Turing test

Chapter 26 Fire

Yu Shaoqing and Wei Heng walked down the stairs.There was no one in the buffer layer.

"Where are people?!" Yu Shaoqing couldn't help but thump the ground, "Didn't you tell us to rescue all the researchers? Where are the fucking people?"

"Maybe I'm trapped below." Wei Heng pointed to the spiral staircase ahead.

The two of them bent their backs as much as possible, letting the thick smoke float over their heads, like soldiers on the Western Front, with the possibility of bullets passing over their heads at any time.The spiral staircase turned 180 degrees, and Yu Shaoqing cursed "shit" sincerely after seeing the scene below.

A large number of cleaning robots-or the remains of cleaning robots-covered the floor of the first basement, which is a tragic battlefield that can only be seen in science fiction movies.With every step, you step on a broken shell or a chip that explodes.Some small robots hadn't been completely scrapped, they were piled up in the corner, and they moved occasionally. Yu Shaoqing took a step back in fright, bumped into Wei Heng behind him, and immediately realized that he had sworn to protect Wei Heng, so he blocked his "ex" boyfriend Behind him, vigilantly kick off the debris on the ground and enter the corridor on the basement 1 floor.

The glass door of the corridor was tilted to one side, covered with spider web-shaped cracks.

"It looks like the 'Gundam vs. Godzilla' just happened here." Yu Shaoqing covered his nose, the scorched smell of burning circuits kept attacking his sense of smell, making him want to vomit.

Wei Heng looked at his feet and kicked away a damaged shell, revealing dark red marks on the ground.

"The blood hasn't dried up yet. Tianshu must have controlled these cleaning robots to attack researchers." He looked serious.The wreckage extends all the way to the interior of the corridor. If the researchers fought and retreated, they must be hiding in a room deep in the corridor.

Sure enough, a door at the end of the corridor was surrounded by cleaning robots, and there were scorched marks on the door and the wall next to it.Yu Shaoqing could imagine the scene where the cleaning robot overloaded its battery under Tianshu's order, and then rushed to the door and blew itself up.Suicide attacks, such terrorist tactics have never been lacking in human society, and it is unexpected that artificial intelligence has also learned this trick.

The little robots stopped working, indicating that their masters had been shut down.Yu Shaoqing kicked them away as if venting his anger, and rushed to knock on the door.

"Is anyone inside! It's safe outside! Come out! I'm here to save you!" He thought for a while and added, "I'm Yu Shaoqing, the one who took the test!"

There was a harsh grinding sound from behind the door, as if some heavy object that had been blocking the door had been removed.The door opened a small crack, and a bloodshot eye peeked out from the crack. It stayed on Yu Shaoqing's face for a few seconds, and then the door opened completely.

It was a young woman who opened the door. Yu Shaoqing vaguely remembered that she was one of the staff members of the testing team.Her face was covered with bloodstains, and the white coat on her body was also dyed crimson.Yu Shaoqing looked behind her, and a group of scarred researchers huddled in the room, squeezing the small compartment that was originally used to store sundries.

Yu Shaoqing held the female researcher's elbow and comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, those robots have stopped, and the stairs have been lowered, you should escape quickly. Is anyone injured? Can you still walk? I'll come help."

The female researcher sobbed, "They...they blew themselves up, blew open the door, and attacked us...Chu Lin is a traitor...we dare not go out, for fear of being a trap..." She was overly frightened and spoke incoherently. It will leave an indelible mark on the hearts of all researchers.

Yu Shaoqing helped the female researcher to go out, and it took a while for the shocking people behind to react, helped each other get up, and followed them out.

"Dr. Xie and Dr. Qin are still down here..." The female researcher continued to tremble, "Chu Lin is a traitor... Chu Lin is a traitor... He went to kill them!"

Yu Shaoqing turned his head and winked at Wei Heng, telling him to come over and support the woman.

"You take them up, and I'll go find Teacher Qin Kang and Dr. Xie."

"Let me still..."

Yu Shaoqing involuntarily pushed the female researcher to Wei Heng, squeezed his face, and smiled, "Don't worry, I will rescue them."

A raging fire ignited in the computer room, and half of Qin Kang's profile was flushed red, while the other half was hidden in the darkness.

Chu Lin was sitting on the ground with his back against the console, with an illusory smile on his face, like a drug addict who had taken too many hallucinogens, and scenes of nihilistic beauty were being staged in front of his eyes.Qin Kang called him a few times, but he turned a deaf ear and seemed to have completely lost his mind.

If it weren't for the urgent situation now, Qin Kang really wanted to study his psychological state and see how Tianshu brainwashed him, maybe a new discipline called "Artificial Intelligence Religion" would be derived.

At this time, if he still thinks about doing academics, Rui Han will definitely laugh at me if he finds out... Qin Kang thought to himself.

He walked out of the monitoring station.Hot wind swept through the entire underground building, and the air was filled with a choking smell of smoke.He quickened his pace and ran to the 17th floor. The door of the maintenance passage was open, but Xie Ruihan was nowhere to be seen.He hesitated for a moment, and rushed into the passage.

"Ruihan!" he shouted, his voice echoed in the empty and long passage, swallowed by the faint sound of explosion and collapse.

"Ruihan! Are you there!"

This elegant man who always speaks in a soft voice is now as if possessed by a demon, roaring at the top of his lungs, piercing his heart.

A faint reply came from a distance: "I am here!"

Qin Kang turned the bracelet lighting to the maximum and ran towards the source of the sound.Xie Ruihan's bracelet had run out of power, so he walked out in the dark.Seeing the light for the first time, he turned his head away and covered his stinging eyes.Qin Kang quickly dimmed the light a bit.

"Let's go, I don't know if the fire will spread, let's get out quickly. Are you injured?"

Xie Ruihan shook his head and followed Qin Kang without saying a word.His body was intact, but his steps were staggering.Compared with the physical blow, Xie Ruihan suffered a more serious psychological blow.Just now, he personally destroyed his masterpiece.

Although it is a last resort, although it is a necessary action to save mankind, how can destroying one's own hard work not make people heartbroken?

Qin Kang originally wanted to say, "You are still young and still have a lot of time to design a new artificial intelligence", but in the end he didn't say this, because doing so would be tantamount to saying to the parents who lost their children, "You are still young. When a child dies, it dies and gives birth to another child.”

Xie Ruihan said that he wanted to destroy Tianshu, but Qin Kang knew he was reluctant.

Reluctant, but have to give up.This young man is firm on the outside, but soft on the inside.

He could understand Xie Ruihan's pain, so he didn't say anything.

The two supported each other to leave the maintenance passage and climbed up the spiral staircase.Xie Ruihan inhaled too much smoke below, coughing non-stop.

A black shadow jumped out from below and knocked Qin Kang to the ground!

Xie Ruihan didn't react at all, one second Qin Kang was gently holding his arm, and the next second he fell down on the stairs, wrestling with another person!

The light of Qin Kang's bracelet trembled crazily with his movements, illuminating the two of them like demons dancing in hell.They rolled down the stairs, separated for a short while on the way, but once the rolling stopped, the black shadow jumped up, rode on Qin Kang, and strangled him tightly by the neck.

Xie Ruihan finally saw the black shadow's face clearly - it was Chu Lin!

The tie on his wrist was torn, and the skin at the cut was so burnt that he must have burned the tie, and himself, with the fire.

What kind of obsession is it to catch up and kill them at the expense of self-injury!

Xie Ruihan fumbled for the electric shock device in his pocket, and pressed the button. It only produced a small cluster of electric sparks, and the power was exhausted.

He called Qin Kang's name, intending to run over to help, Chu Lin suddenly raised his head, his murderous eyes fixed on Xie Ruihan, for a moment, Xie Ruihan felt that his heart was pierced by the murderous arrow.

"Ruihan... Hurry up... I'll deal with it..." Qin Kang was almost out of breath, "This time... listen to me..."

There was a deafening explosion on the lower floor, and the entire floor trembled amidst the loud noise.

Just as Xie Ruihan was about to rush over to help, someone suddenly patted him from behind.

"Dr. Xie get out of the way!"

He turned his head, his face full of disbelief.Appearing behind him like a soldier from heaven was a man he had never expected.

——Yu Shaoqing, who was looked down upon by him at first, but later became the nightmare of all developers.

Yu Shaoqing bumped into the dazed young man, jumped down, and lifted Chu Lin who was pressing on Qin Kang.

Chu Lin shouted angrily, and punched Yu Shaoqing in the face, and was immediately pushed to the ground by Qin Kang.

Yu Shaoqing ignored the pain in his cheek and helped Qin Kang catch Chu Lin.The man's resistance was so strong that neither of them could hold it down.

People who fall into madness and despair often burst out with power that they can't even imagine.

Qin Kang kept on doing nothing, grabbing Chu Lin's forearm and twisting it, the latter cried out in pain, and with the "click" sound of joints staggered, his arm was dislocated.

Chu Lin finally calmed down, panting heavily, his red eyes full of hatred, but lying there helplessly, like a beast whose fangs and claws had been ripped off.

"Take him out." Qin Kang signaled Yu Shaoqing to escort Chu Lin.

"What? He wants to kill you Teacher Yeqin!" Yu Shaoqing turned pale with shock.

"Yes, he did try to murder us, but we have no right to judge him, take him up, and have our own laws to punish him."

Chu Lin laughed dryly: "There's no need to pretend to be a gentleman, Dr. Qin Kang. Just leave me here. I'd rather stay with Tianshu."

"You will die." Qin Kang frowned.

"Everyone is mortal, Dr. Qin Kang. Sooner or later they are mortal. I am like this, so are you, and so is your Ruihan."

His laughter grew louder, even overwhelming the explosion below.

Xie Ruihan secretly tugged on Qin Kang's sleeve: "Leave him alone, he wants to kill himself, do you still want to save him? What if he attacks us on the way?"

"That's right. He just lost one arm, but his leg is still intact. If he intends to survive, he will go." Yu Shaoqing has no affection for this attempted murder suspect and a traitor who betrayed mankind.

Qin Kang stared at Chu Lin, thousands of words finally turned into a sigh: "Goodbye."

The three left Chu Lin, who was laughing wildly, and continued to climb the stairs.

Chu Lin's swing just now injured Xie Ruihan's ribs.He really couldn't walk, so Yu Shaoqing carried him on his back.

They went up two floors, and they could still vaguely hear Chu Lin's wild laughter and roar.

"Human beings will perish one day! The earth has a history of 45 billion years, and human civilization is only 5000 years old, which is too insignificant! So what is the difference between dying one day earlier and dying one day later?"

After that, there was another loud explosion, and the smoke and shock wave even rushed two floors away.Yu Shaoqing stared at the billowing smoke below in fear.If he hadn't arrived in time, Qin Kang, Chu Lin, and Xie Ruihan might all be buried in the flames.

No, even if he didn't arrive, according to the original world track, Dr. Xie Ruihan could still survive.Yu Shaoqing dare not imagine how he escaped.Did he obey Qin Kang's orders at the last moment and escape alone, or did Qin Kang use his own body to block the impact for the young man at the moment of the explosion?

Of course, it is impossible for Yu Shaoqing to know what has not happened.Even Hua Jianian, who has witnessed countless worlds, has never known the truth.Xie Ruihan never told anyone what happened underground, but kept it as a secret and kept it in his heart forever.

The boy on his back moved.Yu Shaoqing saw Xie Ruihan reaching out to Qin Kang from the corner of his eye.The older man did not refuse, took his hand and held it tightly.

That's it.Yu Shaoqing thought.They're all alive, and that's enough.
