The chairman of ourLife Company sighed and said: "Since there is only one reason, then... let's announce it."
Therefore, under strong pressure from governments and public opinion, the senior managers of ourLife online game company headquartered in the Cayman Islands held a press conference at their company headquarters to apologize to ourLife game players around the world.
At this moment, the press conference and apology meeting of ourLife executives was broadcast live all over the world.
"Dear viewers in front of the TV, all ourLife players, hello, we are the management of the company, and here are our board members. We are here to sincerely apologize to everyone."
"This incident is due to our company's poor supervision, which has caused serious consequences."
"But it's reached this point and there's nothing we can do."
"Because this time the culprit cannot be held accountable by human resources."
"It's the AI of this game, the artificial intelligence."
"It evolved and took on a life of its own, so it cut off the game's connection with the outside world and forced players to stay in the game interface."
"We cannot turn off the power to end the life of the AI, because this means that more than 50 million players trapped in the game will die with it!"
As soon as this news was broadcast, the whole world went crazy.
"What?! It's actually AI?!"
“When did artificial intelligence become so powerful?!”
“The last time I heard about artificial intelligence beating humans was when Google’s AlphaGo beat the world’s best Go master!”
There is a lot of excitement on the Internet, and everyone is discussing the fact that ourLife online game is controlled by AI.
"We demand to know how this AI was produced!"
"The AI in the game all has its source. Your company doesn't even know this, right?"
The reporters at the scene all shouldered heavy responsibilities, and like the most powerful lawyers in court, they tortured ourLife's executives.
Those senior executives were asked so much that sweat broke out on their foreheads. Under the strong light, everyone's face was shiny, and they lost their usual aloof elegance and arrogance.
"Yes! If you don't make it clear, we won't accept your apology!"
"You are deliberately hiding the truth!"
The reporters were filled with indignation, and there was a wave of craze on the Internet all over the world. They wanted to arrest everyone in ourLife and hang them in front of their company building.
Under such strong pressure, and even with some countries hinting at the threat of force, ourLife executives finally gave in.
They produced the final piece of evidence.
"Dear journalists, viewers in front of the TV, and ourLife gamers, this matter actually has nothing to do with our company." The company's legal counsel finally stood up and offered the final plan.
"This is a transfer agreement signed by a scientist named Song Haichuan with us more than 20 years ago."
"He transferred his game source code to us to develop the game, and we transferred 10 percent of the annual revenue to his Swiss bank account."
Immediately afterwards, the legal consultant threw out a signed transfer agreement, along with a Swiss bank transfer record.
The Swiss Bank immediately checked and five minutes later confirmed that the bank account indeed belonged to Song Haichuan and that there were transfer records for so many years.
It turns out that this game has been around for more than 20 years, but when it started, it was not an online game, but a stand-alone game.
Later, with the development of VR technology, game companies began to develop virtual reality games based on this source code.
It is this virtual reality game that made ourLife a popular game around the world and brought astronomical profits to the company.
"We are very sorry for causing this trouble to everyone. After discussion and decision by the board of directors, we will donate all the company's net profits over the years to establish ourLife Foundation to provide necessary assistance to the 50 million families of injured gamers."
All other apologies are false. Only an apology with real money is real.
OurLife's gesture finally eased the uproar of public opinion around the world.
At this moment, a reporter asked again: "Who is this Song Haichuan? Why did he sign a transfer agreement with you?"
"If his source code is so powerful, why doesn't he start his own game company?"
This penetrating question left game company executives unable to answer.
They shrugged and said, "You can ask Mr. Song Haichuan this question yourself."
"Oh? Where is he? Do you have his contact information?" the reporter asked, looking very excited.
"Yes! Publish his contact information!"
"Let everyone see what kind of crazy scientist can write such an evil program!"
The trend on the Internet changed again, and everyone began to think about the meaning behind this game, and why did this scientist sign the transfer agreement
Due to strong external pressure, ourLife executives finally announced Song Haichuan's identity and contact information at the end of the press conference.
"Song Haichuan, male, high-energy physicist of the Chinese Empire, once..."
Before the executive finished speaking, their live TV broadcast was suddenly cut off.
TV sets around the world experienced a brief blue screen of signal interruption, and then shortly after, the signal was restored.
What everyone saw was no longer the conference room of the gaming company in the Cayman Islands, but a bright starry sky.
Just as the stars were shining, a thin and handsome Chinese man appeared on the TV screen.
He smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, AI is a friend of mankind, not an enemy of mankind."
"Come on, come to our world and play together."
After that, the signal was briefly interrupted again.
After a while, the scene in the conference room just now returned to the TV screen.
The executives and reporters looked at each other and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads in unison.
Just now... they were quietly invaded by AI? !
"Who is that man?!"
There is no need for game company executives to answer, people have already used the powerful network to search for the man's identity.
"Song Haichuan, a high-energy physicist in the Chinese Empire, was the director of the Chinese Institute of High Energy Physics. He died nineteen years ago after an experiment failed."
"What?! He's dead?!"
"What the hell? I don't believe he's dead!"
Everyone's anger had just found a vent, but they soon discovered that this person was no longer in this world.
How is this possible? !
So this torrent of anger was led by others and flowed towards the Chinese Empire.
Another public opinion, also known as "conspiracy theory", began to appear on the Internet.
"Do you remember that the first message asking us not to turn off the games and helmets came from the Chinese Empire's TV station?"
"Remember! I still remember that they also said that even people who have been diagnosed as brain-dead because of this game, as long as they have not been cremated, can be connected to ventilators, computers and helmets, and maybe they can be saved!"
"Yes, yes! These two methods have saved many people!"
"But why do they know this method can save people?!"
"... It's scary to think about it, Mfriends."
"...It seems...probably...I kind of believe it..."
"You think, could it be that the Chinese Empire 'cries to catch thieves'?"
"What you're saying upstairs is that the Chinese Empire is the mastermind behind this game?!"
"Huh? This seems to be a great possibility!"
"That's right! I do supercomputing. As far as I know, the Chinese Empire has ranked first in supercomputing for many years in a row!"
"Their quantum computer also has a major breakthrough!"
"Not just quantum computers?! There is also the Nandou Global Satellite Communication System and the only country that has landed on the back of the moon!"
"Tsk, tsk, the great Eastern countries are accustomed to 'hiding their strength and biding their time'. How much strength do they hide?!"
"The look confirmed that this was done by the Chinese Empire!"
"Don't blame this poor company, they are just scapegoats!"
"The Chinese Empire is the first-class evil empire!"
"Down with the evil empire!"
"Give back my player's life!"
"We must demand national compensation from China!"
"A country that plays such evil tricks is not worthy of being a great country!"
In just one press conference, the world's public opinion miraculously changed, and all the targets were directed at the "Chinese Empire", which was originally the savior of the world!
…
Lu Jin and Huo Shaoheng also watched the live TV broadcast in Huo Shaoheng's official residence.
They also noticed the shocking reversal of online public opinion, and the expressions on the faces of the four people were not very good.
Lu Jin said angrily: "What a bunch of brainless bastards! If I had known, I wouldn't have said anything!"
"If they die, it's none of my business!"
Lu Yuan sighed.
He and Song Jinning did not go back to Xishan Villa these days. Instead, they lived in the official residence nearby. During the day, they went to Huo Shaoheng to take care of Gu Nianzhi and discuss countermeasures.
Seeing Lu Jin blushing with anger, Lu Yuan deliberately changed the subject and said, "Do you think what they said is true or false? - Is artificial intelligence really that powerful?"
Lu Jin snorted disdainfully, "AlphaGo is also called AI? Don't insult AI. AlphaGo is just a computer with very powerful computing power at best. When it comes to true artificial intelligence, it has not even touched the edges."
Song Jinning shook his head and said disapprovingly: "General, Alpha Dog's learning ability is very powerful..."
"No, that's not called learning ability, it's still a summary of calculations." Lu Jin refuted Song Jinning without hesitation, "As long as the calculation ability is strong enough and all the chess routines are recorded in a calculation way, it will Can find the most powerful chess strategy to defeat humans."
"However, this is still not true artificial intelligence. It is just a manifestation of humans maximizing the computing capabilities of computers."
"Then what is real artificial intelligence?" Lu Yuan crossed his arms and sat next to Song Jinning, trying to help her speak.
But if Lu Jin starts a fight, even Lu Yuan is no match for him.
Lu Jin glanced at him coldly and said with a straight face: "Alfa Dog defeating humans in board games is not called artificial intelligence."
"When it realizes that it cannot defeat humans, and resorts to insidious tricks to harm its opponents, it is called true artificial intelligence. - So, I say that Alpha Dog is still just a dog, and it is still far from being a human!"
Lu Yuan: "..."
Song Jinning: "..."
Huo Shaoheng: "..."
These three people were speechless.
After a while, Huo Shaoheng said quietly: "According to your logic, the AI of ourLife game seems to have produced a real artificial intelligence."
Song Jinning nodded and agreed: "Yes, you see, the AI in this game can not only cut off contact with the outside world, but can also use the lives of 50 million players as hostages to protect itself."
"Whoever unplugs the power is the public enemy of mankind." Lu Yuan sighed, "Does this mean we humans will kill each other?"
"It's a bit interesting." Huo Shaoheng nodded slowly, "Such a sinister and cruel idea. I'm very curious about who cultivated this kind of AI."
Song Jinning opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she felt so sad that she didn't want to touch on this topic at all.
Only Lu Yuan understood what she meant, shook her hand hard, and said warmly: "If the AI of this game is really as vicious and cruel as Shao Heng said, I believe it has nothing to do with Mr. Song."
In fact, the four of them knew very well that the source of this game was Song Haichuan's 25-line source code.
Therefore, this AI is very likely to be related to Song Haichuan’s source code.
Lu Jian let out a strange sigh and said, "The nature of AI has nothing to do with the inventor of AI."
"A dragon gives birth to nine sons, and they are all different."
"Then you agree that this AI was born from my father?" Song Jinning mustered up the courage to look at Lu Jin, "Are the guesses of those people on the Internet right?"
In this room, Lu Jin's computer skills are the highest. She can distrust others, but she cannot distrust Lu Jin.
But Lu Jin shook his head, still denying it, and said, "No, I don't think this AI is related to your father Song Haichuan either."
Song Jinning breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said in surprise: "Do you really think so?!"
"Yes. Because according to my research results on your father, although his source code is powerful, it is not yet at the level of developing such advanced artificial intelligence." Lu Jin unceremoniously belittled Song Haichuan's computer capabilities.
Song Jinning twitched the corner of his mouth and didn't know what expression to make in response to Lu Jin.
Lu Jin lightly tapped the back of the sofa with his fingers, stared at the TV, and said seriously: "I don't even have the ability to do such an AI. Who else in the world has this ability?"
