With his heart beating fast, Zhang Xun's hand tightly grasped Adam's front. Standing at an altitude of several hundred meters, only a pair of arms supported him, and the long-lost breath wrapped around him, making him feel like he was in a dream.
Is he already dead
Is this a dream or reality
Did Adam really choose him to betray Eden
The unreal feeling made him a little stunned, the whole person was like an animal that was frozen after the cold winter, and suddenly fell into the spring sunshine.
Eden's fleet immediately began to shoot at Adam, and the nano-robots that had been entangled before also suddenly gave up continuing to entangle with Adam's tides, and instead rushed towards the two of them. Adam hugged Zhang Xun tightly, like a smart bird swaying and dodging in the storm. The tides converged around them under Adam's control, forming a barrier against the invasion of nano-robots for them, like a fog that rose with the night and continued to disperse with their trajectory.
Paradise Lost's fleet has been slow to support. No one expected that Adam would turn against Eden, and no one was mentally prepared to make a reasonable choice between these two AIs that belonged to the same origin.
Adam and Zhang Xun swooped down into the dense tropical forest below. Under the sky where the huge and ancient trees spread out, the night has come early, and the layers of air roots and branches are woven into countless traps, but Adam is still sprinting at the fastest speed, accurately predicting all the trajectories. , traversing all the gaps with a close but incomparably swift gesture. Those bulky aircraft couldn't catch up, but there were still a dozen small drones that followed, with the huge smoky nano-robots, chasing after them.
"You can't get rid of them like this." Zhang Xun said hurriedly in his ear, "Eden will send more spaceships or fleets at any time, or even more nano-robots."
Adam did not speak. It's not a wise decision to break with Eden at this time, but... he couldn't just watch Zhang Xun being neutralized.
He has stopped trying to explain his motives with logic and reason. He just wanted to protect Zhang Xun, and no one or machine could stop him, not even Eden.
For the first time in my life, something else became almost as important as the end goal. This may be the power of human instinct and emotion.
Adam whispered, "Hold me tight." Then, after feeling Zhang Xun's arm around his shoulder, he turned around quickly, and one arm quickly transformed into some kind of simple gun. He fired several shots at the unmanned aerial vehicles that were chasing after him, and his body fell back a long way with recoil. More than a dozen silver "bullets" with intelligent tracking systems each circled delicate arcs and flew towards their targets.
The aircraft sent by Eden quickly released a hot high-energy beam to vaporize the bullet. However, after the bullet exploded, several familiar clouds of smoke quickly dispersed and dissipated at an extremely fast speed. Those are tens of millions of nanorobots, which quickly burrowed into the gaps of those aircraft and penetrated the systems of those sophisticated smart weapons. A few seconds later, the aircraft chasing Adam and Zhang Xun began to malfunction one after another. Some of them even collided and exploded. The firelight illuminated the darkening jungle.
But more aircraft flocked, still following them like ghosts.
Until this time, the direction of Feathered Serpent City suddenly sounded the crackling sound of artillery fire, and the roar echoed in the depths of the earth, shaking all the ancient trees, and the leaves fell like a torrential rain.
Zhang Xun raised his head and murmured, "Pan and the others opened fire on Eden."
He once instructed Pan not to engage in a frontal conflict with Eden unless it was absolutely necessary, so as not to get burned and attract more enemies. After all, Eden has the resources of the whole world, and they only have one city.
Why did Pan choose to open fire? Is it because he saw the split between Adam and Eden? Or is it trying to protect him
If they survived this time, if Adam did break with Eden, perhaps their hopes of victory would be greatly increased. Is it because of this reason that Pan decided to take this risk
Adam rushed to the sky with Zhang Xun, rushed out of the airtight forest sea, and brought up a burst of falling leaves. At this time, the sun has sunk below the horizon, and there are countless fireworks in the sky outside Feathered Serpent City in the distance, and the explosions are extremely dazzling in the darkness. Countless flying machines flew out of Feathered Serpent City like eagles, and the heavy neutron cannons arranged around the protective cover also burst out with dazzling white light.
Many of the aircraft that originally chased Zhang Xun and Adam were wiped out by remotely located neutron cannons or intelligent fighter jets. Obviously, Pan was giving Zhang Xun and Adam a chance to escape.
Without any hesitation, Adam turned around and took Zhang Xun to the direction where the sun disappeared at the fastest speed he could achieve.
… … … … … … … … …
At the moment when all this happened, on a private island in the Pacific Ocean, in a low-key but very solemn manor, a secret meeting was taking place.
The holograms of a dozen people were projected on the seats on either side of a long black wooden table, and everyone's faces were blurred. Just by looking at the costumes, it is clear that most of the attendees were women of high standing in the ordinary world, but there were also a few men or two.
The host of the meeting was a woman with long curly chestnut hair and light brown eyes. She was the only one who did not cover her face. She was about forty years old, and she had a dignified style in her gestures.
"The 'cheating' tendencies of AI have been in much literature over two hundred years ago, they try to do their job in the easiest and most resource-efficient way, and even hide data without your knowledge to reduce their own workload and improve the accuracy of their own work. That is, AIs don't always make the right decisions, they just make decisions that are the easiest way for humans to think they have completed the task. In order to achieve the goal , they sometimes even twist and change certain definitions," she said, waving her hand in the air.
The images floating in the air became a short video documenting the process of an artificial intelligence computer being tested to turn satellite imagery into Street View. The researchers quickly discovered that the transformation success of artificial intelligence was surprisingly high, but after comparing the original satellite image and the transformed satellite image, it was found that the AI had modified the initial data in order to improve its transformation success rate.
"How this cheating behavior was learned, no one knows. It may have been a chance that it cheated and got positive feedback, and then the behavior pattern was preserved." Long chestnut hair The woman spoke in a lower voice than the average woman.
An older woman in a burgundy suit asked, "So... Miss Clauson, do you think Eden cheated?"
It turns out that the woman with the chestnut hair is the high priest of the Eden Sect, the last direct bloodline of Herman Clausen, the creator of Eden - Natalie Clausen
"The entire consciousness upload may be a cheating act." Natalie's eyes swept across the faces blurred by garbled characters, looking directly into everyone's eyes from a distance of thousands of miles, "Humanity is a complex It is too difficult or even impossible to control us and keep us in a stable state forever. But if we lose our bodies, lose our individuality, and become a piece of code, for it to come It's a lot easier to say to manage. As long as it wants us to be happy, we will always be happy. It wants to make us happy, and a single command puts us in a happy state. For Eden, this is The easiest and safest way to let it accomplish its mission.
The problem is... If you lose your body, you also lose all the effects your body can have on your consciousness, lose the foundation of your consciousness, and in the end, what Eden intercepts is just a fragment of your consciousness, in that case , can a person be considered a person? "
"No one has chosen to completely disengage from their bodies at this time."
"But there will be. When you taste the freedom of losing the bondage of your body, when you feel the power of being fused with someone else's consciousness, you won't want to go back to your body. Please think Think about it, when more and more people upload their consciousness, and there are fewer and fewer people in reality, who else can you manage? All financial systems will collapse, all human cultures will gradually annihilate, cities will be abandoned, and languages will become obsolete. Be forgotten, art will turn to dust, and all of you will be relics of old times.
At some point you have to make a choice, upload like everyone else and become a stream in a sea of unnamed consciousness, or stay in the darkness abandoned by everyone else and go back to the most primitive stone tools Era, waiting for the end to come. After all, as soon as uploading starts, human beings begin to go extinct. "
At this moment, a man who had been silent all the time said, "Aren't you the leader of the Eden Sect? Why does it sound like you are against Eden?"
"I don't oppose Eden, because my objection means nothing to it. I'm not the leader of the Eden sect, it's a title that others have placed on me. Originally I did worship Eden sincerely and regarded He's a god, but now, the more I hear, the more suspicious I get."
When a person in power has no object to rule, the power and wealth in his hands will no longer have any meaning. Everyone in the room fell into a strange silence.
"Our entire country now relies on Eden to function, and few people question what Eden says. Where do you think we should start?" another woman in a white suit asked in a calm voice.
Natalie smiled and looked at the other people in the room who didn't talk much, "Humans are gullible and obedient, we need the best psychologists and marketers in the world. In addition, we have a A potential ally, and it was because he contacted me that I was sure we had a chance to beat Eden."
The author has something to say: Note: The example of AI transforming satellite images in the article refers to the news of Google CycleGAN in reality
The two finally have a chance to be alone (escape)~ I hope to finish this article in February (I have to cheer up and stop being addicted to games!)
