Adrian said angrily: "Again, I didn't intend to hit him!"

"No way, bro, the people you beat up over the years can circle the headquarters building of the military region three times! Aren't you the type who can do it without talking nonsense?" Finn said exaggeratedly, "Even the two of us have fought!"

"That's why you deserve a beating." Adrian raised his hand to stop what he wanted to refute, too lazy to talk. "Have you got the list from the specimen?"

Finn seemed to want to continue this topic, but since Adrian mentioned the business, he had no choice but to temporarily put away his curiosity.

"Not long after arriving, the liaison officer came back a few minutes before you, here."

Adrian took the stack of white papers. The information carriers are almost all virtual screens, and even physical screens are rare today. Ordinary citizens have almost no chance to come into contact with this ancient information carrier. Real paper . "Specimen" activities have always been cautious. They firmly adhere to the principle of one-to-one human flesh transmission of messages. Short messages are passed on word of mouth, or written with a pen—retro mechanical pen, not the kind used on the virtual screen—on hand, which is too long. For example, this time, the list of anti-artificial intelligence faculty and staff that can be confirmed by the highest federal university can only be used in paper.

The status of the highest institution in the federation is very special. A hundred years ago, after several generations of unremitting attempts and several failures, human beings finally created a mature artificial small planet that can operate independently. It costs a lot to maintain the normal operation of an artificial planet. What to do, the entire federation was arguing, some supported the relocation of the Academy of Sciences, some said to build an ecological landscape planet, and some asked to develop it into a high-level settlement—finally given by the first-generation artificial intelligence "cocoon" at that time Proposal to build a school.

The school is sacred, and many dissatisfied voices have subsided, and the highest institution of the Federation has settled down. Most of the entire planet is a campus, and the rest is the living area of the family members of the faculty and staff. Human beings' first man-made small planet became a pure school planet, and its name followed the name of the school, and it was designated as Xuefuxing.

Less than three years after the completion of the highest federal university, the first generation of artificial intelligence "cocoon" announced its retirement, and mankind has entered a new era of safety, efficiency, and comprehensive optimization.

The highest university in the Federation has only recruited the best students in the Federation since the first batch of students, and the graduation ceremony of the first batch of students three years later is the first graduation season of the Federation after the new artificial intelligence "Butterfly" is launched. .

It can be said that the highest institution of higher learning was born precisely because of artificial intelligence, and its century-old honor is closely connected with "Butterfly". Loyalty is high. The students here set an example for the students all over the world, and personally support the decision to obey the "butterfly". Over the past hundred years, most of the students who came out of here occupied important positions and multiplied, giving birth to dozens of new aristocratic families. These families, together with the old family forces, intertwined into a complex social network of the capital star's upper class.

It was not until the last 30 years that students from the highest institutions of higher learning openly rejected the arrangement of "Butterfly" at the graduation ceremony. It was not until ten years ago that radical anti-artificial intelligence voices appeared on this planet for the first time. No one thought that, The wheel of history has come to this day, and the graduation ceremony of the highest federal institution that has celebrated its 100th anniversary has actually calculated a rejection rate as high as 46%. Forty-one percent of the record.

With such a high percentage among students, it must also be among professors and staff. It’s just that some people have stated their positions, some have spoken ambiguously, and some have remained silent. It’s true and false, and it’s just that you have to find out before you can take any action. This is why Adrian’s side and the “specimen” have a school star rating Contact the department and negotiate information sharing with the other party.

Adrian flipped through these pages, and thought: "Some people's positions... can be used."

Finn nodded in agreement. He had obviously studied the list beforehand, and said, "The liaison officer has applied for a private meeting with you tomorrow. The 'specimen' person gave him a message about their next plan in Xuefu Planet." .”

"Okay, I'll talk to him first." Adrian said, raised his head and stretched his muscles, and asked casually, "How is the reaction of the people today?"

Fein's eyes lit up instantly. He thought that Adrian was finally going to talk to him about Zhong Yan, and he said in a rush, "What else can I do! It's fried! Oh, you didn't read it, said There are all kinds of things. Some said that you bullied others too much, leading a group of people to bully that person at the door, some guessed what you said when you met outside in the afternoon, some said that whoever occupied the magpie's nest, now it seems to be Art My young master, the most talked about must be the fact that you were judged to be married. The supporters of both of you are crazy and are madly attacking each other and conspiracy theories—by the way, what does 'above' mean? I saw someone Deciphered that who's lips."

Adrian looked at him with a headache, "I asked... what is the reaction of the people to the 46% rejection rate of the highest school."

"Oh, that." Fein shrugged, "No one pays attention, isn't that normal? It just increased by five percentage points, which is not as good as last year."

In the middle of last year, a serious artificial intelligence misjudgment incident broke out in Capital Star. A young girl who had published anti-artificial intelligence remarks in the virtual community for several years and was relatively well-known in certain forums was involved in a civil dispute. wrongly found guilty. The whole incident continued to ferment for several months, and the Supreme Court apologized and admitted that the case was misjudged. Although the Supreme Council has repeatedly stated that this is only a mistake with a small probability, because "Butterfly" is undergoing a routine update procedure, which is only related to technical problems and has nothing to do with other factors. However, the frenzy of public opinion has not stopped because of this. Over the years, one after another, whether true or false, has revealed that people are no longer pious and start to question whether the Supreme Council can manipulate the judgment result of "Butterfly" to some extent? Has "butterfly" lost the impartiality it has always upheld? Has artificial intelligence already developed the self-awareness to suppress dissidents

No matter which possibility is enough, ordinary people feel the crisis. By the end of the year, when major organizations conduct private surveys, the support rate for restoring human autonomy has broken through the 30% mark in one fell swoop.

"Last year, after all, there was a big event that stimulated the public, and this year has been stable. This kind of increase is actually quite impressive." Adrian said, "Last year's incident, after all, is not a means to get on the table. Citizens should think from the bottom of their hearts. , and then approved, only then... "

Finn interrupted: "Why can't you get on the stage? I think it's good. In the end, it was the demon moth who misjudged and harmed people first, and the 'specimen' people seized the opportunity to promote the fermentation of the matter and incite the public's emotions. But It's just an accelerated process. Some people are just superstitious about demon moths, and they won't be able to wake up without some major incident. Then again," Fein shook the list in his hand, "What is the origin of this organization? They are behind the big scandals that broke out in these years, right? There are a few sources who are amazing. Just last year’s misjudgment incident, they were able to get back the internal documents of Capital Star Central Hospital. And this school The list... Some positions are high enough, how can they get in touch? Shall we check it?"

Adrian tapped on the table, and said slowly: "It doesn't matter, being cautious is the way of survival for this kind of underground organization. If you can't hide your death, you will be taken over by the pot. As long as you don't put your hand into Na'vi, I won't care about them." .”

While they were chatting, Adrian received a message from Wei Lan, reporting the progress of Zhong Yan's treatment.

Zhong Yan was lying on the bed with a sleepy expression. The medicine took effect in his body, and he was already much more comfortable. But he was tired and a little sleepy.

The room is at a constant temperature, the most scientific temperature, but his body temperature is slowly dropping, and it is a little cold for no reason, and he really wants to cover him with something. Zhong Yan looked left and right, and there was really nothing to cover except for the coat that Adrian left behind by the bed.

He gave up searching and covered himself with the coat again, when suddenly, something hard hit him. Zhong Yan touched there strangely, and took out a camera that was completely out of shape.

Adrian pushed the door open and came in, and saw Zhong Yan half-sitting on the bed, playing with the wreckage of the camera boredly.

"What is this?" Seeing him coming in, Zhong Yan held it up and asked him, "Is it a patrol camera in the school?"

Adrian pulled out a chair and put it in the corner of the room farthest from him, "Yes."

Zhong Yan was puzzled, "Why are you destroying the camera?"

"No reason, it's not good to see it."

This question made Adrian unhappy for some reason—he didn't say it, but Zhong Yan could hear it. He wisely did not continue to ask, and started a new topic.

"I need to contact my assistant. The signal in this room is blocked? Can I go out and contact them?"

"No. Shall I let you out so that you can take a peek at the structure of my warship?"

Zhong Yan's mind is much clearer than before, and his mood is always stable when he is sober. He said calmly: "Your warship is a standard small federal warship with high equipment."

"It's been modified. There are secret weapons all over the floor outside this door. Didn't you see me watching you here in person? It's the middle of the night, haven't you tossed enough?" Adrian said impatiently, "The bed is given to you. Seeing that I haven't changed my mind, go to bed quickly."

Zhong Yan has nothing to do with the other party's unreasonableness, but the night is really late, after all, here is a grand ceremony just held the day before, and the focus is on the stars of the school, it is not suitable to go out for activities at this time... He silently accepted the other party's request Proposal, prepare to leave tomorrow.

It's just... he's actually a little thirsty.

Zhong Yan opened his mouth and closed it again. Adrian said don't call him by his name, but if he asked him to pour water without saying a title first, I'm afraid he would be even angrier. Zhong Yan couldn't think of what to call him for a while, of course he could choose to accept Adrian's request, and call him "Commander Yate"—he has hundreds of millions of dollars with the Federation, and has nothing to do with Adrian. same as people in relationship.

Adrienne didn't pay any attention to him, and was working on his own virtual screen, probably dealing with military documents.

Zhong Yan thought about it, and finally called out: "... classmate, can you pour me a glass of water?"
