"Aren't you angry with me?" Zhong Yan asked in disbelief.
Adrian stretched out his hand to pinch Zhong Yan's cheek, "I'll tell you the truth, in fact, I haven't mentioned this to you because I feel uncomfortable when I think that our marriage was arranged by 'Butterfly'. Now that I don't, I'm much more comfortable."
Zhong Yan suddenly felt like he was alive after a catastrophe. He leaned over and retracted into Adrian's arms again, embarrassingly wiped away the remaining tears on his face.
"I didn't know that you liked me at the beginning, and I never thought that I could really get married. Since we got married unexpectedly, I have been thinking about what to do if you ask me one day. I don't want to lie to you. I will definitely tell the truth. But you're going to be angry. I thought, if you don't talk to me about it for the rest of your life, then I won't talk about it for the rest of your life."
Adrian's expression changed suddenly when he heard this, and it suddenly occurred to him that he was not going to tell Zhong Yan his original plan to come to Capital Star. Zhong Yan didn't notice his expression, and continued: "But today, we authorized the technical department to open Faller contacted me in the afternoon, and he proposed that we publish the meeting records of all the representatives present on the ninth floor, so as to combat the remaining competitors and ensure that the position of the president is only between me and him. , I refused. The records of the Radical Party members are indeed shocking, but Farrer and I are not completely clean. He and I each have a record, and these two records are related to you. It is better not to hurt the enemy a thousand I've lost eight hundred of my own money."
"Wait... Each of you has a record, all related to me?" Adrian said inexplicably, "You are going to arrange your marriage with me. What is Uncle Farrer's record?"
Zhong Yan was also surprised and said: "Don't you know? Ten years ago, he violated the rules and cleared a school disciplinary record for you. I took a look... Anyway, if it is really announced, the whole world will know that you were in your teens. Sometimes I got into a fight with two seniors, and afterwards I got away with an uncle who was a non-voting member."
Adrian, who was caught off guard and recalled the memory of his boyhood: "..."
There was a punishment for that incident back then! He has no idea!
Zhong Yan said: "Actually, children's fights are not very serious. They are mainly students who have a record of punishment. They will definitely not be sorted into the highest school by 'Butterfly'. I am afraid that someone will spread to this and question your admission qualifications back then. .”
"It's a good thing he canceled it for me." Adrian said with fear, "If I don't enter the highest school, I won't meet you."
Zhong Yan gave him a reproachful look and said, "It's business."
Adrian said seriously: "What I'm talking about is also a business. Okay, okay, let's get back to the topic, since you decided not to announce it, why did you suddenly decide to tell me today?"
"You're going to bring it up someday, and besides, I just happened to meet that, uh, that person today, I thought..."
"Who?" Adrian subconsciously asked, and then suddenly realized who Zhong Yan was talking about, and his whole body went bad in an instant, "You met? In the House? Someone you know? Is it your colleague? What's your name? How is your usual relationship?"
Seeing the offended expression on his face, Zhong Yan said dumbfoundingly: "It's not someone I know, I don't even see what his face looks like, it should be someone you know."
He told the ins and outs, and Adrian gritted his teeth and said, "That's the eldest grandson of my grandfather's younger brother, my cousin. I'm going to visit Art's house tomorrow..."
"Don't!" Zhong Yan hastily grabbed his clothes, "Now we know who it is and we are the only ones. Wouldn't it make a big fuss if you go to your grandfather Xingshi to ask the crime? Besides, there is no crime to ask, you think?" I wonder if it's over, we're all married. No matter who it is, I'll replace him with you, don't be angry... "
It took him a long time to comfort him, and he finally persuaded Adrian to give up the idea of entering Yate's house tomorrow, but until the day when the two embraced each other and fell asleep, Adrian was still muttering and cursing artificial intelligence unconvinced, The strength in hugging Zhong Yan was also a little tighter than usual, as if he was afraid that he would run away with others.
Many years later, once when Adrian and Zhong Yan were shopping together in Capital Star, they ran into a group of Fode Arter by chance. Silver eyes, asked Adrian: "Your relative?"
Adrian glanced at Fode unhappily, and answered Zhong Yan, "I'm a cousin."
It is said that Fode complained to his friends afterwards that Adrian really did not miss the old relationship. When he was three or four years old, he followed him every day and called him brother, but now he is only "a cousin".
On the third day after the passage of the impeachment order, the Ministry of Technology reported several very serious problems to several congressmen who presided over the social transition work on the interim agency.
"What does it mean that the authority cannot be revoked?" Farrar asked, frowning.
Zhong Yan followed up and asked: "Be more specific, which permissions of 'Butterfly' cannot be revoked?"
The technician wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "There are quite a few permissions related to the military that we cannot close, including... the launch authority of all antimatter weapons, biological and chemical weapons, and nuclear weapons."
There was a deathly silence in the conference room. A few seconds later, a member of parliament asked: "Can't you just shut down 'Butterfly' permanently? If you can ensure that it never wakes up again, then it doesn't matter how many permissions it has."
The technician shook his head and said: "Permanently shutting down the artificial intelligence itself is indeed a once-and-for-all solution, but it is precisely because we do not have the right to permanently shut down 'butterfly' that we resort to the next best thing and shut down its permissions one by one. According to our investigation According to the hundred-year-old data archives in the research institute, the permanent shutdown authority of 'Butterfly' is only authorized to one person, and that is 'Cocoon'."
Several people present at the meeting showed astonishment, and a congressman couldn't help but said: "That's not considered a 'person'."
Farrar asked: "Only the 'cocoon' can completely shut down the 'butterfly'? But wasn't the 'cocoon' abandoned as early as the last century?"
"According to the archives, this is the case. But how it was dealt with back then, and whether it can be reawakened, I don't know. This time we checked and found that there are too few related files for 'cocoon'. The research institute mainly The data of 'butterfly', and it is also the data before it was created."
"What if we directly violently destroy the main server? Physical damage." Zhong Yan asked.
The technician said: "It is feasible, but this brings new problems. First, we need to know the physical location of the brain of 'Butterfly'."
Several congressmen were stunned, and the technician slapped his head and said, "Sorry, that's an industry term. We call the main server of the super artificial intelligence the 'brain' of the artificial intelligence. As long as the brain is not declared dead, it is still alive—I don't know. Knowing too much about medicine probably means this.”
Farrar asked: "Isn't the brain of 'Butterfly' on the top?" He pointed up with his hand, and everyone knew that he was talking about the ninth floor of the Supreme Council building.
"We thought it was there when we first took over, but after a thorough investigation yesterday, the ninth floor can only be regarded as... How can I describe it to you? If I insist on metaphors, uh, it is probably the limbs. Cutting off half of the heart would be considered a serious injury."
Everyone felt chills, and a congressman said, "You don't have to compare the human body to an adult."
"You don't understand me when I talk about professional terms." The young technician said helplessly, "The 'Butterfly' has been completed for almost a hundred years, and there have been no relevant records since it was completed. It is really too difficult to rely on us to investigate now without the original data."
"I suspect that the data is extremely lacking. Could it be destroyed by 'Butterfly' itself?" Farrar speculated, "It has been preparing for this day."
Zhong Yan said: "The most urgent thing is, how long do we have? How long can the dormant state of 'Butterfly' last?"
"Seven days." The technician answered him, "Once the seven days pass, the emergency protection program of 'Butterfly' will start, and it will wake up from hibernation. Today is already the third day."
Everyone is frowning. Do you want to wait for the "butterfly" to wake up and negotiate with it? Human beings have already determined to abolish it, and the atmosphere of this negotiation will not be very friendly, especially when one of the negotiating parties holds the right to launch heavy weapons that are powerful enough to destroy the Federation hundreds of times, there is no need for this negotiation to continue. Because human beings have no equal bargaining chips at all, they are doomed to fail.
So what can they do before the AI wakes up again? Destroying the Ninth Floor of the Supreme Council seems to be a temporary solution, and if they can't prevent "Butterfly" from awakening, will destroying the Ninth Floor further anger "Butterfly"
Butterfly's brain, its mainframe is not on the ninth floor, where else can it be? Where did the "cocoon" abandoned a hundred years ago go
No one can answer these questions, and no one can make a decision. The person who can make decisions on behalf of all human beings needs to shoulder the responsibility, but before that, he has the power to make decisions.
"I think it is imminent to elect an interim president." Farrar said in a deep voice, "We urgently need someone who can make a decision. Everything is like today in the past two days, so we have to hold a meeting , and often hinder each other... the efficiency is too slow. We can't wait."
Zhong Yan raised his head and looked at him, and said without showing emotion: "Mr. Kaman is right, and I think so too."
The few other people didn't say a word. The technician saw Zhong Yan from Farrer, and then saw Farrer from Zhong Yan. He seemed to have sensed the subtle undercurrent in the conference room, and said embarrassingly: " I have finished reporting what I should report, and then, Mr. Members, I will... go first?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Farrar spoke, but he was not talking to the technician: "Mr. Zhong Yan, can I go out and talk with you alone?"
