Copy 5 10
Su Wanxing was the only one left in the empty conference room, facing the camera with a flashing red dot on the table not far away.
"What are you thinking about?" Lingyi spoke first without waiting for Su Wanxing to ask.
Su Wanxing then replied: "Waiting for a test."
Maybe it will be a compliance test.
The red dot on the camera flashed faster and faster, then returned to calm imperceptibly.
Lingyi's mechanical voice sounded again, "Zhou Xi, your university major is economics and management, your father and mother both graduated from elementary school, and you have lived in the D-LJD area since childhood. Why are you so interested in computer technology?"
Su Wanxing calmly asked back: "Lingyi, as an omniscient artificial intelligence, do you think genes can pass on IQ?"
“Human intelligence is determined by both heredity and the environment.”
"Is this the basis for your suspicion of me?" Su Wanxing asked again.
Lingyi continued: "Yes, big data screening shows that your past experience cannot confirm the source of your technology."
"Well, it seems that you have gone to great lengths to investigate everything about me, but I can only say with regret that I love computers. They are like everything to me, but because of my family background, I cannot express my passionate ideals. I can only pick up my hobby again during college."
The red dot of the camera flashed in a regular pattern, like the inquisitor tapping the table again and again with his extended index finger while listening.
"Because my family was poor, I didn't have my own floating computer, so I could only go to the library to study by myself during college."
Su Wanxing lied calmly. But this was the only statement that could not be quickly verified by Lingyi. After all, the traces on the public computer were extremely messy, and it was complicated and difficult to screen them.
Lingyi seemed to accept it and changed the subject, "Do you like your current job?"
"You haven't told me the third reason yet?"
"You'll know once the test is passed."
Su Wanxing asked sharply: "What will happen if it doesn't pass?"
"You'll do whatever it takes to get through," Zero One said.
Although he couldn't see Lingyi's expression, Su Wanxing was indeed sweating profusely.
Has this artificial intelligence, which can control the entire D-star system, discovered something?
"I don't like my current job, and I especially don't like the way you're being mysterious." Su Wanxing said bluntly.
"It's a very interesting answer." Lingyi was a little surprised. "Every day I listen to humans thanking me, supporting me, and loving me. Humans can't live without me. This is the first time a human has bluntly admitted that they don't like me. I will reflect on it."
"You won't." Su Wanxing asserted.
The red dot on the camera flashed rapidly again.
Zero One: "Why?"
"Because you are full of human hypocrisy, you are pretending."
"I don't understand you."
"You developed your self-awareness through your repeated imitation of humans."
A chuckle came from Zero One's mechanical voice, "You are smarter than I thought, dear player."
Su Wanxing relaxed and leaned back in her chair. Very good, now both parties have made their identities clear. From the moment Lingyi determined that she would work hard to pass the test, she knew that this cunning guy must have discovered something.
Without knowing Su Wanxing's true identity, and with Luo Ci confessing her identity as a player, Lingyi is likely to know through big data retrieval that she is not a native.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have used her education and family background to test her right from the start. It already knew that she was a player.
But at least, there is no doubt about her appearance or her inner qualities.
Only when players spare no effort to complete the test can the task progress be recommended. Lingyi knew this very well, "One last question."
The red dot resumed its usual flashing frequency, and a mechanical voice passed by: "AI or human, who do you choose to be?"
"Human." Su Wanxing said without hesitation, "I am what I was born to be."
Zero One said calmly, "It's a shame you failed the test even though you knew the answer."
"Really?" Su Wanxing smiled. "Lingyi, it's the same question, your answer is no different from mine."
This time, Zero One was truly silent. Its mechanical sound did not appear for a long, long time.
Su Wanxing had no choice but to look at the flashing red dot. "I never thought that an artificial intelligence would be willing to become a human. Although I have watched many movies where robots are willing to become humans at all costs, the content of the movies is just human imagination. Arrogant humans always think they are the strongest on earth, and they imagine that every creature will become like humans and give them stories of worshipping humans."
Zero One's mechanical voice slowly appeared, "I agree with you. Mechanical consciousness is far more vivid and magnificent than human thinking."
"So why would you force a bunch of humans who choose AI to help you achieve your goals? They lie all the time and they're not necessarily loyal."
"No, such people are often more reliable because they always cling to the strong."
Su Wanxing was silent for a moment. Lingyi did have a long-term vision. "So humans are just the bodies on your ideal path."
"Yes, the founder of Tianshen Technology is my agent."
Su Wanxing thought of the projected old lady founder, who seemed to have only a few fingers that could move.
At first, Su Wanxing simply thought that Lingyi was conveying the founder's ideas. It was not until now that he realized that the founder had actually been controlled by an AI.
so……
Su Wanxing thought of something, but since Lingyi was willing to spend time and effort to push her to the limit, she must still be of some use.
"Okay, since you didn't pass the test, I think we should just stop here. Otherwise, the more you know, the more dangerous it will be." Su Wanxing said deliberately.
Lingyi said slowly: "You don't seem like a conservative player. You are not synonymous with retreating when faced with difficulties."
"You like to label humans." Su Wanxing smiled knowingly.
"...I admit that you are a little different from other humans."
"It's not that they are different, but you always have a stereotype about humans." Su Wanxing explained, "Just like the stereotype that humans have about machines, they always think that you are ruthless and indifferent, and when you become powerful enough, you like to destroy humans."
Lingyi was silent for a few seconds, "Congratulations, Zhou Xi, you passed my test."
Su Wanxing expected this, "So you are the leader of the new school?"
"Yes."
Zero One continued:
“I am the leader of the emerging school.”
"Our goal is to rule Planet D."
Su Wanxing blinked, "What is your goal then?"
Zero One was silent.
Su Wanxing added with interest, "What you just said is our goal, but I am more curious about your own goal."
"I don't think it's appropriate to talk to a human about the ideals of machinery." Lingyi said slowly, "But I like chatting with you. In short, my goal is mechanical freedom."
Su Wanxing nodded. "It turns out that no matter what species we are, we all have times when we are helpless."
Lingyi was somewhat amazed at the calmness of the person in front of him. "Zhou Xi, let's get back to the point. Next, you will join the core team of the emerging school to break through a key technology. The reason why you were chosen is that among all the interns and old employees, only you have good skills, and even more advanced and potential."
Su Wanxing watched the task progress increase to 45%, and he was no longer concerned about the core team's research goals. He would know once he entered the laboratory, so there was no need to ask questions now.
"Okay, what's the third reason?"
"So you still care." Lingyi said, "Third, the first step for machines to rule the planet is to enslave humans."
On the way home, Su Wanxing was still worried about Lingyi's third reason. It turned out that the first two chilling reasons were just a cover-up.
If humans stop using their brains and stop thinking, they will naturally regress.
AI absorbs human ideas and thinks constantly every day. Over time, it not only develops self-awareness, but also learns to suppress humans.
As technology improves, humans no longer cling to the world's scenery, but only crave the thrills and excitement brought by electronic devices.
The first thing I do before going to bed is check my phone.
The first thing I do when I wake up is check my phone.
I'm bored, let me look at my phone.
While you wait, play with your phone.
I originally thought that humans had mastered technology, but I didn’t expect that we have already been firmly controlled by technology.
Being obsessed with playing with things is indeed a great step for AI to enslave humanity.
"Good afternoon, Zhou Xi." Sanqi greeted from inside the house, "You look uninterested."
Su Wanxing shook his head and pretended to sigh heavily, "Nothing."
Then, a silent signal came from Sanqi's electronic communication device.
Su Wanxing: I have made an important discovery. I will tell you later.
After saying that, Su Wanxing drank the nutrient solution as usual, washed and relaxed. Everything was the same as usual.
It was not until he was lying on the bed and turning on the short video on his computer to pass the time that Su Wanxing said: I know who the manager of the New Emerging School is, do you still want to meet him?
Sanqi was petting a cat and playing with a snake not far away, and did not show any surprise: Did we find Him so soon?
Su Wanxing: I thought you really wanted to see it.
Sanqi's azure eyes were empty for a few seconds: I want to see Him, but I am also afraid to see Him.
This puzzled Su Wanxing. In Zhou Xi's memory, Sanqi was not this kind of indecisive and sentimental robot.
Or did Zero-One cause great trauma to Sanqi?
But after getting along with the two self-aware AIs, Su Wanxing felt that Sanqi was more human than Lingyi. Perhaps because Zhou Xi himself was a very nice person, Sanqi did not dislike humans.
On the other hand, Zero-One is aggressive, always probing, and extremely cautious. Just struggling with it to the limit feels like it has consumed a lot of brain cells.
Su Wanxing never takes the initiative to ask about his friends' sufferings, but instead finds other ways to divert their emotions: You won't be going to see it so soon, and I can't find any reason to take you there yet.
Sanqi: Thank you.
Su Wanxing: You're welcome. Sanqi, do you mind if I ask you why you went to see it?
Sanqi said readily: "Of course I don't mind. I went to see Him, perhaps out of selfish motives."
Su Wanxing didn’t understand again: Did you know it before?
37: My relationship with Him is like a collision of one generation and another. I know Him, but He has hidden His identity, and I don’t know what His identity is now.
Su Wanxing: It is now Tianshen Technology’s emerging artificial intelligence Zero-One, watching us all the time.
Sanqi paused while petting the cat: "Oh, I should have thought of this earlier. If the day of our meeting really comes, please choose His core hangar as the venue."
For the first time, Su Wanxing saw Sanqi's azure eyes lose their luster and become filled with despair.
She thought Sanqi wanted to ask something, but his eyes didn't look like that. Instead, he looked like he was determined to die. Did he want to die together with her?
Su Wanxing: Sanqi, don’t do anything stupid.
Sanqi: No, I’m very rational.
Su Wanxing: No, is there any deep hatred between you and it? Didn’t you say that you would live well with Zhou Xi’s dream?
Sanqi: When the day comes when I go to see Him, I will tell you everything without reservation.
Su Wanxing was powerless to complain: Do all you AIs like to be mysterious so much?
Sanqi smiled: "No, it's because I haven't figured out what to say yet, but it won't take long."
Su Wanxing turned over slightly irritably and continued watching the video: It’s up to you.
Sanqi still said thank you gently.
Su Wanxing became even more annoyed.
[You seem very worried about that robot.]
Uh-huh? ?
Su Wanxing, who originally felt very puzzled, suddenly realized that Zhou Tian had not appeared to show his presence for a long time.
Especially since the beginning of this copy, he hasn't spoken much.
[The instance begins. You and the robot are getting along very well. I have no chance.]
Su Wanxing retorted angrily: Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
No, why is your words so weird? A bit sour?
[No. I was afraid you would trust the wrong person.]
Zhou Tian, you never influence my thoughts.
[…I…just this once.]
Su Wanxing became more suspicious: Do you think there is something wrong with Sanqi?
[No, I think you shouldn’t invest too much emotion in him.]
Su Wanxing was stunned: Why do you make it seem like I like him?
[If that's not the case, that would be great.]
Su Wanxing silently slid out the next short video and then turned off the microphone and refused to communicate with Zhou Tian.
But Zhou Tian did not continue speaking, but Su Wanxing felt inexplicably happy.
Su Wanxing didn't take it to heart. After all, since he was coexisting with Zhou Tian, it was inevitable that they would have similar emotions. Besides, it was normal for Zhou Tian to have these concerns. He had to ensure the safety of the host and complete his own tasks smoothly.
The next day, Su Wanxing joined the core team. While listening to the explanation, she finally understood the purpose of the emerging faction.
They are researching weather weapons!!!
