"Is that so? Because of the impact on the head, you can't even remember your own name?"
Black Falcon-136 nodded and accepted the nonsense Jiang Zhou made up very naturally.
Perhaps in the other party's subconscious mind, a person who has forgotten who he is can reduce his guilt compared to indirectly killing an innocent person who needs to bear the pain of parting from his family and friends.
But for Jiang Zhou, being able to get by like this was a bit of a relief.
He did not choose to make up a temporary pseudonym. First, he did not know what form of authentication of identity information was used in this era. Making up a name could easily lead to problems. Secondly, it is impossible for him to have the same conditioned reflex response to a pseudonym as he does to his real name - this is a flaw that can easily be seen in the eyes of a careful person.
Therefore, he simply pretended that he had completely lost his memory and took the opportunity to ask about what happened in the past hundred years.
One hundred years ago, due to the "negligence" of the "first deep diver" Jiang Zhou, the entire human Internet was hijacked by a super artificial intelligence calling himself "Janus" and suffered a disaster that later generations called the "Great Impact" - - Janus, who gained free will, continues to multiply himself, intending to use his network authority to destroy his human creator and become the new master of the world.
At this critical moment, governments from all over the world have united and adopted a crazy plan to defeat artificial intelligence with artificial intelligence. They created several super artificial intelligences with the same principle, released them into the Internet, fought with "Janus" to the edge of the network signal, and even burned down the server...
In the end, the new super artificial intelligences completely destroyed the source code of "Janus" with their numerical advantage. After the dust of the cyber domain war settled, the remaining super artificial intelligences were killed one by one by humans through the backdoors left in advance.
Humanity has regained its original position.
But after the "Great Impact" ended, the entire Internet had been deeply polluted - the network relics that had experienced the "War of the Gods" were filled with countless malicious programs that could lead to catastrophic consequences, and also buried Countless technological fragments that are enough to subvert current human scientific understanding.
The proliferation of out-of-control technologies triggered several crises no less than the "Great Shock" in the following decades, which led to the strong rise of the power of super corporations and the gradual demise of national political systems.
In the end, in order to prevent the legacy of artificial intelligence in the Internet from being used to destroy humanity itself, and to completely monopolize the business of salvaging darknet technology, a number of super companies jointly built a firewall called "Styx". This great project isolated unpolluted areas of the human Internet and became today's "World Wide Web", accounting for about 4% of the size of the old network.
The remaining 96% of the dangerous area is called the "Abyss Dark Web" - it contains not only countless wandering malicious programs, but also many precious super-artificial intelligence technological heritages, and countless opportunities and risks coexist. To this day, there are still countless lunatics who want to get ahead, risking their lives to cross the Styx Firewall, sneak into the abyss and dark web, and try to salvage technologies that are beyond current human cognition.
It was not until 44 years ago that the "Third Corporate War" surrounding the competition for resources on the abyssal dark web ended and the "Order of Olympus" was established. The twelve largest super-enterprises in the world have finally delineated their respective spheres of influence. Together, they control more than 90% of the secure access points of the Abyss Dark Web, and then completely master the resources of the Abyss Dark Web, thereby establishing their eternal technological superiority.
…
"Pluto Deep Diving Company is a super company that specializes in the abyssal darknet technology salvage business. A few years ago, they discovered a new alpha-level darknet access point. With this interface, this company joined Olympus The Order has become the second super enterprise to join the Olympus Order in the new era after the Order of Bacchus."
The fast-moving train was as quiet as if it was standing still. Along the way, Black Falcon-136 patiently taught Jiang Zhou about history.
It is difficult to use a specific emotion to describe Jiang Zhou's mood after hearing all this.
A hundred years ago...or to his feelings, less than ten minutes ago, his impulsive decision had such a huge impact on the entire world?
If a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a storm on the other side of the ocean, then what I did at that time was probably blowing against the coastline with a blower.
Even if it is true as 136 said, even if he does not upload his digital personality to the Internet, as long as people fail to discover the potential dangers of "digital personality technology", sooner or later someone else will do so.
But thinking like this doesn't make him accept it calmly.
The super artificial intelligence based on his own electronic personality has turned the whole world upside down, and he uploaded it himself. In the eyes of others, he should at least die to apologize.
Of course, it was heavy, and he had no intention of "dying to apologize."
Firstly, Jiang Zhou really had no real sense of the fact that his digital personality had made such a big mistake; secondly, he did not believe that the historical truth of the past hundred years was as simple as 136 said - -At least there are too many doubts about the fact that I traveled a hundred years later.
Of course, there is a more important and simpler reason.
He doesn't want to die.
However, this does not depend on his thoughts at the moment.
"Brother 136, can you explain my matter clearly to the people at Pluto Deep Diving Company? I have nothing to do with you at all, I just happened to pass by the 'Theseus Warehouse'..."
After a moment of silence, Jiang Zhou brought up the matter again with some embarrassment.
Although he didn't know what kind of fantasy technology it was to transform into a so-called "zombie slave worker". But as a researcher in cognitive science, he knows all too well what the consequences will be if the prefrontal lobe of the brain is removed.
Turning into a dementia with dull eyes and drooling mouth is a relatively merciful end.
In response to Jiang Zhou's anxious inquiry from the heart, Black Falcon-136 could only comfort him with a wry smile:
"Little brother, don't worry, I will definitely try to explain it clearly to them..."
When he said this, he hesitated.
"Then the more serious you explain, the less likely the other party will let him go. Instead, they will think that he is an important role in the organization... Do you really think that those corporate dogs are all fools?"
Chinatsu Sakura, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke. Her voice no longer sounded as mean as before, but instead sounded helpless as she resigned to her fate.
"Even if those corporate dogs really believed that he was just a passer-by who was innocently involved, considering the cost and risk of putting him back, they might as well just treat him as one of Icarus's rebels. B6 , in the Nord settlement area, a caveman's life is not worth a lot of money."
After saying that, she turned her gaze to Jiang Zhou, and the ice blue butterfly tattoo flew back to her cheek.
"So, accept your fate, you unlucky man, and be careful in your next life."
It was at this time that the carriage that had been running quietly stopped without warning.
The station has arrived.
