For company directors who have mastered the α-level deep submersible interface, in the basic reality, wherever their own multi-purpose printer is installed, that is where their power can be directly projected - through the download protocol, they can do whatever they want Input the command named "Base Adjustment Factor" into the printer so that your power can be embodied in the base reality.
If it weren't for the "Olympus Accords" that stipulates that the adjusters of each company have exceeded the limits of human intelligence and cannot directly affect the basic reality. Then I am afraid that the entire world will be centered on the multi-purpose printer, and will be divided by them into one after another, independent of each other and following the laws of their respective gods.
But there is no way, free trade, the flow of human intelligence, the diversion of mental pressure, the suppression of the spread of bad soil... because of one or other reasons, and under the strong pressure of the God King Jupiter Group. Even those first-generation adjusters who experienced the "big shock" eventually had to accept this condition.
Especially when they saw the cost of violating the agreement - Diana Lunar Development suffered a heavy blow from the darknet AI Hecate because the board of directors used the deep dive interface too unrestrainedly; and Juno Financial's pilot park was Because he crossed the line, he was punished by a "big thunder" and was annihilated into nothingness.
In this way, an invisible "Styx" seems to have been drawn between the evolved gods and humans - the gods can occasionally show their great power; they can guide and indirectly control regional politics; they can even be divided into " In the "Conflict Zone", the mortals who were transformed and blessed participated in the "Mercenary War".
But I just can’t end it in person.
However, this provision is not so rigid.
First of all, during the "Network War" when the "Order of Olympus" is out of order and major companies are fighting each other, this regulation will lose the supervision it deserves. Of course, no one knows that today's human beings are at the base. Can the real territory withstand another cyber domain war?
In comparison, another exception is more common.
This is also the reason why the directors of Pluto Deep Diving Company took action now - that is the emergence of the so-called "crystalline core".
For the Olympus Order, which controls absolute power, they have never cared about civil resistance organizations - because the power of the gods is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, anyone with a normal IQ understands that resisting the corporate order is a dead end. .
In fact, the weak, slightly tragic organized resistance to the Olympian order is part of the corporate order.
In many cases, tracing back to the origins of those resistance organizations, you will find that the companies they are resisting provide funds and technology - those resistances that do not stir up waves are used by the companies to control and manage the different groups of people. The settling factor found a nice relief valve for the crowd.
On the other hand, most of the so-called "resistance forces" are themselves a bunch of rabble. Even if the company doesn't do much to deal with it, let them develop on their own, and let the evil of human nature ferment in those groups. The final result will only make the company's rule stronger.
Because the people will understand how much worse the world will be if someone other than the "Order of Olympus" comes to power.
But there is only one kind of collective behavior that is not included in this, and that is "legend".
Or to put it in a more academic way - collective social behavior based on independent individual will.
To put it simply, there is no mastermind behind the scenes, no strict organization, complete decentralization... people from all over the world who have never met, purely out of personal will. Aiming at the same goal, there is an incomparable tacit cooperation. Finally complete the destruction of the company's order.
Although based on the difference in size, those damages cannot shake the foundation of the company's order. But once a certain "legendary" trend appears, the company's order has no way of judging where the lone wolf-style attack will appear - under the trend, even after many brainwashings, the core employees who should have been loyal Nor can its loyalty be guaranteed 100%.
There has been more than one case in which a company's middle and senior management did not hesitate to give up their own glory, wealth and noble status just to become part of those "legends".
The formation of a legend is like the growth of a crystal, a repeated accumulation of its own structure. But at the very beginning, a perfect enough "crystalline core" is needed as a starting point.
Those "crystal nuclei" are legends that are beyond the control of the company. They are "social viruses" that will be completely decentralized once they spread. As for the social events that go on one after another without any behind-the-scenes instructions and are purely based on personal will, no matter how powerful the company is, it will be unable to cope with it.
What can become a "crystalline core" is often a legendary struggle based on personal will, alone, clearly targeting the company's order, and almost impossible to succeed.
Success, immortality, and death—the above three conditions are equally important and indispensable.
Based on this mechanism, the Order of Olympus also found a way to deal with the "Legend", which is to eliminate the "crystalline core" that detonated the "Legend" at the source.
As for what Liao Qi, a member of the Icarus Liberation Front, who came from the underground of the Nord settlement area, had done before - whether it was his own tragic experience in the past, the record of hunting down the company's elite troops, or the plan to destroy several people in the settlement area. Millions of people were dragged into the situation, using the bombing of the Nord resettlement area as a threat to ask the company to agree to their conditions. They are all very likely to become the "crystallizing core" that triggers the collective unconscious thoughts of the people.
Because of this, it is impossible for the company to agree to Liao Qi's conditions, even if his conditions are indeed not excessive - because such a start must not be made. Once there is such a precedent, people who imitate Liao Qi's behavior in the future will Sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
For the same reason, after the other party said "this is a personal grudge", the company would never even accept him to blow up the Nord resettlement area as he wished. The loss of people and fixed property is also secondary. Once this incident becomes a "crystallization nucleus", imitation of this kind of reckless revenge behavior will become even more difficult to guard against.
Even if those imitations and attempts by the public will most likely not be successful, they still want to calm down this social phenomenon. Even with full public opinion control, it will take ten years to bring the data down to an acceptable level.
During this period, any imitation of shit luck that is successful will trigger a new carnival.
Therefore, even if something like what happened in the Nord Resettlement Zone was not worth asking the powerful people on the board of directors to take action. However, after negotiations with senior executives of several companies, they finally reached the final attitude of "never compromise, and never let the other party succeed."
When it came to Pluto Deep Dive, Aeacus, one of the directors of the company and the adjuster of the upgrade path to Hades Depth 8, took action.
He released his "level 7 base adjustment factor" toward the network node the company deployed underground in the Nord settlement area.
"Base adjustment factor" is an ability that many upgrade paths can obtain after breaking through the limits of human intelligence. It can be regarded as a prosthetic virtual machine that is downloaded to the base reality using a multi-purpose printer. The number after level represents the highest depth of technology used.
The base adjustment factor has a limited range of activity and can only operate within the range covered by the universal printer signal. Moreover, the performance of the prosthetic body is not as good as that of the main body, and there is also a big problem in terms of battery life...
But even so, such a level 7 prosthetic body can easily annihilate the adjusters below depth 7, and suppress the depth 7 adjusters of the same level with an absolute advantage.
In this way, Aeacus carried equipment that could capture the opponent alive, as well as disaster relief tools that blocked the transmission of seismic waves to the mantle and caused geological disasters. After a brief discussion and research by the board of directors, they planned to allow the people of the Icarus Liberation Front to detonate the anti-matter bomb. Blast the seventh floor of the resettlement area into a hell on earth, thereby completely shattering Liao Qi's "crystalline core" and turning him into a madman and a sinner.
Just for their own personal grudges, they carried out indiscriminate massacres of innocent lower-class people. By then, the company only needs to hold a few disaster relief charity performances, and then close up the camera to capture the local tragedy, which is enough to turn this rising "legend" into another skull that stabilizes the cornerstone of the company's order.
This is not the first time Aeacus has smashed the "Crystal Core". Until the download started, Aeacus didn't think there was anything wrong with this plan.
It wasn't until his data was hijacked halfway through downloading and the avatar program was directly transferred to the "City of Sages" that he realized that things were not as simple as he thought.
This riot that occurred in the Nord settlement area, the water inside was much deeper than I imagined...
I can't locate my own coordinates in the Abyss Dark Web, and I can't contact anyone outside. The two existences on the stage at this moment gave Aeacus an extremely dangerous signal.
"Director Aeachus wanted to download the base reality influence factor into the Nord settlement and was the last member to attend this trial."
"Anonymous" introduced to everyone present;
"Be present as the final defendant and accept the verdict and trial."
defendant? ruling? me?
After breaking through the limits of human intelligence, he changed his name to Aeacus, and took the judge of the underworld as his code name. Now he is actually going to be judged?
That ridiculous emotion only lasted a short moment. Soon, Aeacus used his authority as the director of Pluto Deep Diving Company to obtain the information he needed directly from the information database of those watchdogs.
Regarding Liao Qi, Christie, Paradox, Anonymous... the ins and outs of everything were instantly analyzed clearly by his logical circuit.
This is essentially an attempt by an AI from the Abyss Dark Web to interfere with the basic reality by crossing the Styx Firewall - they should have thought that Christie's return must have been helped by other AIs from the Dark Web.
In other words, this trial is a verification of authority - they want to use the authority of their α-level deep dive interface to extend their power into the basic reality.
Just like the "lunar eclipse event" ten years ago.
Why hold a trial for the murder of the innocent person "Liao Qi"... All of this is the two AIs on the stage working with Christie to set up a game for themselves, so as to induce themselves to hand over their authority.
Otherwise, would these two AIs, who are suspected to be from the super abyssal layer, really go to war over a waste of depth 4? That man is not the reincarnation of the First Deep Diver, so he is joking about Janus.
Therefore, he first glanced at Christie on the side, and then turned his "face" to the two artificial intelligences on the stage.
"Judgment?"
He opened his mouth and talked eloquently:
"Please forgive me for being rude, although I don't know which phylogenetic tree the two superiors are derived from. But why should we judge the lions that hunt wildebeests and the bats that eat mosquitoes? What about me? Mr. Paradox, and Ms. Hades.
"You two have your own order, and we also have our own ecology. In the lower realm of the physical layer, the law of the jungle is our normal ecological cycle. Since our current management of human society has not caused damage to your order. On the contrary. , we are actually working day and night to contain and manage the technological fragments you missed, maintaining the stability and balance of the basic reality. So why should we imitate our methods and impose judgment on me who is supposed to be the judge? "
In this case, I just need to verify the "Mandala", and then talk about something casually, until the other party cannot support my influence on the basic reality, and the matter is over.
After all, his body is in Tartarus, and the opponent does not have a "steed" as a fulcrum to project power. It is impossible to kill a depth 8 adjuster across the abyss and dark network.
Just delay.
Thinking of this, Aeacus pointed to the blood-red ghost in the center of the hall, and then continued:
"Or is it because of him? A human who was once chosen by you to be a 'steed' died unfortunately because of some small misunderstandings. If so, then you only need to swear to the River Styx that you will not do anything to the Foundation. Reality has caused damage, so I can promise to find a more suitable candidate for you, give it to you to ride, and make up for your losses."
As he spoke, Aeachus thought with some evil humor.
It stands to reason that the vast majority of AIs do not understand human emotions at all. For the "horse" they use to travel through the basic reality, if it dies, it is dead. At the worst, they can just replace it with another one.
There is absolutely no need to do anything like help with revenge.
But as a result, not only do they have to avenge the other party, but they also have to create a chain of revenge, and judge everyone in this chain.
How can this be?
How can there be such a humane AI? Generally speaking, AI observing humans is like humans observing capuchin monkeys. Even if a monkey in the monkey group that is loved by a certain scientist is killed, then there won't be a trial for the murderer of the monkey and then execution, right?
"Although I shouldn't be allowed to say this, this is our ecology, and you two should not interfere too much. This was already determined when the Styx Firewall was built to isolate the world between us. thing. After all...
"That was the last 'last wish' left before ■■■ disappeared."
Finally, thus spoke Aeachus.
He was talking about one of the super artificial intelligences that participated in the siege of "Janus" and the last ascended AI to disappear during the Great Impact Era. It's just that he is in the Abyss Dark Web at this moment, and he dare not say his name for fear of receiving the attention of some beings.
But neither Paradox nor Hecate answered his words, and the nameless person standing in front spoke:
"That is, have you decided to give up your defense and admit your guilt?"
Then, without waiting for the other party's answer, it turned to look at the two people on the stage and said:
"Then, I think Mr. Aeacus's crime has been drawn up, and I would like to ask your lords to take a look at it."
A roll of parchment burned in the hands of the Nameless One, and its ashes were reassembled in the hands of Hecate and Paradox, and the two nodded.
Wait a moment……
Aeachus suddenly realized that he had made the wrong question.
A fatal problem.
So, they really dragged me here because of the death of that person named "Liao Qi"?
Do these two AIs really want to convict themselves?
But...why?
What value can an ordinary person from the bottom of the resettlement area have? Why do you get such attention from two AIs?
"Wait a moment..."
Aeachus opened his mouth and tried to defend himself.
At this time, the "paradox" composed of countless color blocks stood up.
At the same time, this trial court... no, this entire city changes with his actions - at this moment, he is the absolute center of this world.
"You are right, your body is now inside Tartarus. Without a fulcrum, I really cannot kill you completely."
He says so.
The death activated by the "apoptosis program" was ineffective against the adjuster as early as when it was upgraded to depth 7 - in a sense, the promotion of the "apoptosis program" back then was regarded as a failure to decipher the "mantra". "Luo" password is used to maximize the company's control over employees and the public.
If you want to kill adjusters with a depth of 7 or above through cyberspace, you must either completely control the opponent's body. "Evil Possession" controls suicide, or controls the objects around the opponent to kill.
"Furthermore, if your board of directors as a whole kills only you, it would be unfair to the others who are still alive."
"Paradox" said as he snapped his fingers, and a dark vortex like thick asphalt formed under the opponent's feet.
"But just because I can't kill you doesn't mean I can't banish you."
Looking at Aeacus sinking gradually in the whirlpool, Jiang Zhou said softly.
Using Hecate's authority over the path, he cut off all the other party's paths back to the base reality.
"Just wander around in the abyss forever. This is your verdict." (End of Chapter)
