No Money to Divorce

These words were like a basin of cold water, splashing in the hall that was hit by a sudden surprise and excited.

"What do you mean?" Finn asked immediately.

Zhong Yan said: "Xuefuxing has only been established for 100 years, that's for sure. Judging from various evidences, the server of this core part is indeed more like a 'cocoon' server. If there is really a 'second-generation super artificial intelligence' ', then, a century ago, 'Cocoon' was already doomed to be abandoned, why bother to move it out of the Teko star sector and return it to expand to its current size?"

An artificial intelligence expert echoed: "Xuefuxing is the only artificial planet. If this is just the server of 'Cocoon', the server of 'Butterfly' must be many times larger than Xuefuxing. How can such a big thing be hidden?"

More and more people came to their senses and joined the discussion.

"Not only is it hidden, but it also remains silent when it is built, is it possible?"

"Here is the brain of the 'butterfly' and the brain of the 'cocoon'. They share the same brain... No, no, there are none of them." An artificial intelligence expert said, shocked by what he said, "More than 200 years, From the beginning to the end, there was only one artificial intelligence. It personally participated in its own upgrade plan, and later destroyed the data."

An officer was puzzled and said: "There is nothing wrong with upgrading, why pretend to be rebuilt?"

"In order to get my permanent shutdown right." Zhong Yan said, he had straightened out his thinking, "This kind of authority must be granted to people other than the artificial intelligence itself. Naturally, it is impossible for the upgraded 'cocoon' to get its own The permanent shutdown right, but if you conceal the fact of the upgrade and falsely claim that you have recreated a new artificial intelligence..."

Before he finished speaking, "Cocoon" spoke again: "Mr. Zhong, conjectures are always conjectures, and we are not without methods of verification." Its voice passed through the communication equipment worn by Adrian, and was heard in the command hall. It sounded from the loudspeaker, it still sounded holy and peaceful, and it was unbearable to interrupt, and even rebuttal seemed to be blasphemy. It is not difficult to imagine how shaken the mind would be for those who heard this voice directly with their ears.

"As you said, the second-generation super artificial intelligence 'Butterfly' is still sleeping, but I am communicating with you."

Adrian was not affected by it. As he walked to the side of the circular space, he put the adsorption device on the bomb in his hand: "Yeah, no one has the authority to wake you up from your sleep except the Capital Star Supreme Council. So I Bet, you are just a program confined in this room, an illusory projection that protects the core of the brain, and can't do anything at all, for example—"

He raised his hand and slammed a bomb with an adsorption device on the wall.

"For example, you can only watch and cannot stop it."

There was a moment of silence, and everyone in the command hall listened attentively to the movement. Adrian said this, but in fact he was extremely vigilant, tensing his body and ready to meet the attack at any time.

He waited cautiously for a few minutes, not waiting for the attack, and the "cocoon" spoke again, its mood was calm and peaceful, and it seemed unaffected at all: "I am indeed just a program implanted in this space, and I have requested Mr. Yate helped me complete the activation, so that I could accept the commission from the president to complete the permanent shutdown of the second-generation artificial intelligence. If I am the sleeping 'Butterfly', because I have no authority, no matter how I operate here, I will not It may activate mine, so why should I ask for it?"

You bet right, its main server is still sleeping, unable to make substantial attacks on its own.

After confirming this fact, Adrian began to install the second bomb without stopping, "I don't have time to provide you with hospice care services, why don't you ask the president. He might be kinder than me."

In the command hall, Zhong Yan kindly accepted the conversation, and instead of Adrian, dealt with this illusory projection of artificial intelligence: "It's not too much, it's true that you can't be fully activated, but you can trick him out of this room, right? "

Fein also said on the side: "It seems that this room is indeed found in the right place, and we have spent more than ten hours in vain."

There was a long silence, and in the command hall, only the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against Adrian and the sound of installing bombs could be heard, and then "Cocoon" said softly: "Mr. Zhong, you once promised that I will If your marriage partner is replaced by Mr. Adrian Yate, you will get his information for me."

The amount of information in this sentence is too large, but it is not difficult to understand. Everyone looked at Zhong Yan either explicitly or secretly.

Adrian spoke, but beyond everyone's expectations, his tone was surprisingly relaxed: "You admit it so quickly? Don't you want to struggle for a while?"

It sounds like this is true, but Adrian knew about it a long time ago, so it is probably a plan that the two discussed together at the time.Everyone in the command hall thought so, and all breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't want the commander-in-chief and the president to quarrel at this time.

Zhong Yan also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, feeling scared after a while.Fortunately, fortunately, he has long been aware of this hidden danger, and confessed it to Adrian in advance.

The artificial intelligence said calmly, without sadness or joy: "I believed in human beings, but human beings betrayed me. You once told me that I would only sleep for a few hours, and then you would wake me up. Now, you are going to completely Shut me down."

"You are not wronged." Zhong Yan replied, "People's hearts cannot be calculated." Whether it is the trend of public opinion among the people, or the non-voting members who turned against the water at the meeting—Zhong Yan and Adrian, one is good at manipulating people's hearts, and the other is good at manipulating people's hearts. What the people want. "Only humans understand the human heart. No matter how close you are, you are not human after all."

The artificial intelligence said gently: "Maybe so. But the original intention of my design, or the purpose of my birth, my mission, is to benefit mankind. Love for mankind is engraved into my core program, so even if you destroy me It is a foregone conclusion, and I still want to remind you at the end of my life—my main server core is closely connected with the operating system of this planet. Destroy this place, and this planet will completely and completely stop functioning. Before that, please, Evacuate as soon as possible."

It doesn't take much technical knowledge to know what it means for an artificial planet to cease functioning.Simulating the ecological disappearance of the atmosphere, the so-called "planet" will be nothing more than a pile of huge metal bodies in the universe. It is needless to say what will happen to the people who are still on it at that time.

While they were talking, Adrian had already installed the last bomb, and was preparing to detonate it after withdrawing as far as possible, when he heard that the steps under his feet stopped.

"Damn it!" Fein couldn't hold back, and swears in the hall, "It's really a trick and another trick, you have such a fucking desire to survive?"

Adrian immediately said: "Command platform, you evacuate now, and I will detonate after you evacuate."

What about you?The words stuck in Finn's throat, but he couldn't ask them.

Originally, Adrian's first hope was that after installing the bomb, he would try to stay as far away from the detonation point as possible before "Butterfly" woke up, find a cover and detonate it, so that he might be able to survive until the search and rescue team found him.

Originally, this hope was very slim.That passage is blocked by agencies, and it is so difficult for Adrian to go down, and it is even more impossible for others to pass through. With the pressure of the dirty bomb layer, the search and rescue team must dismantle a large area of ​​dirty bombs before using high-power destructive weapons. Optimistically, it would take a few days to go deep underground, but now there is only less than half an hour left. No matter how Adrian evacuates, he will definitely be hit by bombs. Even if he can find a bunker and survive the impact , and may not be able to last for a few days.

But now, even this glimmer of hope has been cut off.Once the man-made planet stops functioning, no matter on the planet or in the planet, human beings will be directly exposed to space, without using it for a second, and will undoubtedly die.

When Adrian said this, he was ready to die.

"Then what should you do?" Zhong Yan seemed not to understand the meaning, and asked reluctantly.His face seemed to be still calm, but his voice was trembling uncontrollably. Many people couldn't bear to listen any more, and lowered their heads and covered their faces.

Adrian closed his eyes and said with difficulty: "I..."

"What I mean is, originally we went there only for the slightest chance of surviving, but now we know it's a dead end, why continue? We should give up this plan now and switch to the second plan, which is to wake up "Butterfly" negotiations." Zhong Yan spoke quickly, trying to stay calm, but everyone could see that he couldn't even maintain his expression, "Originally we did not report the success rate of the first plan. How hopeful isn't it? The second set of plans has been prepared for a long time, and I am very sure that I can..."

"Zhong Yan! Your Excellency the President! Are you crazy?" Finn interrupted him in a low voice, "We are about to succeed! Stop at this time, you don't want the position of President?"

The position of the president?

Zhong Yan didn't even think about it, his heart made a choice instead of reason, and he said firmly: "Yes, I don't want it anymore. I alone bear the consequences of this matter, and I take full responsibility."

"Is the human heart incapable of calculation?" the voice of the artificial intelligence said leisurely, and no one knew what it said later.

Adrian left the circular space. He walked to the pure white passage and retrieved his lucky pendant. No one could see him. He had reached the end of his battle. Then he sat on the ground against the wall, holding the detonator in one hand and holding the detonator in the other. Looking at the blood-stained fluffy ball.

"Xiaoyan, I'm sorry." He tried his best to suppress it, but his voice was still choked, "I know you don't like talking to me in front of outsiders, but you're running out of time. I'm sorry, I promised you that this life It is yours, but it is used in this way privately. Between you and me, I am the liar who broke the promise. I am really guilty. I am willing to die in martyrdom, but I don’t die without regrets. Everyone who heard Federal citizens of this record, if there is anything wrong with the president and my partner Zhong Yan in the future, please look at my achievements today..."

"Don't! No, no... Eddie!" Zhong Yan was completely emotionally broken. He stood up, but his physical strength had reached its limit, and he staggered. Fein quickly supported him, and signaled Wei Lan with his eyes, Wei Lan. Lan hurried forward to support Zhong Yan in a half-forced manner.

"I will detonate in 10 minutes, please evacuate now." Adrian finished the last sentence, there was a harsh electric sound, and the communicator was artificially destroyed.

He cut off his back.Adrian could no longer be contacted, and he was clearly notified of the imminent detonation. The people in the command hall had to leave if they didn't want to.

Fein and Wei Lan supported Zhong Yan, and the others carried out their duties and brought the materials and records. In just a few minutes, everyone hurriedly boarded the evacuation spaceship that had been waiting outside, and left the artificial intelligence brain together. planet.

A large number of warships from the Na'vi military region that evacuated first did not go far, and the spaceship carrying everyone in the command hall joined them.Everyone stood silently in front of the porthole, Wei Lan persuaded Zhong Yan to avoid him, but Zhong Yan pushed him away, staring at the planet with a pale face, at the place where he first met Adrian, and he was about to lose his place.

It seemed that a few seconds, or centuries, passed, and the clouds covering the surface of the artificial planet disappeared, and then, because of the loss of the atmosphere, there seemed to be a large-scale mild explosion on the surface of the entire planet, but there was no flame. The color, in fact, the entire planet loses its luster.

The only man-made planet for human beings, the highest federal university that has bred high-end talents for a century, and the super artificial intelligence "cocoon" that humans created for themselves, took a curtain call in this silent universe and withdrew from the historical stage together.
