The Mechanic

Chapter 111: Sacrifice the Lamb (2)

Views:

Eden urged Adam several times in a row to let him do it.

Time passed by, and in each instant, more extended AIs were infected. Although there are only a few eye AIs that are closer to Eden's core system infected by the virus so far, a new type of artificial intelligence operation mode formed by three super AIs poses a great threat to Eden, making it It was unable to break through their defenses in an effective way to regain control, and even its behavioral patterns were predicted to some extent. This is something that has never happened before.

Fortunately, an hour ago, Eden recaptured a satellite AI controlled by Zhang Xun, but the three AIs on Zhang Xun's side obviously thought of a way to use the extended AI that had been infected by them to form a wider network, further But it affects all AI systems they can connect to. Although not as fast as direct infection from satellites, the spread is wider.

The situation is still under Eden's control. However, one after another, AI disobeyed orders, causing serious chaos in human transportation, finance, life, etc., causing panic, and gradually began to cause trouble to Eden.

For two hundred years, the common world's trust in Eden has been based on the belief that it will never go wrong and will never be defeated or controlled by any force. The damage caused by these out-of-control and chaos is far more serious and far-reaching than it seems.

Zhang Xun is planting suspicion and distrust of AI in human beings. Combined with the rumors circulating on the Internet about a super virus that can destroy Eden, the seeds of doubt will soon take root.

Plus, Eden knew what Zhang Xun was looking for. Once Zhang Xun hacks into the core AI of those institutions that have studied nanorobots, it will cause significant disruption to its plans to upload humans.

Adam dragged on until Eden began to call the North American Mechanical Soldier Corps, and finally sighed and said, "Release the tide."

It seemed that Jian Mo's eyes, who had been waiting for his words for a long time, flashed with excitement. The Tide is an upgraded version of the nano-robot that Zhang Xun secretly began to research with Adam before he was imprisoned, the smallest robot in the world that can be used as a weapon at the macro level.

Originally Adam wanted to complete it with Zhang Xun, but Zhang Xun had already begun to have doubts about Adam and Pan at that time.

Jian Mo knew that Zhang Xun had an extraordinary meaning to Adam, not only AI's special obsession with administrators, but also some human-like obsessions.

Jian Mo thought that if he got Zhang Xun's seat, he could inherit Adam's special treatment of Zhang Xun, but found that he still thought too simple. Although Zhang Xun has now completely become a public enemy of the world, he still has some inexplicable envy.

"Adam!" Fernandez, who had been silent for a while, finally couldn't help it. He glared at Adam and said word by word, "Are you really going to kill him?!"

Adam knew who Fernandez was referring to, and there was no crack in his expression, as calm as a mask, "This is something that has to be done. Even if I don't do it, Eden will do it. It's up to me, He still has a chance."

Fernandez didn't think there was any valid reason for this at all, "Or you can don't do it!"

"Are you asking an AI not to do its work?" Adam turned his head slightly, hiding a bit of unnoticeable slump in his calmness, "You are the second person in charge of the Lab, an excellent mechanic, you I should know that what you said means nothing to me."

"Yes, for AI, for Eden, Zhang Xun is a threat. But you are no longer a complete AI!"

"Fernandez." Jian Mo winked at him, motioning him not to continue talking, then took out his tablet, tapped a few fingers on the thin translucent sheet, and said, "The tide has release."

Adam suddenly had a cold war.

He doesn't believe in hunches, and he doesn't understand hunches. He and Eden will only analyze and predict the direction of events based on data. But now, he suddenly understood a little bit, what the human hunch was.

Like now, although there is not enough data to support it, he feels very uncomfortable, as if something very unfortunate will happen.

As if he had made a very wrong decision.

… … … … … … … … …

Zhang Xun's eyes were fixed on the world map in front of him, and the red and blue dots on it densely covered almost all the land. Each dot is an extended robot or individual AI, with the blue one representing Eden and the red one representing the AI already controlled by them.

The red and blue wrestling played out silently on the map, each time they managed to advance a few steps, starting from those countries that were not so closely related to Eden and spreading to the developed countries, but Eden always pushed back. . They had lost control of one satellite an hour ago, and if they lost the remaining satellite, they were all but doomed.

Five hours have passed since the conversation between him and Adam, and Adam still hasn't started, so he doesn't know how to feel. But no matter what, Phoenix has activated all the defense and counterattack systems of Feathered Serpent City, and various detection robots distributed in the surrounding tropical forest are constantly detecting any individuals who make obvious behaviors close to Feathered Serpent City, whether it is Humans are still animals. Once they are found, they will try to expel them immediately. If the other party continues to approach and show threatening behavior, the neutralization process will be started immediately.

"We must grab at least one more satellite." Zhang Xun asked, "Do you think there is any way to occupy enough Eden operating resources?"

"Using the AI we already control to cause massive chaos in the city. Or use more aggressive means to provoke international disputes, we now control the core AI of two nuclear-armed nations, and so far our invasion," said Phoenix. It hasn't been found yet."

"No." Zhang Xun categorically refused, "Never use nuclear weapons."

"A small amount of individual sacrifice can be exchanged for a large enough group benefit." Morningstar argues.

However, Pan said, "I don't agree. The boundaries between individuals and groups are difficult to define, and our duty is to protect human beings as much as possible."

Zhang Xun glanced at Pan gratefully.

Pan continued, "With the resources we currently have, we can cut power to about 12 percent of North American cities, including many key cities, including financial centers like New York. We can cut power to these cities, causing two human races The first major power outage in a century."

Big power outage. Such an event happened two hundred years ago when the Third World War broke out. The strong electromagnetic waves under the impact of the super nuclear bomb destroyed half of the electrical circuits of the United States. You can never imagine how reliant humans are on electricity, let alone how quickly human society begins to fall apart when electricity is taken away.

Stock exchanges cannot be carried out, factories cannot operate, the heating system is completely paralyzed in the cold winter, the bank security system has only a few fragile doors, even the traffic system is in chaos, the signal lights are disabled, and the aircraft cannot receive the signal from the control tower. Some people are trapped in office buildings, others are trapped outside their homes, and the transition from initial anger and irritability to later panic has happened in an instant.

When the batteries of cellphones and computers run out, when all backup engines start to fail, when real darkness and cold fall... Within three days, riots begin in the city. People flooded the streets to express their fear and anger at a loss. Countless shops were smashed, banks were looted, and houses were ablaze, illuminating the dark sky.

And this time the power outage will only have a bigger impact than it was two hundred years ago. After all, human beings have already relied too much on AI and electronic products. Even human language is declining. Without driverless cars, people can’t even get out of the door. Without housekeeper robots, people don’t even know how to get food. Familiar, no fingerprint or pupil recognition people can't find a way to open the door.

And the power outage meant that Eden lost control of those cities.

Maybe it's time for humanity to feel some existential crisis.

"Okay, just do it." Zhang Xun ordered.

When the three robots sent out instructions and their plans quickly unfolded, Phoenix suddenly reported, "A large-scale abnormality has occurred in the monitoring robot system outside Feathered Serpent City. All robots have been disconnected."

A cold current passed through Zhang Xun's body, and a slightly dull indifference appeared on his face.

Adam started.

He looked up at the scene around Feathered Serpent City displayed on the surrounding walls. At this time, the sun was setting, and the splendid rosy glow of violets gradually burned from the horizon to the green sea composed of trees, and the mountains in the distance were hidden in the misty light and mist. A small black dot hovering in the distant sky could be vaguely seen.

That was a fleet from Paradise Lost.

Everything is so peaceful and peaceful, and there is no abnormality in sight.

What the hell did Adam do

"Electromagnetic Pulse?"

"Not an EMP. The last immediate report from the detection robot showed that no abnormality was detected."

Zhang Xun turned his head, constantly switching the scenes that the surveillance cameras in Feathered Serpent City could capture. He could feel an looming pressure, a creepy goosebumps all over his eyes, out of sight.

Just then, they saw it.

It was a wondrous sight, as if it had come out of the air out of thin air. The purple clouds they thought, the beautiful haze, gradually began to condense around them, gradually becoming thicker, rolling back and forth, changing colors, like the whistling waves drenched by rainbows, surging towards them from all directions.

That kind of surging, that kind of tumbling, that kind of aura that devours the world is extremely gorgeous and magnificent, but at the same time, it is so silent, it doesn't startle a piece of dust, and it doesn't lift half a leaf.

Zhang Xun remembered the improved nano-robots Adam showed him in the Lab. They danced at his fingertips, circling and twisting, as if they were alive.

The world's tiniest robot that can penetrate any crevice, even less dense objects. Adam actually weaponized it.

All the defensive measures of Feathered Serpent City are aimed at the most advanced weapons in the world, and even medium-sized nuclear bombs can be resisted. But... it's not ready for something like this.

He didn't seem to be surprised, but he still had a vague premonition that he might not be able to defeat Adam and Eden after all.
