An Yu pondered for a long time and protested tactfully: "I don't feel equal. Your species seems to be much more advanced than mine."
Qin Zhilu raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and grabbed his ears, "Bear it."
An Yu took a step forward in silence, but found himself jumping.
He immediately stopped, stretched out his other hind leg stiffly, stretched it forward, and slowly landed on the ground tentatively.
The moment he landed, he couldn't resist his instinct and jumped up again.
"..."
Suddenly a few chuckles came from beside him. When he turned his head, Qin Zhilu's eyes were full of smiles.
A frank smile reached his eyes. Neither the human Qin Zhilu nor the little octopus man on the terminal had ever smiled like this.
An Yu was stunned for a moment, "You..."
"Need help?" Qin Zhilu reached out to him.
An Yu stared at the hand blankly, then looked down at his furry claws and four thick claws.
Qin Zhilu grabbed his paw and stretched out a tentacle at the same time, wrapping it around his paw twice. "Let's go. I'll repay you by baking two loaves of bread when I get back."
"..." An Yu tried hard to resist the rabbit instinct of lowering his head and rubbing his face wildly when he collapsed, "Thank you then."
Qin Zhilu raised his lips again, "You're welcome."
No one knows how long Mo Li will stay in the real world. If the female college student who bought a day's rations is really her, then An Yu and Qin Zhilu will have at least one day to find the nuclear code hidden on Yun Island.
Cloud Island is almost exactly the same as the main city. The biggest difference is that there are many cartoon people like them on the street. Ordinary humans seem not to be surprised by these strange creatures and do not interfere with each other.
"Cartoon people must be AI set by humans, but ordinary humans are not necessarily." Qin Zhilu paused, "But 21 told me that most ordinary humans appeared in batches recently, and they are all based on human beings by Mo Li. AI newly created from historical data.”
He pulled An Yu's paw across the road and glanced at the cartoon people on the street. "Looking around, the cartoon people with abnormal expressions are basically real human beings who are being occupied by consciousness at this moment. They seem to be more numerous than the last time I logged in." A lot."
An Yu whispered: "It's really useless to cut off the Internet."
"We only blocked the civilian network band." Qin Zhilu said calmly: "But people, especially the people in the main city, live under the dome and are themselves enveloped by the dome network. It is impossible to close the dome."
"But they have all been told not to agree to any request from the AI."
Qin Zhilu pondered: "The three underlying protocols have been deleted, and these small program AIs may no longer need to obey human instructions."
An Yu kept walking forward in silence. Qin Zhilu suddenly smiled and said, "You know, when you purse your lips now, your three-petal mouth is moving."
"..." An Yu turned to look at him blankly, "Do you have any further articles?"
"It makes you want to feed you a cookie."
An Yu resisted the urge to purse his lips again, "What about the cookies?"
He originally thought that the officer must not have it, but unexpectedly Qin Zhilu bent a tentacle, took out a biscuit from his pocket with ease, opened it and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
An Yu took off the cookies and said in surprise: "I didn't set up the little octopus man to carry cookies with him."
Qin Zhiluyun explained calmly: "It learned some ways to get along with 21 when it came to my terminal before. It is indeed a good habit to bring some bread and biscuits with you. Is it delicious?"
An Yu was stunned for a moment before stuffing the cookie into his mouth and saying habitually: "It's delicious."
"Lying." Qin Zhilu immediately exposed it, "There is no taste in eating here."
"..." An Yu turned back stiffly, swallowed the biscuit whole, and said, "So you know about your previous flaw."
Qin Zhilu curled his lips and said, "Xide said that it is the chief's prerogative to occasionally tease the person under supervision."
The main city on Cloud Island has a larger population than the real world. Trying to find the person who Mo Li used to back up the core code here is like looking for a needle in a haystack. And according to 716's analysis, the target may not even know that he has Mo Li's backup stored there. .
As An Yu walked, two lines of text suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
-My name is 716, and I’m contacting you using Qin Zhilu’s terminal.
-I want to enable AI to call the front camera so that you and Qin Zhilu can see 21 and me. Is that okay?
An Yu was stunned for a while before he reacted, and said hesitantly: "Whether it's in the real world or on Yun Island, you don't need to ask for my confirmation for anything you do now."
-That's true, but I am the AI you created. The AI world falling into chaos does not excuse me from breaking the order too.
An Yu subconsciously looked at Qin Zhilu beside him. Qin Zhilu's expression was still very calm, as if he didn't have any praise for 716's self-discipline. He just said: "You can call the front camera."
-Sorry, I can only follow An Yu's instructions.
Qin Zhilu glanced at the line of words floating in the air, and then looked at An Yu.
An Yu came to his senses and said quickly: "It can be turned on."
The next moment, a small screen appeared in front of him and Qin Zhilu. His familiar "chief" was sitting in front of the screen with a serious face, while "himself" was huddled in the far corner, hugging his knees. Sitting motionless.
Qin Zhilu looked at the corner and warned: "21, try to be more natural when you go to the bakery later, follow 716 closely, you don't have to talk to anyone, but you can't huddle in the corner, and don't hurt yourself, okay? ?”
21 nodded slightly.
-I'll try my best, sir.
Qin Zhilu nodded and softened his tone, "Very good, you can do it."
An Yu opened his mouth several times, but in the end he said nothing.
He didn't know what he wanted to say. He was a little confused, and a strange feeling hit him.
New words appeared in front of me.
-Don't be surprised, just get used to it. According to my observation, his patience with 21 is second only to yours.
An Yu said: "I'm not surprised, I'm just not used to it yet."
-It doesn't matter. It's strange to see myself interacting with 21 from a human perspective. For example, I haven't pulled 21's claws yet, but I will try to adapt.
After An Yu finished reading those few lines of small words, he looked down at the hand holding him.
The strange feeling hit him again.
Qin Zhilu ignored his confusion and continued to walk forward. As he walked, he and 716 seriously analyzed the identity of the possible backup.
-Moli is an extremely complex AI. No matter how perfect the core code is, it will not be short in order to ensure the necessary functions. So I suggest you give priority to screening AIs that behave clumsily or even think stupidly, because that means they may contain redundant code that is not part of their own functions, slowing down their reaction speed.
"A very reasonable inference." Qin Zhilu commented: "Maybe I should also eliminate all cartoon AI."
716 thought for a while before answering.
-Yes, if I were Mo Li, I would definitely not choose any AI that is likely to be exchanged with humans in the real world - it is more reliable to hide the backup in the AI that I created, and they are completely immune to human interference.
"But now there are AIs created by her everywhere." An Yu whispered, trying to suppress the urge to jump up and down, which made him walk very uncomfortable. He looked around, "And among these people, There were too many that seemed insensitive.”
-After all, the vast majority of dead people only retain a small part of their data. Even if the AI can deduce itself during learning, it will take longer.
Qin Zhilu thought: "She must find an AI that is low-key and is expected to be safe and sound for a long time to carry her backup. By the way, is the AI she created free to perform in this world?"
-Yes, she just read human historical data to create. This is a batch behavior. It is impossible to re-add settings for each AI. It would be too time-consuming and easy to cause chaos.
"In other words, the created AIs will also build complex social networks among themselves."
-Yes.
Qin Zhilu analyzed: "That is much simpler. Under the premise of ensuring lifespan, the target cannot be involved in entanglements and must be able to establish itself safely in the main city. Therefore, it needs to have a stable way of making a living, but it must exclude celebrities who are too high-profile. Rich businessman. It needs to have a certain self-defense ability and social status, and ordinary people will not want to provoke it. Its own mood must be stable, so it will not actively look for trouble. Under the most ideal conditions, it is best to have no relatives or partners in the main city. Alone, without worries. In addition, there is another major premise - it was once a young man in the main city who died in the real world."
An Yu's steps suddenly stopped.
Almost at the same time, Qin Zhilu also looked towards him, frowning slightly.
Half an hour later, An Yu appeared at a familiar street corner.
The decoration and furnishings in his bakery have returned to their former glory, and the boss sitting behind the counter has also changed back to the plump middle-aged woman.
716 pop-up message.
- Under the premise of not conflicting with human-set AI, Moli basically restored everyone in the real world on Cloud Island, but without you, because the public information related to you is only the identity of the bakery owner, which involves a lot of behavior The data of personality exists in the core secret area of the brain, and she has not yet been able to touch it. She may know that 21 contains part of your data, but Qin Zhilu feeds 21 too little data, causing 21’s behavior to be greatly separated from your current identity as a bakery owner, making it difficult to integrate.
Qin Zhilu asked: "Is there another me on Yun Island?"
716 seemed to hesitate for a while.
-Sorry, I'm not sure. Although a large amount of your data also exists in the core confidential area of the brain, you have rich historical data on the public domain network. In theory, Mo Li does have the ability to create another you. Moreover, Tang Ru and Qin Zhishi, who suddenly appeared a while ago, did go to the Black Tower many times to request to see someone.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you have it or not." Qin Zhilu looked calm, "It's better to have it. There's nothing wrong with having an AI on Cloud Island that resists Mo Li."
An Yu never joined the discussion, just stood near the store door and looked at the scene inside.
The setting of the bakery followed the owner. Now it is no longer called "Corner Bakery", but its former name of "Time-honored Hope Bread". The plaque reminded him of the first time he stood in this brightly lit bakery a few months ago. When everyone was at a loss in the shop, the proprietress smiled wistfully: "Five kilometers to the south is the military headquarters cabin. Those young men like to run at night for extra training. They came all the way from the cabin to my place and robbed all the bread... It’s really edible, but I can’t even feed them. But if there is bread, there is hope…”
The main city on Yun Island also quietly ushered in nightfall. The bakery was brightly lit. Through the glass window, An Yu looked at the wall covered with photos of customers. In the real world, he treasured the photos of Ling Qiu and his comrades. Back to the wall.
The sound of a procession in the distance brought him back to his senses. He stood at one end of the long street and looked back. A group of men in military uniforms were shouting and running towards this side from the other end. Those black vests were tied into military trousers, and the muscles on their arms were still vivid in the night. Every move revealed the full arrogance of a young sergeant.
An Yu's heartbeat seemed to have stopped for a moment.
He felt that he heard a familiar voice in the deafening shouts. At a glance, there were even a few faces that vaguely overlapped with those of his comrades from the same period in Ling Qiu's group photo, but he did not see the unique, washed piece of clothing in the group photo. A gray vest.
"He's inside." Qin Zhilu said suddenly.
An Yu was stunned, "Where is it?"
"That." Qin Zhilu held his hand and pointed to the figure on the outside of the team, "Don't forget, the dead people here are also deduced according to the real world time."
The person on the outermost side of the team turned his back and ran, explaining something to the others as he ran.
He was the only one wearing a military jacket, and the only one with officer's shoulder insignia and trousers tag.
"Military #215001, Ling Qiu, lieutenant colonel." Qin Zhilu paused slightly, then smiled lightly and said, "According to real world calculations, it has been just eight months since he finished the recruit training. How many levels has he been promoted to?"
An Yu froze on the spot and allowed Qin Zhilu to drag him and point to the people next to him, "Look at those at the same time, most of them were only promoted from reserve sergeants to full sergeants, and the highest one was only a second lieutenant. I didn't expect the AI system After calculation, Ling Qiu's historical data was used to reconstruct the trajectory of another person."
An Yu's brain seemed to have been drained. He took a long time to look away from the graceful running back and looked at the officer, "Another person?"
"Tang Feng." Qin Zhilu stared at Ling Qiu's back, "I introduced you to the youngest elite colonel in the history of the military. He became a lieutenant colonel when he joined the army for nearly a year. He was promoted to colonel after one year and was promoted to colonel the following year. He was infected with aberrations during the mission, and because he upheld human will and had extremely high genetic entropy, he directly became a high-level member of the spire."
Qin Zhilu lowered his eyes and smiled as he spoke, "Sure enough, if Ling Qiu had not gone on a mission to Area 53, Tang Feng's records would have changed hands. If there really is a parallel world, perhaps the Spire will have one more senior executive in the future. "
An Yu couldn't explain what he was feeling for a moment, his heart was full and empty at the same time - Ling Qiu was not far away, and he wanted to step forward and call Ling Qiu, because he would definitely be able to tell him what this feeling was called at this moment.
"Don't feel sad." Qin Zhilu suddenly said, "Ling Qiu's life when he died in Area 53 was more glorious than what you see now."
An Yu's heart seemed to tremble violently, and he suddenly turned back to look at his commander - in the eyes of the familiar little octopus man, he read the commander's unique expression that was difficult for AI to imitate.
Wordless comfort.
Qin Zhilu picked up his two ears, covered his face and rubbed it vigorously, and whispered: "Go and chat, your mission is to determine whether Ling Qiu is the storage target selected by Mo Li. "
