They plan to leave this icy abandoned Arctic expedition base at around 3pm tonight, when Pan and the two other super AIs begin to launch a massive wave of fake data on Eden Europe servers. The attack would last about three hours, long enough for them to enter the territory of the Greenlandic Freedmen.
Once in Greenland, they will contact Lucille and other freemen and mob leaders, and Natalie will contact her family at the same time. They will choose two people, plus Adam, according to Adam's collected data analysis, the three most likely to break through the defense position close to Eden's core biological server, try to inject the virus.
Zhang Xun listened to the whistling wind outside the inspection base, lay on his side on the creaky icy bed, and stared at the pendant in his hand. His dry thumb slowly rubbed the tangled vine pattern on the pendant, wisps, as if it were the most important thing in the world.
With a thud, he pulled him back from the trance state back to reality. Adam accidentally kicked his foot against the hard foot of the bed as he walked towards him, his handsome face contorted together, presumably from pain.
"… How are you?"
"It hurts..." Adam held on to the railing of the bed and slowed down for a while, almost like when they first met, Adam wasn't quite used to the human body. Adam, who was just learning to walk at the time, also often bumped into furniture because he was not skilled enough with his legs.
Adam limped over to Zhang Xun's side and sat down. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and took off his boots and socks to check his toes. Fortunately, the nails were not cut off...
The corner of Zhang Xun's mouth lifted slightly, and there was a rare urge to smile.
When was the last time you wanted to laugh
"Why have you been so clumsy lately?"
Adam looked at him with big blue eyes, and seemed a little aggrieved, "I've been in Eden's network for too long, and I have to re-adapt to the human body."
For AI, one second in the network field may be equivalent to several years, and the time unit cannot be compared with human... Maybe it is understandable.
Adam looked at the pendant in Zhang Xun's hand, a little surprised in his eyes, "You still keep it?"
"...There is no reason to throw it away."
"It doesn't matter if it's before the nano-robots are injected..." Adam didn't finish his words, but Zhang Xun knew what he meant.
Zhang Xun, who has gradually lost his identity as a human being, has also lost his emotional attachments. That's why he starts to become numb, lacks mood swings, and begins to develop a series of symptoms of depression.
Zhang Xun's love for Adam should have been lost in the process.
But obviously, Zhang Xun was still holding on to something and refused to let go. Even though he knew it was like sand and couldn't catch it, he still had to try.
"You know, in this world, there are not many people I have ever loved." Zhang Xun said softly, raising his deep eyes, a trace of sadness, entangled with Adam's eyes, "Now maybe only There's only one left. I think, with a little effort, you can always keep some."
To love an AI whose world view is completely different from his own is full of thorns and pain, but Zhang Xun still wants to choose to continue to love and continue to work hard to retain his own feelings. Because even pain is better than nothing.
Adam stared at him silently, something akin to sadness deep in his eyes. He was sad, and Zhang Xun twitched the corners of his mouth, trying to comfort him, "But you'll be fine, after all this is over, you can use my DNA model stored in your database to restore me, Is it right?"
Adam hesitated for a moment, nodded, and quietly held Zhang Xun's hand holding the pendant, "I will cure you."
But at this moment, there was a noise outside the door of the expedition team. Everyone immediately became alert, and Anya and Diego took up their weapons and aimed in the direction of the gate.
The door opened, and a tall and handsome man stood outside. Anya's eyes were cold, and she aimed the gun at the other party, "Who are you!"
"Anya, don't shoot." Zhang Xun looked at the man with a calm expression.
Anya glanced back at him, "You know him?"
The man standing at the door had clear green eyes and dark brown curly hair. His gaze passed through the gap between everyone and looked straight at Zhang Xun.
Zhang Xun nodded, "He is Pan, this is the body I gave him."
Adam opened his eyes slightly and turned to look at Pan. All his communication with Pan was in the field of electronics, he didn't know that A Xun also gave another AI body.
Pan looked around and quickly scanned every human body to make sure that none of them except the known Zhang Xun had been infected by the nanobots. Then he strode in, ignoring everyone else, and heading straight for Zhang Xun.
Zhang Xun almost thought that Pan wanted to give him a hug...
Of course this is not possible. A hug is a purely emotional gesture with no actual function.
Adam watched Pan's movements closely, and when he realized that he was starting to invade Zhang Xun's private space, he frowned and reached out to stop him.
Pan stopped and turned his head to stare at Adam in an overly steady way.
Adam stared at him too.
Blue eyes against green eyes, and something taut spreads in the air.
Everyone was a little nervous. These two AIs are now clearly on the same front, why is there a stance to fight now
Zhang Xun's eyes wandered between the two AIs, breaking the silence, "Pan, is this your extension or your core module?"
Pan turned to look at him. "It's my extension. I know you're fleeing to Greenland tonight, so I'm here to escort you."
"But aren't you going to attack Eden tonight? You need all the resources."
"Ensuring that you and others reach your destination safely is crucial to successfully defeating Eden. I have already done a simulation, and allocating one-fifteenth of the resources to come here will not affect our confrontation with Eden."
Panton paused and continued, "In addition, I took advantage of the opportunity lurking in the Eden Network to infiltrate various social networks, analyzed the demographic data in those websites, and located about 87 million people around the world who had anti-social media. The tendency of Eden and Fear to upload, accounts for one-fifth of the current population of the earth. This is only the more aggressive ones, and the other more neutral populations are easily influenced and deflected, so I did not choose them. I will one by one Established encrypted connections with these anti-Eden people and organized a new anti-Eden anti-uploading group. They called themselves Bronze Men.
They don't know my identity, but I set up a local area network for them in a certain area so that they can have unmonitored conversations and receive my commands. This time the Bronze Man will be social hacking all over the world at the same time as we attack Eden from the web. They'll sneak into the R&D center of the all-important city management extension AI and try to plant some basic virus or destroy the server. Therefore, according to the simulations and predictions made by me and Phoenix, this action will completely disrupt the order of at least 21 key cities, the traffic will be paralyzed, and the power supply will be cut off. Eden may use mechanical police or mechanical soldiers to maintain order, which can effectively weaken Eden's detection ability. "
"If there are casualties in the process of disrupting the city order, or those in the hospital who are seriously ill and waiting for first aid, how are you going to deal with them?" Adam asked sharply.
"Collateral damage is unavoidable, but all hospitals have backup generators that can last more than two days, so they won't be affected. Any extended AI that is successfully implanted by the Bronze Man will be controlled by me, Phoenix and Morningstar. "While Phoenix and I were primarily responsible for attacking Eden, Morningstar would use those overpowered systems to monitor the situation in the city, and if anyone needed help, it would use the quickest way to get there."
Adam nodded slightly and did not continue to ask.
Pan looked at Zhang Xun, took out a gun from his pocket, and handed it to him.
Zhang Xun recognized at a glance that it was James' gun.
"Has Jamie received an improved nanorobot?" He turned out that the one-handed laser gun seemed to be able to feel James' body temperature on it.
"I received it. Now he is in the process of recovery, and it will take some time. He wanted to come out to help you, but I and Todd stopped him."
Hearing her brother's name, Anya was also relieved.
Zhang Xun suddenly felt much more relaxed. If in the end they fail and are wiped out by Eden, at least James among them will survive and have the opportunity to find a place not controlled by Eden, and spend the rest of his life with Todd in peace, no more Get involved in any game between AI and humans.
The time is getting closer and closer to three in the morning, and everyone is waiting nervously. No one spoke, everyone just silently prepared their weapons and packed their bags.
Zhang Xun, who had been looking at James' gun, suddenly whispered to Adam and Pan, "I've been thinking about it for the past two days. All uploaded consciousnesses begin to influence each other due to the lack of a clear boundary, but after all, most of them do not suffer from schizophrenia. The consciousness of humans with schizophrenia or multiple personality disorder has a strange unity that can accommodate contradictions, and if we can use this unity to create a protective film, perhaps the uploaded consciousness can be maintained in the collective consciousness for a period of time. Maybe even permanent independence."
Adam raised his head to look at him, his eyes unpredictable, "What does this unity mean?"
"I don't know yet... Maybe it's some kind of complex that runs through a person's life, or a memory that has great significance for one's character's journey, or maybe it's an unfulfilled long-cherished wish... Anyway, it's some kind of people who don't want to let go. things." Zhang Xun slowly described his idea, "If we can quantify this unity, we can create a coat to cover the uploaded consciousness, like a protective shell... In this way, even if it is uploaded, You can still maintain a certain self.”
"Why are you thinking about this?" Adam frowned and turned to face Zhang Xun, "Do you want to give up? Do you want to be uploaded?"
Zhang Xun looked at him in a daze, and shook his head gently, "I was just thinking, if I can't recover, if there is such a day in the end, we should be prepared."
At this moment, a green light flashed in Pan's eyes, and he said in a calm but solemn voice, "The attack has begun. We must leave immediately."
