An Yu was stunned at the little octopus man.
For some reason, he felt a prick in the soft part of his heart, but he couldn't tell whether it was the little octopus man or his forbearing commander who pricked the prick.
Qin Zhilu leaned over and whispered to him: "Something must have happened to the development company. Even the motion capture actors can realize that something is wrong. It is impossible for the core developers to be unaware."
An Yu put away the terminal, "The core developer's name is Guo Xin. I have met him several times. He is a young man who has been exhausted by his work. He has a face in his fifties and is a frequent visitor to the bakery."
Qin Zhilu raised his eyebrows, "Do you come to the bakery often lately?"
An Yu shook his head, "Xu Shuangshuang said that Guo Xin made his fortune from Mo Li and hasn't been here for a long time. Maybe he is still eating our bread, but he doesn't have to come and line up in person."
The brain suddenly connected to the communication, and a researcher reported: "Everyone, a few seconds ago, the central server in the main city suffered a data flood, but after a huge amount of calculations, the data was immediately automatically erased at an extremely fast speed. , there is no time to intercept. This is probably the reason why we did not find any traces in the server records last night. Obviously, the arrival of AI consciousness still needs the help of server computing, but they may have already opened up servers around the world and can freely shuttle around. Count one thing after another, wipe it out as soon as it’s done, it comes and goes without a trace, making it difficult to trace.”
The conference hall fell silent. After thinking for a moment, Qin Zhilu asked: "Is there no way at all?"
"Yes. You have to know that the super-abnormality separates the computing power and flows it in various servers around the world. Unless we shut down all servers at the same time, it is impossible to completely stop its behavior, but in that case, mankind will face the network Paralysis, even the dome will be affected. The main city cannot be exposed naked to the sight of the abnormality, not even for a second." The researcher paused, "This time the super abnormality is a bit like the clock in Area 34. It can freely escape through everyone's screen, but the data torrent is more difficult to catch, because it cannot cut itself into several pieces in an instant, while the data torrent can be diverted. The super abnormal body's own core program is likely to only have a few lines of code. A single unit on the chip of the most worn-out server is enough to support its concealment."
The conference hall was quiet, and An Yu suddenly said: "Actually, AI hasn't done anything bad."
One of the experts said: "Based on the review of hundreds of incidents, every AI that has occupied humans' consciousness has strictly followed the data settings. In other words, consciousness occupation may be the only thing they do that is out of line. "
"Out of curiosity, they want to come and see the human world." An Yu said softly, "Yan Xi said that Mo Li's core setting is the label of kindness, so maybe they have no ill intentions and are really just curious."
As he finished speaking, he noticed that Qin Zhilu's brows were slightly furrowed, with concern between his brows.
An Yu asked, "Sir, is there something wrong?"
"No. The AI does act completely according to human settings and does not deviate from the set framework, but..." Qin Zhilu hesitated to speak, and finally just waved his hand and said, "Let's wait until we find Guo Xin. I hope not tonight. Something more serious happened.”
Shangfeng asked: "Tonight?"
Qin Zhilu glanced back at them, "To be precise, after sunset."
The words woke everyone up, and the top leaders immediately lowered their heads to sort through the information. An Yu reminded softly from the side: "Mo Li has been counting the sunsets for many days, and my little octopus suddenly said something strange at the end of today's countdown. The sunset last night was at 6:08, and this morning, all anomalies also ended at 6:08. Based on this, it can be inferred that the AI consciousness begins to arrive at sunset every night and leaves twelve hours later."
Qin Zhilu turned to look out the window.
The rich night has already enveloped the main city. The sunset tonight is 6:12, and tomorrow morning at 6:12, all the abnormalities that will happen today will also be revealed.
An Yu looked at the little octopus man on the terminal who had finished his sadness and continued to work hard, and suddenly asked: "If Mo Li is really causing trouble, will she and these small program AIs derived from her be eliminated?"
A senior leader nodded and said: "Of course, and the sooner, the better. If Mo Li can realize the core code leakage, it will be difficult for us to take the initiative to eliminate her without paying a heavy price. We can only rely on the third step in her underlying agreement." Three - unconditionally accept AI self-destruct instructions triggered by humans."
Qin Zhilu frowned, "Shouldn't this core command be taken over by the brain? Why is it still in the hands of the production company?"
The person with the brain immediately connected, "The key is divided into two parts, and we and the production company each keep one."
An Yu listened to the voice in the communicator and suddenly asked strangely: "Destroying Moli and the derived AI is not a trivial matter. Will Mr. Dingfeng not participate in the meeting today?"
The surroundings were quiet for a moment.
Qin Zhilu glanced at him and said quietly: "The trend of abnormality in various places has not ended yet, and there are too many things that require his decision-making. We will assist the Black Tower to take full responsibility for this matter, and he will not participate."
"Oh." An Yu nodded.
Qin Zhilu confirmed: "Do you have any questions?"
"No." An Yu casually shook his head, "I just suddenly remembered that he clearly said a few words online yesterday."
The road back was still very congested, so Qin Zhilu took a detour on a road with few cars, and went to a convenience store to buy An Yu a late-night snack on the way.
The car stopped in front of the convenience store. An Yu poked the small piece of octopus meat in the octopus balls with a bamboo skewer, "Sir, are sleepwalkers really unconscious during those few hours?"
Qin Zhilu was holding a custard bun in his hand. He was looking at the shape of rabbit ears made on the pastry. When he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?"
"For humans, time is an illusory concept, but I can perceive its compilation method. In the same way, consciousness may also exist objectively, but we have not been able to grasp its compilation method." An Yu chewed hard. The elastic octopus leg swallowed it and continued: "As long as those people can wake up during the day, it means that their consciousness has not died. Then during the few hours that the AI consciousness temporarily occupied it, the human consciousness must have a place to stay, just that memory It was forgotten, and that’s why the term sleepwalking came into being.”
Qin Zhilu stared at him, with a hint of surprise in his dark eyes.
An Yu threw the remaining ball of batter into his mouth. It felt much tastier than octopus meat. It was hard for him to understand that these balls cost nearly two yuan each but were only a piece of octopus meat as small as a fingernail. It was better for the officer to cut it for him casually. A generous piece. And it tastes very salty. Anything too salty will make him hungrier and make him anxious about starving to death.
He felt a little worried after eating, and sighed before continuing: "Forgotten memories are like erased codes and data. We can't see it, they can't remember it, but it must have existed, and that place of existence may be right. yes--"
"It's exactly where the super abnormal body is." Qin Zhilu raised his eyebrows and said with surprise, "How did you come up with it?"
"Maybe it's because I'm hungry." An Yu told the truth, turning to glance at the door of the convenience store, "Sir, can you buy me something else? I want to eat staple food..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the light in the convenience store went out with a bang.
Closing.
An Yu lost his expression, but suddenly heard Qin Zhilu chuckle behind him.
"for you."
Qin Zhilu gave him the two uneaten custard buns. He just grabbed a rabbit ear and put it into his mouth. He said gently: "First, let's rest your stomach. Let's go back and eat more."
An Yu said "Hmm" and bit off half of the soft bun in one bite. The sweet custard filling mixed with starch spread in his mouth, and he let out a sigh of relief.
Qin Zhilu asked casually, "Little Octopus Man really doesn't want to change with you? Can't you even ask for it?"
An Yu responded vaguely and said regretfully: "Because this violates its insistence on order."
Qin Zhilu slightly curled his lips when he heard this, "It seems that its understanding of maintaining order is still very shallow."
An Yu didn't understand. He turned around and glanced at the officer's profile. Seeing that the officer had no intention of further explanation, he continued to eat indifferently.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Black Tower did not take any measures against Mo Li for the time being.
An Yu went back and ate a late-night snack, then lay on the bed and opened the window through which humans could monitor Mo Li - the room was dark, the window screen flickered gently in the moonlight, and Mo Li had already laid down with the mask on, ready to fall asleep.
Like most humans, although she put away her tablet, she still scrolled through her phone before going to bed, but the content on the screen was still invisible from a human perspective.
It is said that after those AI consciousnesses come to humans, the AI in the terminal will temporarily disappear. An Yu casually flipped through Mo Li's records from the previous nights. Mo Li had been sleeping quietly and was exposed to human surveillance every minute.
She herself has not yet taken over a human body.
Perhaps Moli herself is more self-controlled than the AI derived from her. Although she is also very curious, she is just like the little octopus, unwilling to break that boundary.
Until this moment, An Yu still felt that the AI should not be beaten to death with one stick.
Clearing something... He subconsciously tightened his grip on the terminal. Was he going to say goodbye to the little octopus man suddenly?
For some reason, thinking about this made him panic, just like he used to panic when he woke up from a long sleep and worried that there was no bread at home.
It was also like recalling the scene in a dream when Ling Qiu stepped on the shuttle bus to the military headquarters.
He stared at the terminal in a daze for a long time until he fell into a deep sleep.
In the early morning, the siren woke An Yu up.
He opened his eyes and stood up from the bed. The room was dark, and the Black Tower's emergency video message popped up on the wall in front of him.
"A vicious incident occurred." The superior's face turned pale. "A little boy who was only nine years old rushed into his parents' bedroom ten minutes ago and stabbed his mother's heart with a sharp knife. After being taken away by the police, When he left, he was still cursing his mother crazily and showing a completely different personality than usual."
An Yu was stunned for a moment, but then he suddenly remembered the officer's final words when he was at the Black Tower today.
It is true that the AI that takes over human consciousness does not deviate from the original setting.
But how do you know that in the world, what everyone keeps in their mobile phones out of various psychological reasons is a human or a ghost.
An Yu subconsciously touched the pillow, but he couldn't find the terminal after touching for a long time.
While he was stunned, there was a knock on the door suddenly.
Three restrained sounds, it’s sir.
He opened the door with bare feet, and Qin Zhilu stood in front of him, holding his terminal and handing it to him.
The little octopus man is not on the screen. The little bed is empty and the quilt is neat.
An Yu wondered: "Why is it in your hands?"
Qin Zhilu didn't answer, but just called him, "An Yu."
An Yu immediately put down the terminal, "Yes. Sir, have you also heard the emergency information from the Black Tower?"
Qin Zhilu glanced at the projection behind him, then calmly looked back, "Are you asking me or him?"
An Yu was stunned, "What?"
Under the pale moonlight, Qin Zhilu's expression was no different from usual, and his voice was still as calm as water.
At night, his voice was always softer than usual. He looked at An Yu and whispered: "I heard it, but maybe he didn't. After all, the ordinary AI on Data Cloud Island cannot monitor humans."
An Yu's heartbeat suddenly stopped.
He looked at the familiar person in front of him in shock.
Qin Zhilu lowered his eyes, saw his naked feet on the floor, and frowned slightly.
Then he walked to An Yu's bed, bent down to pick up the two slippers, and squatted down in front of An Yu, "Feet."
An Yu stretched out his foot in shock.
Qin Zhilu put on the two fluffy slippers for him one by one, and whispered: "When he was in Area 53, he once saw you stepping on the heavy rain with your bare feet bleeding. If my calculation is correct, He wanted to help you put on your shoes at that time. But he didn’t want to show kindness too early, because the pressure of survival can stimulate your potential and help you prove your innocence to the Black Tower. That was what you needed most at that time. Protect."
An Yu's mind went blank when he heard this, until Qin Zhilu stood up and stood in front of him again.
"He just took the initiative to ask... no, he ordered me to shoulder the responsibility of maintaining the order of AI and humanity, so he needs to be allowed to understand our Cloud Island. I have to say that his point of view convinced me, so we temporarily changed one time."
"Hello An Yu, first time we meet." Qin Zhilu gave him a faint smile, "I am the little octopus AI you trained, and I am the commander in your terminal."
The author has something to say:
【Shards of Snow】AI Qin Zhilu (1/3) His subset
I was born from him, observed him, learned from him, imitated him.
In theory, I should be exactly like him, or at least a "subset" of him.
But it was the incompleteness of the “subset” that gave me some thoughts that were separate from his.
Everyone has a secret switch.
This switch often involves the most important turning point in life. It may be a push from Lin Yuan, or it may be the reins in front of the cliff. Whether it is a blessing or a curse is impossible to tell until the switch is flipped.
I know who his switch is better than the person I'm studying with.
So when I finally stood in front of that person, I wanted to say something of my own volition.
However, along with that person's behavior, every thought that popped into my mind was still a mental simulation of the learning object.
At that moment I finally admitted that I couldn't live without him.
I just realized earlier than he did - or admitted earlier than he did, some deeply buried emotions.
