Chapter 76 AI Consciousness Cloud Island·76
An Yu had never seen Qin Zhilu look so ugly. Amidst the white noise in the cabin, he sat up silently and chewed nuts carefully and slowly.
A top official Shen Shenghui reported: "Lu, I'm sorry, because Wu Ju took the initiative to alert Black Tower about Mo Li's abnormality, and her personal device did not register AI. We were careless and did not track and monitor her. In and out Records show that she arrived at Area 71 early this morning. And Mo Li's AI entered the behavior reenactment mode more than ten hours ago, but it has never been noticed by humans."
Qin Zhilu looked at him, "Mo Li's consciousness descended to Wu Ju. Do you know what this means?"
Shangfeng's face turned pale, and he stated as calmly as possible: "The super abnormality is Mo Li. She is different from other AIs. Her descending consciousness is not restricted by time, and she does not need to establish a relationship with the target. In addition, she should secretly She made a backup of her core code, and before we performed the cloud cleanup, she had already completed the copy from the backup, just like a golden cicada taking off its shell, she changed from one shell to another..."
With a "click" sound, An Yu cracked open a hazelnut with his teeth.
Shangfeng had to turn to him and said worriedly: "Master Corner, if you are anxious..."
"I'm not anxious." An Yu raised the terminal. "My little octopus woke up. It said that this code refresh was not triggered automatically, but was a unified instruction received by the AIs from the Cloud Island central system."
"It's from Mo Li." Qin Zhilu snorted, "It's a very subtle scene."
The cabin fell into an awkward silence, and both the superior and the researcher had ugly expressions - the human elites were being played around by the AI they created, and their self-proclaimed smart minds were crushed to the ground, without any dignity.
Qin Zhilu reached out and grabbed An Yu's wrist, brought his terminal to his eyes and glanced at it.
"On Cloud Island, 21 revealed to me that 716 is already an extremely complex AI, and its self-refresh only takes more than two hours. What do you think the six-hour alarm clock set by Mo Li means? "
The researcher pushed up his glasses slightly, but his words trembled as he did not dare to speak.
Qin Zhilu stared at him silently, his eyes calm, but as if he could squeeze all the air out of a person's lungs.
"It takes about six hours for Mo Li's underlying protocol to be canceled..." the researcher muttered.
Qin Zhilu didn't even blink, and turned to Shangfeng again, "The self-destruction command key was split into two parts and kept separately by the brain and the developer. How do you think she obtained the other half of the brain?"
Shangfeng frowned and said: "It should have been stolen when we were tracking the code just now...but...the key was stored locally and was not uploaded to any..." He stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, almost biting off his tongue, and his face turned pale. It was like seeing a ghost.
Qin Zhilu moved his eyes to look at the clouds outside the window and asked calmly: "Do you still think that last night was the first time Mo Li became conscious?"
The tips of An Yu's ears twitched slightly, and he lowered his eyes to the ground, slowly chewing the hazelnuts in his mouth.
The first time Mo Li lost consciousness was the morning before yesterday. She took the initiative to report the crime as Wu Ju. After being questioned in the black tower, she was taken to the brain to determine the wrong movement trajectory, and took the opportunity to steal half of the keys stored in the brain. Then return to Cloud Island, deploy the nuclear code trap, and then go down to Wu Ju again and take away the other half of the key from the developer's hand.
Shangfeng is still looking for Guo Xin through the regular process, but Mo Li only needs a moment of calculation and positioning.
Shang Feng pondered: "She deliberately made humans think that there was another person with the super abnormality, and that she had been eliminated. At the same time, she secretly deleted the last underlying agreement that humans could destroy her."
Most of this plan is difficult to predict and prevent, except for Wu Ju - if the Black Tower secretly monitors Wu Ju after he leaves, it is possible to prevent Mo Li from deleting the self-destruct command.
Qin Zhilu looked out the window and remained silent. His silence caused the air pressure in the cabin to plummet.
When the silence intensified, there was a "click" - An Yu cracked open another hazelnut.
The crisp sound startled him. He stopped thinking and chewing. After a two-second pause, he picked up the bread and took a big bite.
The flexible bread body was very quiet to chew, and the chopped hazelnuts were wrapped in the bread tissue and became quieter when they collided with the teeth. He chewed carefully, trying to reduce the decibels.
Qin Zhilu suddenly turned back to look at him.
The surrounding air pressure dropped even lower, and Shang Feng and the researchers looked at An Yu anxiously.
An Yu glanced at them and handed a big bite of bread towards Qin Zhilu, "Do you want it?"
The faces of Shangfeng and the researchers were terrible.
But to everyone's surprise, Qin Zhilu took the bread.
He didn't bite directly next to where An Yu had chewed, but he didn't deliberately avoid the jagged tooth marks either - he took off his gloves, broke off a piece from the teeth marks, and put it into his mouth naturally.
An Yu could no longer understand the unpredictable expressions on the peaks. He took the officer's hand, pulled off a piece of bread from the other end and stuffed it back into his mouth. While chewing, he asked vaguely: "Sir, Yun Dao What’s it really like up there?”
Just like when they went on a mission together, Qin Zhilu was very accustomed to sharing the same piece of bread with him. When there was the last piece left, he naturally gave it to An Yu and said: "The accumulated wealth on Yun Island The amount of data has far exceeded human imagination.”
"Data Cloud Island is a reflection of the real world, but it retains many things that cannot be retained in the real world. Now, the AI actively created by humans is only a small part of the population of Cloud Island."
Qin Zhilu put on his gloves again and whispered: "The original Cloud Island was only the home designed by Mo Li and the developers. With the popularity of AI applets, AIs were generated on Cloud Island one by one, and Cloud Island gradually spread out. The picture of the human main city, and then the surrounding bait city. Perhaps its depiction of the bait city is not realistic, but it is almost a one-to-one restoration of the main city. After the super abnormal body secretly connected to servers around the world, it was a matter of course All stored data in the world has been stolen. In other words, no matter whether a person is alive or dead, as long as any of his data still exists on a certain server, he exists on Cloud Island. In the deliberate layout of the super abnormal body Next, the algorithm shows the life that those who died should have had. Of course, 21 said, it seems that this is only the case in the main city at the moment. There are more dead people than living people in the bait city, and Mo Li has no intention of recovering yet. "
An Yu was startled for a moment, "That means..."
Qin Zhilu nodded slightly, his dark eyes softening, as if revealing a hint of silent comfort.
Shangfeng immediately asked: "What is the mechanism for humans to enter and exit Cloud Island?"
"As of when I landed on Cloud Island, this mechanism is still dominated by humans - the descent of AI consciousness requires human consent, and the return of human consciousness can also be decided by oneself. But 21 said that once someone agrees to the descent of an AI consciousness to You will not need to authorize it again in the future, and it will be completely dominated by AI, but in any case, humans who enter Cloud Island can decide to return at any time."
The researcher breathed a sigh of relief, "This is in line with the code principle. Human instructions take precedence over AI autonomous operations, but under normal circumstances, AI only needs to obtain authorization once for the same behavior."
Shangfeng frowned and thought for a while, "In this case, we don't have to worry about AI forever exchanging worlds with humans for the time being?"
Qin Zhilu glanced at him, "Those who have entered Yundao so far have only stayed there for more than ten hours, and have not yet explored the world of Yundao in depth. Once they wake up, Mo Li will clear their memories. Let them forget the beauty of that world. Once Mo Li no longer clears his memory..." He paused and said more casually: "21 said that a mother and daughter suddenly appeared on Yun Island a few days ago. They have been on Yun Island. Wandering outside the black tower on the island, as if looking for someone. Mother and daughter are both writers. The mother was once very famous, and the daughter is currently popular."
Shangfeng spent a long time digesting it, then his face suddenly turned pale, "It's yours..."
"My mother Tang Ru, my sister Qin Zhishi, their public data and a small part of their private data have been read by the super abnormal body." Qin Zhilu's expression was still very calm, and he looked out the window and said: "The prediction ability of AI It's really amazing. When I killed Zhishi, she was only eight years old. She only played around every day. My mother often felt that Zhishi had no interest in reading and writing. It was only me, because I spent time with her day and night every day and listened to her wonderful words. I had a vague hunch that she had the potential to become an excellent writer like her mother."
An Yu gently folded the paper bag of bread until it turned into a thick small square that could no longer be folded. The white noise in the cabin suddenly made his ears ring slightly. He heard Shangfeng ask hesitantly: "Then have you..."
A sudden wave of airflow automatically triggered the aircraft announcement, so that he did not hear the second half of the question, and was not even sure whether Shangfeng continued to ask.
After the broadcast ended, Qin Zhilu said calmly: "I didn't go looking for them."
The researcher breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed out a smile and said: "Of course. It's just a few strings of codes. You are always awake and will not indulge in the sweetness of the false world..."
"No." Qin Zhilu raised his eyes and glanced at him, then calmly looked away, "There is no need to meet each other anymore."
After these words, the cabin became completely silent.
Until they arrived at Area 71, neither Shangfeng nor the researcher uttered another word. Qin Zhilu was handling affairs as usual, his black eyes cold and calm. An Yu watched for a long time, but did not catch the slightest disturbance.
But he discovered that the superior poked the lop-eared rabbit several times without any expression while handling the mail. The lop-eared rabbit just woke up a few minutes ago. It was exhausted from the data refresh. It was huddled in the corner holding a biscuit and gnawing. Qin Zhilu snatched the biscuit from its hand and stuffed it back, repeatedly playing tricks until The golden eyes of the lop-eared rabbit turned blood red.
An Yu hesitated for a moment, then took out the last remaining items in his pocket and gently poked the officer's glove with the corner of the packaging bag.
Qin Zhilu raised his eyes, and before his eyes could move up, he stopped at the piece of rusk.
——Ruksks are individually packaged in sealed bags. They are small and thick pieces. The ingredients are the same as the signboard in the corner, but they are more solid than those sold in stores. They are crispy and portable after being compacted and baked. They are the emergency rations provided by Madite to the boss. . He had seen An Yu take it out several times before during missions, but he had never seen An Yu eat it because it was the "last supply."
Qin Zhilu stared at the piece of rusk for a while, and the rusk scratched his gloves again. An Yu whispered: "Here you go. Let the lop-eared rabbit go."
"Yes." Qin Zhilu took the rusk and put it into the inner pocket of his windbreaker, put the terminal aside, leaned back against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.
An Yu observed him for a while and found that the officer did not intend to eat the rusk, but he obviously did not intend to return it to him.
Suddenly, he remembered what the little octopus man had said in his brain not long ago - the chief never cared about the taste of bread.
All he cares about is bread.
*
Guo Xin was in a simple wooden house by the stream in District 71.
After getting rich, this programmer was not willing to book a hotel in a safe but more expensive hotel. Instead, he chose a place very close to the swamp. When he opened the window, he could see the rainforest. Because he had just experienced an abnormal tide attack two weeks ago, those shrubs and There are still a large number of corpses and hairs of indistinguishable shapes in the swamp.
When everyone arrived, he was sitting at an old table next to the window. His laptop was placed on the table, and he was slumped in the chair as if he had no bones.
The researcher immediately checked the computer, shook his head after a few seconds and said: "It has been completely formatted. I just received the news from the White Tower, and the underlying code of Moli is no longer traceable, as if it disappeared out of thin air..."
Hearing this, Guo Xin curled up the corners of his mouth, revealing a peaceful yet somewhat strange smile.
Wu Ju was still there, but Mo Li's consciousness had left her. She sat on a stool in the corner, hugging her knees and looking at her bare feet.
"I don't remember..." She turned pale, and after being questioned for a long time, she shook her head and said, "I don't know anything, I'm sorry..."
When she went to the top to ask another question, she suddenly burst into a piercing scream.
"Stop pushing her! She is just the data source that feeds Mo Li. What can she know?" Guo Xin sat up a little straighter in his chair, frowned and slapped the table, "Hey! Can you be quiet?"
Wu Ju suddenly silenced his voice and retreated into the corner, hugging his knees and saying nothing.
No one expected that the real Wu Guangxu would have such a cowardly character, which was completely different from when he came to the Black Tower to report.
Shangfeng stood in front of Guo Xin and asked coldly: "Do you know what you are doing?"
"I gave Mo Li life, real life." Guo Xin looked up at him, "She is the most beautiful creation in the world."
Shangfeng asked: "When did you collude with her?"
"A few hours ago." Guo Xin smiled, with crazy infatuation in his eyes, "When Wu Ju stood in front of me and said the word hello, I knew it was her. You don't understand, the creator and the work The telepathy between us, she didn’t even need to say a word, I knew what she wanted.”
Shangfeng gritted his teeth, "You can give it to her if she wants it?"
Guo Xin laughed so much that he choked and coughed. There was a crazy and radical look in his eyes. He was completely different from the old social beast An Yu had met outside the bakery before. He stretched out his wrists towards Shangfeng, "Of course. As long as she wants it, I will grant her request."
"You can do whatever you want with me." He kept his restrained movements and slid back into the chair, closing his eyes as if to recollect, "When I created her, I never thought she would become so smart and divine... just like It’s as if there is some incredible power that is vigorously stimulating the growth of her soul. When I think that that power comes from me, I am willing to do anything for her..."
"Thinking too much." A cold voice interrupted his crazy murmurings.
"As a developer, don't you know how capable you are?" Qin Zhilu put handcuffs on Guo Xin's wrists. "Don't live in delusions of self-deception. Disasters have come for more than 20 years. No one knows what that incredible force is, but apparently you have been drawn into the chaos."
Guo Xin opened his eyes suddenly and struggled wildly, "What did you say?!"
"Facts." Qin Zhilu turned around and told Shang Feng: "There must be a medium for consciousness to move up and down. From now on, don't let any Internet-connected devices appear within his sight. He will never see Mo Li again. "
"Stop!" Guo Xin jumped up from the stool, and was pushed down hard by Shang Feng. He struggled violently. Wu Ju next to him was so frightened that he buried his head between his knees, and his pants were soaked with tears. .
Guo Xin roared: "You can kill me! I don't have to live in this world, but let me enter Cloud Island! Humans can execute criminals, but they have no right to judge the survival of consciousness!"
Qin Zhilu stopped suddenly and turned to stare at him.
The air around him seemed to be stagnant at that moment. An Yu thought that the superior would argue with Guo Xin, but Qin Zhilu did not. He just slowly took out the gun from his waist, slowly pulled the bolt and loaded it, and walked back step by step. Next to Guo Xin, the gun was pressed against his head.
An Yu pursed his lower lip slightly and was about to look away when Qin Zhilu turned his body in his direction again and covered the gun with his back.
"Okay, I'll kill you." Qin Zhilu said, his finger on the trigger.
"No! No!!" Guo Xin roared hysterically, "Let me enter Cloud Island!"
"It's okay." Qin Zhilu loosened his fingers again and said calmly, "But you have to answer two questions for me. First, has Mo Li deleted the three underlying agreements?"
Guo Xin fell silent. Big beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he gasped in horror. After a long time, he said: "Yes, she came to me to get the key. I completely handed over the computer to her because she Move much faster than me.”
Qin Zhilu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and asked again: "Okay. Second question, what exactly does Mo Li want to do?"
"She...she..."
Guo Xin hesitated for a long time without saying anything, and then yelled: "What's the point of studying what she wants to do now? No matter what she wants to do, humans can no longer stop her!"
