Chapter 445 Investigation
Just when Doomsday Batman took Reverse Flash to dig the grave where Firestorm's body was stored, on the watchtower, Deathstorm informed the main members of the Zhenglian about what had happened previously. Giants such as Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, and Green Lantern took the lead. Rush back.
"What happened?" Superman saw Cyborg lying on the operating table and immediately looked inside his body through his X-ray eyes.
"His heart is broken!"
"But you told us he was still alive." Wonder Woman asked Deathstorm for details.
Green Lantern used the light ring to scan Cyborg's whole body and found that there were still some physiological activities in the opponent's brain.
"His condition is very bad. Although his brain seems to be alive, its activity is very low. I don't even know if he can still think."
Batman walked alone to the main console while everyone gathered around Cyborg, and he was calling up the surveillance here.
But he searched carefully for a while and found that a piece of surveillance video had been manually deleted. He immediately started repairing it to see if it could be restored.
"What's going on? You said an enemy who looks like The Flash broke into this place?" Green Lantern wondered.
You must know that this is a watchtower space station. After the transformation of the Apocalypse star, it is basically a fortress floating in space. It is unbelievable that someone can sneak into this place silently.
Without a foothold, even The Flash can't do this. He can't run through space.
Deathstorm explained: "That person calls himself 'Reverse Flash'. I suspect that he is another 27 parallel time and space beings of The Flash. Their abilities are exactly the same."
By the way, after I injured him, he used the speed force to run into a wormhole. Maybe he sneaked into the space station this way?"
"Is this possible? Bruce?" Superman didn't hear the response, turned his head towards the main console, and found Batman typing on the keyboard, with a series of dazzling codes on the screen.
"Someone deleted the surveillance video from a recent period. I can restore the original video, but it will take time.
Batman turned around: "But I'm suspecting that the other party may have deliberately not physically destroyed the video files in order to waste my time.
"So..." Clark scratched his head.
Batman walked to Cyborg's bed: "If it's Cyborg, he should be able to restore the video soon.
"But now Cyborg can't do it at all...wait..." Wonder Woman thought thoughtfully, "You want to bring Cyborg from our world? But our world needs him."
Now Cortana has followed Dane to the Apocalypse planet. In the original world, only Cyborg had the ability to monitor dangerous situations around the world.
If Cyborg is brought here, Wonder Woman is worried that they won't be able to deal with it if something happens.
"We don't need Cyborg to come here in person..." Batman said into the communicator: "Barry, I need you to come back to the watchtower immediately."
The next second, the teleportation channel brought The Flash into the watchtower: "What happened?"
Batman immediately said: "Barry, use the cosmic treadmill to go back immediately and bring the grid over."
Wonder Woman suddenly said: "It is true that the grid is more suitable for this task than Cyborg, but...haven't you always distrusted artificial intelligence?"
Diana's expression was a bit teasing. When Cyborg announced his research results to the Alliance, Batman's face was hard to look at.
Batman said expressionlessly: "This is not our world, and the damage the grid can do to this is very small."
Nowadays, the post-apocalyptic earth has just begun to regain order. Let alone the network, electromagnetic wave transmitters with slightly higher power are very scarce. Even if there is really a problem with the grid, it will not cause any trouble.
Wonder Woman rolled her eyes, Batman is still the same Batman, nothing has changed.
After The Flash understood his mission, he agreed to the matter, but before starting to work, he still asked with concern.
"Is this Cyborg okay?"
This question can only be answered by Death Storm: "It depends on his own will. Although I helped him rebuild an artificial heart, the real problem for him after losing the human heart is the change in self-perception. I don't know if you Ever heard of the 'Ship of Theseus'?"
Wonder Woman, as a Ph.D. in Greek history and archeology, has definitely heard of this famous paradox. Batman, as a top student, has also heard of it. Superman once supplemented his knowledge in this area in order to deal with the gods and ghosts from Olympus. .
The Flash didn't know much about Greek philosophy, so he really didn't know much about it, so he looked confused.
"The so-called 'Ship of Theseus' or 'Theseus Paradox' is a question about identity authentication.
It describes a ship that can sail the seas for hundreds of years, thanks to constant repairs and replacement parts.
As soon as a board rots, it will be replaced, and so on, until all functional parts are no longer the original ones.
The question is, is the resulting ship still the same Ship of Theseus, or is it a completely different ship? If not, at what point does it cease to be the same ship?"
"But Cyborg should still have his brain, right?" The Flash scratched his head.
"Yes, he still has a brain left, and it is a brain that is shared with his electronic consciousness." Death Storm pointed out the most critical issue.
Ever since Cyborg became a biochemical cyborg, there have actually been two conscious subjects in his brain, one is the human Victor Stone, and the other is the electronic consciousness born under the influence of the Mother Box.
Electronic consciousness does not have Victor's life experience, so it actually does not have its own personality at the beginning, but it can learn, think, and will take over Victor's mechanical body when necessary.
When the reverse lightning was about to completely kill Cyborg, Victor had actually entered shock. It was the electronic consciousness that remained calm that allowed the death storm to attack in time.
Although it seems that electronic consciousness does not have the desire to survive and subjective free will like real life, as it continues to learn, sooner or later electronic consciousness will sprout a real personality.
The Justice League knows that Deathstorm is not alarmist, because the Grid is a new life form created by Cyborg after he separated his electronic consciousness.
If Cyborg in a coma does not have a strong will to strengthen his human self, he is likely to be assimilated by electronic consciousness and eventually become a grid-like artificial intelligence ecosystem.
At that time, the human brain will become a dispensable "wetware", and he may not be able to abandon it one day.
By then, Cyborg will truly become a new "Ship of Theseus."
"Maybe the grid can help in this matter. Its life form is now very close to Cyborg."
"I'll be there right away!" The Flash said immediately.
When they came to the energy power room, Batman's detective intuition made him frown a little, but he didn't have time to think about it. The most important thing now was to bring the grid over.
The Flash stood on the cosmic treadmill. Batman initially charged the treadmill. This purpose was mainly to warm up the treadmill and spin it first so that the tracks could keep up with the speed of the lightning user.
"I'm ready!"
After The Flash said this, his legs spun like hot wheels, and countless lightning began to appear around him. The Speed Force was connected to the treadmill, and afterimages began to appear on Barry's body.
"Guys, see you in a second!"
After saying these words, Barry's figure disappeared instantly, leaving only a strong wind blowing things around him flying everywhere.
Batman At the moment finally knew where the sense of dissonance he felt when he walked in came from!
This place seemed to have just experienced an air turbulence before they came in, just like the wind pressure caused by 450 The Flash just running on the treadmill.
Before they came here, someone had used the cosmic treadmill!
Batman was still thinking that the guy who called himself "Reverse Flash" probably came here through the cosmic treadmill. The next second, another strong wind blew on the treadmill.
The Flash appeared in lightning, and just as he said, "I saw him again the next second."
After he appeared, Batman removed power to the treadmill and Barry slowly came to a stop.
As soon as Barry appeared, he turned his attention to Superman, seeming hesitant to speak.
Superman was puzzled by his look and asked, "What's the matter? Why do you look at me like this?"
"Nothing!" The Flash shook his head desperately when he heard this, and forced his mouth into a strange smile.
Superman still feels something is wrong, but he doesn't know even if The Flash doesn't say anything.
But Batman felt something in his heart. Things related to Superman could not be...
"Did you get the grid?" Wonder Woman hadn't forgotten business yet.
"Bring it." Barry nodded quickly, opened his palm, and a black plug-in as thick as his forearm appeared in his palm, with a dark green circuit on it, which looked full of science fiction.
"Then let's get started."
Batman took the things, returned to the main control room, and inserted the plug-in into the central computer.
The black plug-in turned into nanoparticles and penetrated into the computer. Soon, the electronic face of the grid appeared on the screen.
"This is the Grid, happy to serve you, Mr. Batman."
"Grid, can you restore the surveillance video from the watchtower?"
"Definitely, it's easy." After saying that, data streams began to appear on the computer. They modified and reshaped the files at the speed of tens of thousands of codes per second. After a few seconds, the video files had been completely repaired.
Batman immediately opens the file, and the battle between Cyborg and Reverse-Flash is unleashed.
"Oh my god, he does look a lot like me!" The Flash exclaimed. .
