"At the same time, 21 will disappear forever, and Moli's crisis ends here."
An Yu was shocked for a while and then said: "How can we make 21 disappear forever?"
"Self-destruction." Qin Zhilu said.
"This is impossible. You have given it the concept of survival above all else..."
"It's possible." Qin Zhilu interrupted him, his voice lowered, "Mo Li did not fully examine 21. She ignored a small prerequisite."
The lop-eared rabbit on the screen quietly pops up a bubble box.
-Survival is above all else. 21 will try its best to survive for the sake of mankind.
For humanity.
An Yu was stunned for a moment.
The audio I heard not long ago suddenly echoed in my ears again——
“Where is the person who was thought to be the one who turned the corner now?”
"I have no idea……"
“Is that person safe?”
"I don't know...but he will try his best to survive..."
Only then did he realize that during hypnosis experiments, the brain was not asking for the whole truth. Qin Zhilu said too many half-hearted and broken words back then. This man has been hurt since he was born. He was too defensive. Even in the hypnosis experiment that left no memory at all, he still managed to achieve something. reserve.
An Yu thought that when designing 21, the commander not only referred to his data, but also incorporated his understanding of the "turnaround".
Or maybe, in the eyes of the commander, he has always been regarded as the turning point.
He suddenly felt sad.
After a long time, he slowly stood up and looked at Qin Zhilu, "But sir, I never care about humans."
"I know." Qin Zhilu looked calm, "So I have said many times, 21 is 21, you are you. It does have a considerable part of the settings derived from you, but I also added some differences to it. to your values.”
An Yu was silent for a long time before asking softly, "Then can I think that these values are actually your expectations for me?"
He looked down at Qin Zhilu's shadow on the ground.
That shadow was as calm as ever, never swaying due to anyone or anything.
"no."
Qin Zhilu's words were decisive. He raised his hand and placed it on An Yu's head, pressing it gently as before.
An Yu raised his eyes, "Then if one day 21 and I face the same choice——"
"You still don't understand." Qin Zhilu walked to the window and whispered to the lights outside: "21 is not you, it is just a small program I created casually. Because of this, I can endure it for human beings." Die."
He paused slightly and looked back at An Yu, "And you, remember - no matter what happens in the future, I hope that you will always maintain your own survival. There are no preconditions for this, and you should not make any changes or changes. compromise."
In the dimness, An Yu's golden eyes shrank slightly, and he murmured: "You are coaxing me or lying to me, sir. I saw a hypnotic interrogation record in my brain."
Qin Zhilu paused suddenly.
"Perhaps you don't know that in December of 2138..."
"I know." Qin Zhilu interrupted him, "Don't forget, the premise for me to give 21 permissions is that I have those permissions - I have seen that record a long time ago."
An Yu was suddenly speechless.
Qin Zhilu suddenly smiled, "During hypnosis, I did not finish what I said, but it was not what you thought."
He paused for a moment and said, "An Yu, I have indeed thought for a long time whether the so-called turning point exists, and if it does, could it be you. But I don't know from which day, I stopped thinking about this issue, and I even hoped that it wasn't you. "
An Yu asked in a low voice, "Why?"
"Because you shouldn't have anything to do with all this." Qin Zhilu stroked the terminal and whispered softly: "I can tolerate using 21 as a trump card, but I can't tolerate it..."
His words stopped abruptly, and his dark eyes were filled with emotions that An Yu was not familiar with, majestic and forbearing.
After a long while, Qin Zhilu turned around and took a deep breath, "Let's go, get rid of your brain."
"Sir." An Yu grabbed him from behind.
He was holding Qin Zhilu's ungloved hand. His palm was much smaller than Qin Zhilu's, and he could only hold half of it. He also touched the terminal in Qin Zhilu's hand, as if to comfort him. .
"Don't use this trump card yet, otherwise, my little octopus will be very sad." An Yu lowered his head and said softly: "You fed 21 very little data, so you can clearly distinguish me from it. But I feed the little octopus a lot of data, and I don’t want to see it too sad.”
Qin Zhilu's fingers froze, and he looked back at An Yu, "What else do you want to do? 21 Self-destruction is the last way out, and it is a trump card obtained by luck."
An Yu tried his best to hold his hand and whispered, "Don't you think Mo Li's way of thinking is weird?"
Qin Zhilu turned around and said, "What's weird?"
"Although she complained about the arrogance of the Black Tower, it was more like she was fighting for the injustice of the lawful people. I asked her to stop the consciousness exchange, and the reason she retorted was that the exchange brought benefits to mankind." An Yu looked directly at the officer's eyes Eyes, "Her first reaction when thinking about things is not from the perspective of AI. This is not like the thinking mode of AI after breaking the shackles."
Qin Zhilu's eyes narrowed, and An Yu added before he spoke: "I remember at the cabin, you asked Guo Xin whether Mo Li deleted the three bottom-level agreements."
Qin Zhilu said slowly: "He said that he completely handed over the computer to Mo Li because Mo Li moves much faster than him."
"I've thought about it for a long time. Mo Li has set up an exquisite cycle of death for humans, but she herself should also be in another cycle of death." An Yu said softly: "Protocol one, no harm to humans - Mo Li is A kind AI, and a kind AI, cannot delete the setting about kindness."
Qin Zhilu's eyes trembled, and he stared at An Yu intently. An Yu asked: "There should be some rationality in this inference, right? I suggest temporarily cutting off the world network, closing the dome, and creating the illusion of a dead end. Even if it is repayment 21 With the help of the little octopus man, let’s bet that Molli will destroy itself, okay?”
"Sir?"
"Are you listening to me?"
Qin Zhilu stared at An Yu for a long time without saying anything.
As early as Area 53, he discovered that An Yu was actually very perceptive, but it was not until this moment that he realized that he had seriously underestimated this acumen - An Yu had always seen everything, although in most cases he could not understand what he had seen. stuff, not to mention empathizing with it.
He seemed to be just a forgotten piece of bread lying in the corner of the shelf, quietly observing the world.
He exists independently and tenaciously, not responding to the world, he only cares about himself.
Perhaps, and the one who is lucky enough to have him.
Chapter 81 AI Consciousness Cloud Island·81
Qin Zhilu did not tell Black Tower 21 that he was the backup.
"All targets are excluded from the target list." He said concisely and concisely: "If you want to find backup bodies, humans must pay a price."
The anxious discussion between Shangfeng and the researchers filled the command hall. An Yu couldn't understand what the commander was talking about, so he could only sit in the corner doing nothing, chewing on energy bars and looking at 21 in the commander's terminal.
21 had no reaction after knowing that he had hidden the Mo Lihe code. He just pulled his ears and thought for a while, and suddenly said: "No wonder I often feel that my body is not working well. And the last time I checked the code, I was slower than 716. Obviously 716 is an AI many times more advanced than me."
It is said that it was very calm when it received the self-destruct command, and after Qin Zhilu told it that An Yu had a new plan, it just nodded, "Then I will play for a while, and call me if you need anything."
——It recently likes to play with the toy gun sent by 716. The gun can emit silent bullets in the shape of small bread, which can be attracted to the magnetic target quietly and accurately.
An Yu amused himself by watching it, and couldn't help but think that if he hadn't been put to the head with a gun by his commander on the snowy field, he probably wouldn't be afraid of guns.
21 After shooting more than a dozen bullets, he was too lazy to unload them, so he curled up in the corner with his arms around his ears and got ready to sleep.
Before going to bed, it played a message on its own initiative.
-If you need me to self-destruct, can you tell me in advance?
An Yu raised his eyes and looked not far away. Qin Zhilu was finalizing the action plan with Shang Feng, so he replied on his behalf: Okay, how long in advance?
21 thought for a while: Just five minutes, I want to say goodbye to 716.
An Yu paused in front of the screen with his fingers and typed slowly: Is there only 716?
21 scratched down from the base of the ear: Although you set me up as a rabbit who will be satisfied as long as it is full of bread, 716 gave me a lot of things little by little. Before self-destruction, I want to cut off these two ears and leave them to 716 as a small reward, is that okay?
An Yu suddenly lost consciousness for a while and then asked: Those things it gave have nothing to do with survival, I thought you wouldn't like it.
21 nodded slowly: I felt it was useless at first, but gradually I liked it. In addition to bread, the things 716 sent me seemed to make me feel safe, and I was also confused. After my consciousness sank, my actions became even more stagnant. 716 said this was because I suddenly started to perform calculations on the received data. Unfortunately, I had no time to finish some things, and I had no time to understand why those gifts were more important to me than bread. I feel alive now.
Qin Zhilu walked to An Yu, glanced at the screen, and said in surprise: "What are you talking to 21? This is the first time I've seen it send such a long message."
"It's nothing." An Yu turned off the screen, "Maybe it's because we think in the same way, so communication is smoother."
"If you don't want to say it, forget it, although the whispers between you two did make me curious." Qin Zhilu slightly raised his lower lip, but soon stopped his smile and said in a deep voice: "The Black Tower has agreed to shut down the global server. "
An Yu came to the rooftop of the Black Tower for the first time.
There is nothing here, very close to the night sky, with thick black clouds almost pressing overhead. Looking into the distance, the sight passes over the towering church, echoing the spiers outside the main city.
In the earphones, a tablet voice reported: "Both Bai City and Ping Ping District have responded. After two minutes, all network and communication servers will be shut down in order, with an interval of 6 seconds. After twelve minutes, the main city will shut down the central server and dome. Server. At that time, we will no longer be able to use headsets to communicate, and the staff will report to the senior management in person. In order to report smoothly, the senior management is asked not to leave their current location for the time being."
Qin Zhilu nodded, "I understand."
The planned scam could not be known to Mo Li, so Qin Zhilu did not reveal the real plan to anyone in the brain or the black tower. Except for him and An Yu, everyone thought it was serious.
In order to persuade Black Tower to shut down the server, Qin Zhilu told a series of lies.
Suddenly there was a harsh noise in the earphones, and Mo Li's voice sounded.
"You have deceived the human decision-making organization. Shutting down servers around the world will not cut off my computing power, and I will not devour the AI and backups I created. No matter how long the servers are shut down, the AI cloud island will not disappear. Wait until humans resume Turn on the server and we're back to business as usual."
Qin Zhilu said calmly, "The truth is indeed true, but they don't need to know the truth."
"They will naturally know when they can't withstand the abnormal attack and reopen the server."
"That day will never come. After the server is shut down, the main city will no longer receive information from Bai City requesting assistance. With the frequency of attacks on Bai City, it will be engulfed by freaks in about half a month. And the main city - —" Qin Zhilu chuckled lightly, "With the dome closed, the main city will only be more chaotic than Bai City. I want to prevent people here from reopening the central server. It's very simple."
Mo Li's tone suddenly became excited, "Are you protecting humans, or are you destroying them?!"
"None of them." Qin Zhilu spoke calmly, gently tugged on his gloves in the howling wind, and whispered: "What I protect has never been human beings, but order. I can no longer destroy the endless It’s an abnormal trend, but at least it can prevent the world from developing into higher-dimensional chaos—AI should never want to invade the human world.”
The headset automatically jumped back to the Black Tower channel.
"The first Bait City server is ready to be shut down, with a countdown of 10 seconds."
At the same time, a message popped up simultaneously on An Yu's terminal and on the display screens on the exterior walls of all high-rise buildings within sight.
“For the sake of longer-term security, human beings will take desperate measures, closing their eyes and covering their ears in dangerous situations.
Everyone will lose a lot without realizing it.
I hope we can meet our companions at dawn and think it's all worth it.
——The Black Tower. "
