Fifteen minutes later, Xie Yuan came out of the monitor's house, patted the invisible dust on his body, and slowly walked around the neighborhood on the street.
"There is a limit to human endurance. Beyond this limit, people will collapse."
Although it was written by someone else, it really has a different flavor coming from Guo Xiaoqiang's mouth. No matter how hard he adhered to the rules, they were automatically broken by Xie Yuan's threats to their families and the temptation of triple their salary.
The two of them really didn't know the slightest bit of inside information. They only knew that after the previous employer ended the employment, they were arranged by the latter employer to monitor the house again. They also reported the strangers they saw.
And now he is hired by Xie Yuan to monitor possible strangers. It is hard to say what the purpose of the first two people is, but Xie Yuan hopes that in addition to the cameras he has arranged, he can have an extra pair of eyes that can detect crises and proactively warn them.
"Am I becoming a bad person like this?" Xie Yuan looked at the road ahead and listened to the cheers of Nicole's family celebrating their birthday and laughed at himself.
Thinking about the character he created, he is really hateful. He likes to use people's weaknesses to make concessions and serve him. But if he doesn't do this, how can he provide a safe life for Aiden's sister?
"Okay, let's turn off the plane... Wow, Aiden?" Nicole's joyful exclamation suddenly appeared in the earphones.
"Uncle Aiden!"*2, the two little devils also shouted
"Hi, I am your uncle Aiden... the virtual intelligence created by him. Aiden is busy now, but he can see you through my perspective. Happy birthday, Pixon." 100% Aiden came from the earphones. It's the voice of Den's original voice line, but this voice sounds a bit dull.
"Are you an AI? Just like Ultron," Pixon suddenly said, sounding very interested in this.
"Unfortunately, I'm just a VI." VI-Aiden regretfully clarified.
"VI?"*3, this was the first time for the three of them to hear this word.
“Yes, virtual intelligence,” VI-Aiden explained to the family of three, “Simulation intelligence is an advanced interactive interface software.
VI uses a variety of methods to simulate natural conversations, including voice interfaces and interactive virtual personalities.
Although VIs can realistically simulate intelligence, they are not self-aware and do not take autonomous actions."
"Cool!" Pixon exclaimed, but soon a low voice came out, "But you're not him." After saying that, he heard the sound of running, and it got farther and farther, so he probably ran away.
But Nina asked with interest: "I want to find My Little Pony, can you help me?"
"Of course, just wait for a second," VI-Aiden said in a My Little Pony voice, "Hi. Nina, I heard you are looking for me, how are you?"
"My Little Pony!" Nina exclaimed.
"Let's be friends. You see, I have left the mark of your friendship." The pony seemed to have made some movement and made a sound of tapping horseshoes.
"Great! My Little Pony is my friend." Nina cheered.
Xie Yuan felt happy for a while after hearing this. Due to the unknown threat, he could not reunite with his sister and her family at will. However, he felt that it was worthwhile to be able to use his technological plug-in to bring joy to the children.
As for whether this holographic VI will cause unnecessary trouble, Xie Yuan is still very confident about this.
Although virtual intelligence is a specialty of his main world, it does not have any too troublesome technical barriers. Its body only uses a variety of algorithms to achieve the "interaction" effect.
Even though virtual intelligence has advanced interactive interface software, the software only makes it "humanized" based on algorithms. Its actual computing speed still depends on the existing computer hardware.
Compared with the lowest response speed of the quantum core in his main world (1Z Flops, one hundred thousand (=10^21) floating point operations per second), the hardware computing speed of this era is far less than this.
What's more important is that he uses only an ordinary computer processor with an eight-core processor, with a computing speed of up to 4G FLOPS (four billion floating point operations per second).
This level of computing power is fine for entertaining children, but it cannot handle overly complicated things at all.
"Aiden takes a rest." VI-Aiden probably didn't have anyone to care about him anymore, so he entered an automatic sleep state.
But before she had to wait long, she heard Nicole's cell phone ringing, and she hurried to answer the phone.
Xie Yuan didn't take it seriously at first, but soon some disturbing words came from the earphones.
"Oh, really? No, don't let me interrupt you."
"..."
"Who are you? Do you hide the call and think no one knows?"
"..."
"I don't know if you think this is funny, but I'm sure the police don't!"
"Something happened." Xie Yuan felt something was wrong. Did his problem still affect Nicole?
He immediately took out a thick-rimmed glasses from his pocket. Although they were thick-rimmed, they were actually hollow carbon fiber tubes with some densely packed integrated circuits inside.
The lenses were also LCD screens. When he put on the glasses, he immediately connected to all the cameras in his home. Then he saw Nicole, who was pretending to be calm.
He couldn't bear to see her trying so hard to hide her fear at home, but the first priority was to find out who was calling.
He immediately hacked into Nicole's cell phone, monitored the call, and immediately locked the caller's location. .
"...It sounds like the police can trace this phone call." Nicole responded directly to the police.
"... I know where you live... Are the door locks in your house okay?" the stranger threatened in a sinister voice.
"Who are you? Why are you calling?" Nicole asked sharply.
…
"How brave!" Xie Yuan yelled. It turned out that triangulation had locked the approximate location of the caller, which was just outside Nicole's sister's community!
"I've died once, and you still refuse to let Nicole go. You really think I'm weak and can't carry a knife!" Xie Yuan now desperately wants the person who made the threatening phone call to die. He has been easily bullied since he was a child. host.
Not because he couldn't beat him, but because he was afraid of getting into trouble. When he was a child, he was a foreigner and attended a semi-public and semi-private elementary school/junior high school in the urban-rural fringe area.
He was born tall and strong, but he was surrounded by local people with big surnames. Even if he won a momentary resistance, could he escape endless "care"? He spent his junior high school years in humiliation.
Later he went to high school, but finally his classmates did not bully the weak too much for academic reasons, although he began to face new hardships later on.
Now that I have the strength and don't have to worry about being bullied, it's time to vent some of the hatred I felt back then.
…
"Do you think you are safe? Nicole...dong dong, what's going on?" Just as Nicole was listening to the caller's threatening call, she suddenly heard a sound of knocking on the glass, as if knocking on the car window. She remembered This detail.
Then there was a sound of "bang", followed by a short sound of "uh huh", and finally the sound of dragging the bag away. These three sudden sounds scared Nicole so much that she almost lost her grip on her phone and dropped it. on the ground.
When she held the phone firmly, the rumble of a car engine and the sound of driving soon came from the receiver.
She could even make up a picture in her mind:
A man in a hooded coat walked in front of the car window and knocked on the window. The guy who was talking on the phone was annoyed that the conversation was interrupted, so he could only roll down the window to ask what was going on, and then he was punched. Unable to defend himself, he was knocked unconscious and finally moved to the passenger seat. The man in the coat took over the steering wheel, started the car and drove away.
Thinking of this, she asked softly on the phone: "Aiden?"
…
