Shen Shiwei remained silent.
He didn't mention the data Liu Kai needed, but instead started calculating in his mind again.
If they obtained the data and were so envious that they could breach the US firewall, they might even turn their guns on China.
After all, everyone's firewalls have a similar structure.
Such an important thing is in the hands of an outsider like Liu Kai.
I always feel like there's a sword hanging over my head, and I don't know when it will fall.
Therefore, the best approach is not to provide the data to Liu Kai.
Instead, they obtained the prototype from him and had the Chinese government handle the matter.
Liu Kai had, of course, considered this possibility as well.
So he took the initiative and shattered Shen Shiwei's illusions with a single sentence.
"Commander Shen, the computational demands of breaching the firewall are enormous, and satellite transmission efficiency is limited, so remote control is impossible, right?"
Seeing Shen Shiwei's expression shift, Liu Kai knew he was starting to struggle.
He immediately added, "That prototype was about the size of a light truck cargo box."
"You want to secretly send it to the US military's root server. I wonder if you're confident in doing so?"
Liu Kai doesn't want to hand over the prototype right now.
The fact that it is difficult for the Chinese government to breach the Great Firewall is only one of the reasons.
Another important reason is what we considered before.
He didn't want the war to end prematurely, or even before it started, because then there would be no spiritual energy left.
As long as the prototype is still in his hands, he can easily find an excuse to stall.
For example, the prototype is not a true AI and has not yet learned how to break through firewalls.
The specific time to detonate the US nuclear bomb is up to him.
Liu Kai was plotting something, and Shen Shiwei was also in turmoil.
After a long while, she looked helplessly at Liu Kai's confident face.
"Sigh... I can give you the data, but..."
"I understand!"
Liu Kai chuckled and interrupted Shen Shiwei.
"Don't worry, Commander Shen, I'll give you the prototype after everything's finished, but..."
At this point, Liu Kai stretched out three fingers of his right hand and rubbed them together continuously.
The meaning couldn't be clearer: pay up for it.
Shen Shiwei breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this.
In retrospect, Liu Kai's greed for money is actually good news.
As long as he doesn't misuse the prototype or threaten China, exchanging benefits is the best outcome.
"Let's get straight to the point, Director Liu. What conditions are you offering this time? We'd like to be prepared in advance."
Liu Kai didn't really want any benefits from the authorities, since what he wanted was difficult for them to provide.
Besides, it's useless for him to bring this kind of computer alone.
Handing it over to the authorities to benefit humanity can also be considered his karma.
Although it's a bit weaker, at least it still has faith energy to harvest.
Besides, Liu Kai had consulted the oracle.
China does not actually have the capability to develop truly intelligent AI based on prototypes.
It's not that China's technology is inferior, but rather that the concept of thinking is too abstract and ethereal.
The Sinclair family was able to pull this off purely because they were good at brainwashing.
Having gained such insight into the essence of thought over the years, it's not surprising that they've developed machines that truly possess a mind.
All that's needed is to destroy all the research data while wiping out the Sinclair family, instead of handing it over to the authorities.
That being said...
Giving away the prototype for free would inevitably attract attention.
So Liu Kai shamelessly said, "Give the credit to my wife."
"Transfer it to Director Qin?"
Shen Shiwei was startled.
Merit cannot be transferred; this is a matter of principle.
But principles are meant to be broken; these days, there's nothing that can't be done in a special way.
Contributing just one AI prototype isn't really a huge achievement.
But what if Liu Kai really could use this to break through the US military's firewall?
This could have led to an early victory in the war, or even the annihilation of the United States.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this achievement is as great as the sky.
Qin Luofei was recently promoted two ranks from lieutenant colonel to senior colonel.
Now, another tremendous achievement has come his way.
How can I get promoted? Am I supposed to be promoted directly to general?
Even if the order has largely collapsed, a general who is not yet 30 years old shouldn't be breaking the rules this badly.
However, Shen Shiwei didn't say much in the end, but just gave Liu Kai a deep look.
Then he asked Liu Kai his final question.
"Now that the Sinclair family has successfully created an artificial intelligence, how can we be sure they don't have others?"
In other words, how can you ensure that the prototype you have can successfully complete the envisioned plan?
Recreate a true artificial intelligence?
Even in the era before the cold wave hit, when resources were plentiful, the Sinclair family still went to great lengths to produce one.
Where can we easily get it now?
Upon hearing this, Liu Kai smiled confidently.
"Commander Shen, didn't the Feng family give you the crystal stones?"
"oh?"
Shen Shiwei was quite surprised: "It seems you've already had the divination done."
Seeing Liu Kai nod, Shen Shiwei was now completely fine.
"I will have someone send you all the information within 24 hours."
"By the way, Commander Shen."
Seeing that Shen Shiwei was about to leave, Liu Kai added another comment.
"Although this plan has a chance, we shouldn't put all our hopes on it. We still need to prepare for war and fight when necessary."
"Nonsense, do you need to tell me?"
Liu Kai's extra comment was just a precautionary measure for Shen Shiwei.
To avoid the situation where the "Qi Ling" prototype is still not working when war actually breaks out, leading to official repercussions.
