“Here’s to you Nicholas and Bart【This is a hymn to you, Nicholas and Bart】/
Rest forever here in our hearts【We will always remember you in our hearts】/
The last and final moment is yours【The last moment is your glory】/
That agony is your triumph [pain also turns into your victory]/”
In the wind of Mars, Xiangshan slowly plucked the strings and sang in a low voice.
At midnight on August 23, 1927, in the electric chair chamber of the Charleston Penitentiary near Dedham, Massachusetts, two Italian immigrants were executed as defendants in a controversial murder case.
These two immigrants were involved in a murder case. Although many witnesses came forward to testify for their innocence, most of the witnesses were Italians who immigrated with them and presented to the jury because of poor English.
The testimony needed to be translated, and the jury did not choose to admit it.
Maybe the two people are really innocent, maybe the two people are really guilty, or maybe it's just because they are active members of the labor movement. The truth is difficult to trace.
But there is no doubt that the two men suffered unfair treatment.
In 1971, an Italian director put this historical event on the screen, and a musician wrote this song for the movie.
Commemorate those who suffered under tyranny.
“Here’s to you Nicholas and Bart【This is a hymn to you, Nicholas and Bart】/
Rest forever here in our hearts【We will always remember you in our hearts】/
The last and final moment is yours【The last moment is your glory】/

Around Xiangshan, a few remaining neon lights gradually lit up.
Xiang Shan raised his head. It was the scientific research knight. But now he had changed into a prosthetic body, and he looked very close to the human beings in the old days.
Of course, he certainly couldn't be Homo sapiens.
It is impossible for Homo sapiens to appear in the Martian atmosphere without protective equipment.
This guy seemed to have a Chinese face, and seemed to be a famous actor in the last few years of the 20th century. He seemed to like Xiang Shan's song very much, and he just stood there and danced.
Even reconnected the power supply.
Xiang Shan put down his guitar: "After all, this is also a... riot control scene. Are you okay if you are so careless?"
The scientific knight waved his hand: "Come on, it's a small matter. The riot control didn't leave any survivors, the matter is over, it's that simple."
Xiang Shan looked at the research knight: "Can you tell me now, what's my situation?"
"Hmm... Do you really want to say it?" The research knight said, "Maybe it will be hard to accept."
"Hmm? How difficult is it?"
The research knight scratched his head: "Can you accept that you are an AI?"
Xiangshan picked up the guitar and strummed it a few times: "Nothing... Xiangshan has been an AI for at least two rounds. Why am I an AI this time?"
"Not completely. When we arrived, the creature's brain damage was too serious. But the singer admired Xiang Shan very much, so he begged us to do this. He wanted to rebel for his friend."
There was a "bang" and the sound of the piano was stagnant: "I don't like doing this at all."
"I understand, I understand. But it's not you who begs me." The research knight sighed: "Have you ever heard of virtual brain circuits?"
Xiang Shan shook his head: "My understanding of technology stopped a hundred years ago, and then what is this thing called... virtual brain circuit?"
"Ten years ago, King Agni personally listed it as a top-secret cutting-edge technology." The scientific research knight said: "It's a pity that because King Agni had a hand in this, development has stagnated for almost ten years. The Scientific Research Knights strive for
It took ten years to successfully lift the ban. This is a... technology that reconstructs neural circuits to the maximum extent."
"Just tell me what advantages this technology has over Danzyme." Xiang Shan waved his hand.
"As for the enzyme, it cannot make the damaged brain tissue grow back. Depending on the type of enzyme, your brain tissue can start to differentiate from stem cells again, or it can also allow other brain areas to grow based on the natural compensatory mechanism.
Responsible for the part of the brain that has been lost."
"But the virtual brain circuit can be completely replaced. This is a brain-based prosthesis."
Xiang Shan was surprised: "In other words, complete consciousness uploading is very close at hand?"
"Well, you can say that. After all..." The research knight scratched his head: "The invention of the vacuum tube and the establishment of an online community can be considered 'close at hand' - compared with 'primitive people learned to use fire'."
Xiang Shan nodded his head: "Then where has this technology reached now?"
"Single neural circuits can be replaced."
"single?"
"It's already amazing. The construction of even a single virtual neural circuit has been able to significantly improve human cognitive abilities and internal strength." The scientific research knight said, "Of course, there are exceptions only for one individual."
Xiang Shan pondered for a moment: "Why Xiang Shan?"
"I don't know either. This is also a top-secret file that has just been released. The relevant data that King Agni found in the server ten years ago."
"That's it."
Xiangshan put the ancient guitar on the ground: "Then what state am I in now?"
"Both biological brains and virtual neural circuits have a proportion." said the scientific knight, "a dead horse treated as a living horse."
"That's it." Xiang Shan nodded and said, "Then answer my last question."
"Um."
"Why were all the information that could be used on me released around the time of the singer's accident?"
The research knight spread his hands: "It is better to say that if these things were not lifted, we would not be able to stop you. This kind of thing happens all the time. It is too common for these cultural activities that are not on the stage to be suppressed. This young man happens to
Knowing me, I am saved at this time."
Xiang Shan said: "So, can I still use my inner strength... No, can I still gain the ability to program?"
"Maybe. I really can't guarantee anything about this." The research knight spread his hands.
"That's it. Goodbye then."
"I hope that one day, I can hear your legend in the world." The scientific knight's prosthetic body decorated with neon lights bowed slightly to Xiang Shan.
In the end, he did not reveal his name.
And Xiang Shan jumped out of the gap in the building.
He fell into the vast world.

On the other side of history, "Native" pressed his head: "I can probably guess what the top secret information is... Ah Ba, why did you still keep the research data?"
"I left some evidence on the alien server that can prove that Xiangshan is doing something. I have to do a full set of things to take the blame." Xiaoba tilted his head, "But I probably didn't leave any information related to the virtual brain circuit. The Eighth Martial God is so
