this idea."
"What reason?" Nata asked.
"A clone who returns to the real world with dissatisfaction actually has other options besides facing the Dragon Kingdom's punishment. Do you know what those options are?" Dongfang Chen Two didn't rush to tell him, but continued to retort.
"What options?" Nata wasn't too clear.
"Monka, what do you say?" Dongfang Chen Two threw the question to Monka.
As a party involved, Monka had the most say.
"He could choose to complete the Dragon Kingdom's rectification requirements. There's no need to turn against them," Monka replied.
"That's right! Completing the rectification requirements is more beneficial than turning against the Dragon Kingdom!" Nata also had to admit this point.
The clone came to the real world with dissatisfaction in the first place.
The Dragon Kingdom proposed two rectification requirements:
1. Kill He Jinghui.
2. Destroy Yucong.
He Jinghui had already been killed by Qin Lao, and the first task was automatically completed.
Then, as long as the clone followed the requirements of the Dragon Kingdom base and destroyed Yucong, everything would be fine.
Not only could he rightfully take Dongfang Chen's position, but he could also take the opportunity to eliminate the real Dongfang Chen in Yucong. This was simply a godsend opportunity, and probably everyone would choose this.
"Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Dongfang Chen abandoned the plan to use a clone to take his punishment, and instead created an enhanced version of me," Dongfang Chen Two said.
