The building of the mercenary guild is located next to a subway entrance, which is convenient for poor people like Shi Han.Mingzhu City is a city where the local government is rich in taxes, and the public transportation is fairly cheap. Of course, the environment is not very good.

Shi Han took a shortcut and walked all the way, the subway station was as dirty as a garbage dump, and he saw many homeless people curled up in a ball on the road.

What?We have all entered the interstellar era of abundant energy. Why is public transportation not free?Why are there still people who live and sleep in the open and go hungry?

The Galactic Empire is an empire, not a Galactic Socialist Republic.The name of an empire is not a domineering name, it is an empire that expands outward and oppresses inward.Now that outward expansion has stopped, there is only internal oppression.

Technology cannot save everything, and the existence of an empire itself is an injustice.

How about overthrowing the empire for fun?

Shi Han pulled his thoughts away from the revolution, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing in the guild hall.The front desk received a row of beautiful robots, both men and women. There were not many people coming to do business at this time, and there was no queue in front of the robots.

Shi Han walked towards the one closest to him, it was a female robot with black hair and black eyes, with a clean and gentle face, she tilted her head slightly, showing a breezy smile. "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"Membership application, strength test." Shi Han answered concisely.

The robot pursed its mouth, and its gentle eyes were slightly annoyed, as if it was blaming Shihan for his impolite words.But Shi Han knew that this was just an E-level AI, and it had no other learning and evolution functions except the pre-programmed scenes.

After getting the access code from the robot, Shi Han entered a room on the second floor. The wall opposite the door consisted of a display screen, which displayed some mental strength test rules.

Shi Han took out a pair of goggles from his pocket and put them on.This body from the factory in Gensokyo is close to human, but when he transfers a lot of data, his eyes will glow blue with data flow.The blue goggles effectively filter this light.Especially in this kind of room full of cameras and sensors, as an AI life, he should pay more attention.

Shi Han connected to the network interface of the evaluation system, and the system fed back his choices of different levels.

The grading of the strength of human spiritual power began in the Dark Forest Era. After the first battle in the Milky Way, the human beings who stood up from the corpses of their companions received their first gift—the knowledge of spiritual power development from civilizations before the Galactic War .After a long period of experimental research, Dr. Lin Yan, the leader of the spiritual power research team, proposed the strength system of human spiritual power, which has been used to this day.

The main fighting method of human beings is to manipulate machines through mental power.Ordinary people can only control a few small devices, use auxiliary devices to expand brain signals and connect them to the star network, calculate the complexity according to the level and quantity of the operating devices, and roughly divide the mental power into nine levels from A to F.

Each level has three sub-levels, the small level represents the fineness of the control, and the gap between the small levels is not too big.

D- is the minimum registration standard for mercenary guilds, just enough to be used as cannon fodder in interstellar wars. D+ is the big grade of C, the backbone of interstellar combat power, B grade is already a strong person with a certain reputation on a certain planet, and it is also the grade where the imperial school and lieutenant officers get together.

The strength of mental power is bounded by Lin Yan's limit. If Lin Yan's limit is crossed, the material world can be changed, that is, the mind can move things.This type of powerhouse is the high-end combat power above A-level, and a few (poor) people even abandoned intelligent mechanical warfare and developed the power of mind to the extreme. These people are also called minders.

It is not difficult to benchmark the strength of AI to humans. The level of AI is bounded by the Turing test. The Turing test here is not the test when the ancient computer was first born, but a new Turing test that was gradually improved and developed based on that set of tests.The purpose is not to test the difference between AI and human intelligence, but something deeper - self-awareness.

Only by having self-awareness can one become a real life.Only AIs that pass this threshold are eligible to participate in combat as independent individuals, while low-level AI can only be used as a tool for humans to assist in combat.

Therefore, as an individual, AI life does not have a grade below C. The division of grades above C is the same as that of human beings, all of which are divided by the complexity of information that can be processed by mental power. The average human being is much higher.

Shi Han didn't quite know what level he would be under the premise of having enough computing resources.But right now, he intends to keep his level at C level, that is, the level of being able to control ten standard machines at the same time.

Select to transfer back, and the interface of the system is disconnected."Start" was displayed on the screen, the floor in front of it split open, and a row of ten machines emerged from the ground.There are robots, charged particle cannons, computer terminals, communicators, etc., each of which has specific operational requirements, such as making the robot dance a jazz dance, aiming the charged particle cannon at the target, hacking into the enemy's computer, using the communicator Establishing encrypted information channels to pass on to peers... etc., and the difficulty lies in that all of these must be done at the same time.

One minute later, Shi Han looked at the obedient machines sitting in a row in front of him, and the bright red perfect score on the screen, and clicked his tongue.

"That's it?"

Immediately, a mercenary column appeared in the personal information column of his electronic ID card.Shi Han leaves the testing room.Sitting on a chair under a green plant in the lobby, browsing the latest employment tasks.

"Clean up star thieves? Too little money, don't go. Routine maintenance? Too boring, don't go. Hmm... this is interesting."

In the virtual space, a word box floated in front of Shi Han:

[C-level task] Investigate human trafficking

Task nature: investigative

Personnel requirements: a team of 3-5 people, with an average strength of C-level or above.

Remuneration: A deposit of 2 star coins/person for investigation, and an additional 10-30 star coins/person for successfully rescuing hostages.

Task content: A small interstellar underground human trafficking organization suspected of taking away Ikeda Aisa, the daughter of the deputy mayor of Venus Star Delta City.Please investigate the recent activities of this organization, locate the mothership of this organization and rescue Ms. Ikeda.

Organizational details are available at: [link]

Shi Han browsed through it.This human trafficking organization is called White House, and there is a live broadcast website with the same name on the dark web.

The dark web is a special part of the star network, which has a huge cluster of secret servers, operated by volunteers. Since each network request and response will randomly jump through a series of proxy servers, everything that happens on it is anonymous in principle. of.

Anonymity is used by good people to bring security, and by bad people to bring disaster.There are countless shady websites on the dark web, illegally selling weapons, money laundering, buying murder, and killing people. All transactions are completed in encrypted currency.

The most famous and most visited is undoubtedly the homepage of "Hidden Encyclopedia", which collects many links to dark net websites, and under the column of sex//color, the link of White House is impressively listed.

The White House is a team that makes huge profits by selling children offline and broadcasting all kinds of unsightly things online. The name of the website comes from the fact that every time they live broadcast they are in a white room, and the clothes for the children are also All white clothes.According to the site's founders, this underscores their purity.

It's just that the white house is often stained red with blood, so the white house becomes a red house, and the white clothes become red clothes.

Since they are only active in the dark net, it is very difficult to track them down, and they have not touched any upper-level interests. Anyway, in the eyes of the nobles, ass people are worthless, so they have not been arrested.

It wasn't until they kidnapped Ikeda Aisha, and her mother Ikeda Sophia became furious as the mayor, and learned through various channels that the criminal turned out to be the White House, that she had today's mission.

The author has something to say: White House Prototype: Red Room (RedRoom)

Hidden encyclopedia: HiddenWiki, it must be clarified that HiddenWiki is still normal in reality, even the Erotica column does not include such unconscionable things.And the above technical notes are quite interesting.
