"good."
Chapter 106 World Line·106
On the flight back, An Yu didn't fall asleep.
He was very sleepy and tired. The runaway train of the world was approaching the edge of the cliff infinitely. Chaos fragments were moving in every corner. The body of order was about to completely awaken. The wind and snow even far exceeded the special specifications of the Yug Snowfield back then, making him unable to withstand it. .
But he just weakly leaned against the wall, holding the terminal and never closed his eyes.
He didn't want to sleep.
Everything is happening at super speed, and when I wake up, I don’t know what will happen.
Is that person still there?
[Take a rest for a while, An Yu. 】
After Dian absorbed it, the words he said no longer had a voice in his mind, but seemed to become another separate consciousness.
An Yu didn't respond and lowered his eyes to look at the screen.
The terminal is playing "Super Abnormal Kindergarten" in silent mode. Since the whole world is in chaos, "Super Abnormal Kindergarten" has also suspended updates. The latest episode is from two weeks ago. Rabbit Ann and the little lover Octopus Man are here. Arriving at the Octopus Man's hometown, a small piece of land on the sea attracted countless octopuses, squirming lazily and arrogantly.
An Yu looked at the octopuses absentmindedly. After looking at them for a while, he suddenly frowned and sat up straight.
He poked the little octopus man on the screen.
The little octopus man put down his pen and remained as cold as ever.
-Is something wrong?
An Yu typed hesitantly.
-I'm watching "Supernatural Kindergarten".
-Well, I noticed you were watching that copycat cartoon again. What's wrong?
-I suddenly thought of what you said before, that Rabbit Ann’s CP octopus in the cartoon infringed on your portrait rights.
-Yeah, the original artist must have copied my face when designing that octopus. But you don't want to believe it. You say that all octopuses all over the world look the same.
The little octopus man looked directly at the screen indifferently, and after a moment played another one.
-Forget it, AI and face-blind humans have nothing to say.
An Yu quickly poked it several times.
-wait!
The little octopus man was very annoyed and stared at him with a frown.
Very similar to Qin Zhilu.
An Yu looked carefully at the cartoon that was playing.
-I seem to have suddenly lost face blindness.
He was surprised to find that he could see the facial differences of each octopus. When he looked at the couple octopus next to Rabbit Ann, he couldn't help but feel creepy - among all the strange octopuses, that guy did look exactly like the AI he pinched. !
-how? Finally realized I was plagiarized?
-Um……
-Want to sue now? It's too late, do humans still have the energy to deal with such disputes?
An Yu didn't bother to answer. He raised his head and stared blankly at the clouds outside the plane window. After a long time, he replied:
- Something's wrong.
-What's wrong?
Nothing is right.
If I remember correctly, he was the one who created the little octopus AI first. After a while, the couple character appeared in "Super Abnormal Kindergarten".
But his terminal had top-level protection, and there was no way that Little Octopus Man's data would be leaked. Moreover, Mo Li was still running normally at the time, so it was impossible for him to have the authority to steal his data and resell it to an animation company that was beyond his reach.
coincide?
After being able to identify the differences in the appearance of the octopus group, An Yu absolutely did not believe that there would be such a degree of coincidence.
He wanted Yan Xi to ask relevant personnel of Fuxi Company, but gave up after hesitation.
At this juncture, it seems that no manpower should be wasted on such a trivial matter.
Although this little thing made him slightly concerned.
An Yu turned off the cartoon and sighed.
Billy, who had been flying the plane quietly, suddenly turned his head and glanced at him, "Do you have a fever? You are listless, your face is red, and your lips have no color at all."
Billy said, reaching out and touching his forehead, frowning and saying, "I guess he has a cold. My medicine box is under the seat. You can dig it out."
An Yu was stunned for a few seconds before he remembered that he was still a wild doctor. He responded perfunctorily, "It's okay," but when he opened his mouth, he was startled.
My throat was swollen and painful, my pronunciation was not clear, and my voice was extremely hoarse.
Billy immediately adjusted the flight speed to the highest gear, frowned and muttered: "You must be tired and sick. Black Tower is really inhumane. He will use life-saving straws to die. What he did to him back then..."
He paused, did not say Qin Zhilu's name, chuckled twice and continued: "The same is true for you now. Also, Black Tower is indeed not a human being in a sense."
An Yu seemed to catch something, "Not a human?"
"Have you never found the top to be weird?" Billy glanced at him and shrugged, "Only the people on the top and top of the steeple when the Black Tower was first built knew about this, but most of those people did it later. They left in this disaster, and now it seems that the only living people in the world who know about it are the Black Tower and the brains of no more than ten senior figures, Qin Zhilu, Tang Feng, me and Miss from Pingping District. The place where Lu was in the brain back then During these days, I was the only one who visited him frequently and overheard some things I shouldn't have heard."
"Single Peak is indeed not a human being." Billy said calmly: "He is an integrated decision-making AI. You can think of him as another Mo Li, except that Mo Li's thoughts are completely self-generated from learning and evolution. But Peak has a closed learning target. He studied the thoughts of a dozen core decision-makers and the first-generation lawful people at the beginning of the disaster. At that time, everyone realized that in response to the disaster, every rational decision-maker would have some ideas. One's own selfishness may succumb to the weakness of human nature, so we simply built such an integrated AI to represent absolute rationality."
An Yu looked at him in shock, not knowing how to react for a moment.
"So when Mo Li first appeared, even though some people had questioned the safety of AI, Black Tower and Brain didn't take it seriously at all - the top decision-makers in humankind's response to disasters are AI, what else can a commercial and entertainment AI have? But I’m worried.”
An Yu said nonchalantly: "Yes, the top decision-maker for mankind to deal with disasters is actually an AI..."
"Don't underestimate this AI. Its operation is quite stable. Years of iterative evolution have only made his speech more and more like a natural person, but there has never been any subjective deviation in decision-making. He was born for the survival of mankind in a true sense. The AI does not even need any underlying protocol constraints, he is the most perfect masterpiece." Billy paused, "After Mo Li's accident, he immediately withdrew from the relevant decision-making, and Qin Zhilu took over with full authority - even this The decisions were all made by him.”
An Yu was stunned for a while, "Can the thoughts of just a dozen first-generation people achieve 100% rationality?"
Billy seemed to be stopped by the question. After thinking for a while, he suddenly smiled.
"Maybe it's because there is a special being among these dozen people."
"who?"
"Admiral Qin Zheng, Qin Zhilu's father, the drafter of the Lawful Declaration."
Billy stared at the thick clouds outside the plane and whispered: "I was not qualified to contact him when he was alive, but I think, with Lu's self-denial and absolute rationality, it is not difficult to deduce that General Qin Zheng is human. He must be the top AI. the key to success."
An Yu's mind buzzed.
It was like a sharp knife tearing his heart apart.
His first reaction was not to respect the leader who was killed by Qin Zhilu himself, but to recall the calm words "Only you can kill Qin Zhilu" on the phone dozens of minutes ago.
The commander must know - in his father's mind, he too was sentenced to death.
Billy did not notice An Yu's trance, and said in a deep voice while lowering the flight altitude: "Why do I feel that the main city is getting worse and worse... There are so many abnormal frequencies detected around here that the radar is about to fail, you see The weather outside, I think humanity is really going to be doomed.”
*
The 199th floor of the minaret.
The Black Tower video disappeared from the wall projection, and it took a long time for An Yu to regain consciousness.
Dingfeng only said a few words to him.
"With his mental power below 10, Qin Zhilu is mentally dead in the sense of human cognition. The one currently imprisoned on the tenth floor of the White Tower is the source of the disaster."
"As soon as the dome is broken, a small amount of abnormal tide has already entered the main city. Every minute and every second, everything that humans have worked hard to preserve is being trampled on. We are unable to distract Qin Zhilu, nor can we redeem or fight against him."
"An Yu, you are the only sharp blade left by mankind."
And he was quiet until the end when he asked: "Have you ever imagined that you would make the decision to kill Qin Zhilu?"
Dingfeng replied: "It can be expected, but I have not expected it."
"Why?"
"Because the ultimate rationality often represents the ultimate pain."
"Will you also avoid pain?" An Yu asked immediately, "Will the decision to kill him really cause you pain?"
Dingfeng was silent for a long time, seeming to have an insight into what An Yu already knew.
It wasn't until he hung up that he finally answered: "The ultimate direction of AI learning and evolution must be emotion."
"It's just that, like him, I can't escape the fate of using reason to suppress emotions."
The elevator descended rapidly from the 199th floor. An Yu, wearing a black trench coat owned by Qin Zhilu, turned his back to the spire and looked at the outside world.
The main city has entered a city-wide silence, the streets are empty, the lights are out, and the civilian network has been terminated. After hanging up the communication at the top, the communication between the steeple and the black tower was also cut off. Only the brain core computer room is still running on backup energy, and the brain is independent. The secondary dome is activated, hiding the weak electromagnetic field inside.
Even though a small amount of abnormal waves have invaded, the main city is still trying its best to eliminate its own presence.
The struggle of a trapped beast.
When the elevator reached the first floor, An Yu immediately saw Yan Xi waiting for him anxiously outside the door. But he just stepped out of the elevator and turned to look the other way.
There were many people standing in darkness beside the statue of the Oath of the Order.
The lawful ones who are still in the spire at this moment, whether they know each other or not, are all here.
Standing at the front were Jiang Xiao and Zhu Tao.
"An Yu." Jiang Xiao's eyes were scarlet, and his hands on both sides of his body were almost clenched into fists, and he begged in a trembling voice: "Don't kill him."
An Yu's steps suddenly stopped.
Behind Jiang Xiao, those lawful people were looking directly at him. He raised his eyes and glanced over. These people still had an instinctive fear of him, but at this moment, they did not avoid scrutiny.
After a long confrontation in silence, An Yu spoke in an emotionless voice: "It is said that he has died mentally. The ten underground floors of the White Tower are closed only for disasters that humans cannot resist."
After he put down these words, he turned around, and just as he was about to leave, another step suddenly approached from behind, and then a soft and lonely voice sounded——
