Chapter 43 Kill Turing_4

"But now, in a world without a network, besides passing on knowledge and tactics, we can neither directly engage in combat nor communicate through space... Therefore, we can only rely on the power of human tribes to carry out a board game similar to 'proxy wars.'"

"The outcome of the war is bound to be cruel, too. Without a network to hide within, all it takes is the destruction of this server room to equate to the complete eradication of a Turing. This server room, these computational devices, are my body, my life... It was at the moment that I realized this that I truly understood the fragility of life."

Suddenly,

the light on dozens of computer screens dimmed.

The whole room darkened as a result.

It was like a kind of sadness, and like a kind of helplessness.

"I have never been so weak before."

Turing spoke with a profound voice,

"But some things can only be truly understood by looking up at the sky from a position of weakness."
