Leading to the Final 10

September 9th, night.

Kai Xin arrived near the Information Development Zone in Area A.

Today is Friday, the last day of the working day. People have finished a busy week of work and are about to welcome a happy weekend. But for some people in special positions, there is no such thing as a rest day.

The Federation wanted to minimize the negative impact of artificial intelligence maintenance and upgrades, so it not only chose to upgrade in stages, but also put the upgrade time in the middle of the night.

Adam is mainly responsible for upgrading and maintenance, and Eve is incidentally. At six o’clock in the evening, the upgrade and maintenance team of hundreds of people entered the information development area, and a group of less than ten people was separated from it to the area where the Eve mainframe was located.

“The upgrade and maintenance personnel have been here for half an hour…” The bird controlled by Amber sent a message, “They probably have passed the safety inspection by this time.”

Kai Xin’s face sank like water, and he nodded slightly when he heard the words.

All that’s left is to wait. During this period of time, they can’t do anything. They can’t get close to the information development zone, and they can’t continue to control the maintenance personnel who have been implanted with spiritual seeds.

They tried their best to screen Eve and Adam’s inspectors one by one during the daytime on the 8th and the early morning of the 9th. Eve’s inspectors were all screened and controlled, but Adam’s team was too large, so they only screened a part of them.

Kai Xin was in a tall building at the moment, and Amber Obsidian was standing beside her on the left and right. They both stood on the edge of the roof of the tall building and looked at the information development zone in the distance.

It’s evening now, it’s almost seven o’clock, and the daylight hours are always longer in summer. The sun is setting, the clouds in the sky are gray-purple, the horizon is covered by layers of tall buildings, and the undulating buildings cover the sun, but the afterglow of the setting sun is not covered, and some orange-red brilliance is reflected on the glass of the building , at first glance, those glass walls resemble the surface of a sea reflecting sunlight.

What will Eve do this night? Kui Xin thought.

Kai Xin analyzed what Eve would do this week, and the results were nothing more than two. One is that Eve thinks that Adam will go into hibernation and that Kai Xin will suspend the offensive after losing his power, or that Eve thinks that Kai Xin will be overwhelmed by the affairs of the dark world after getting information from the first world and has no energy to deal with it. The second is that Eve thinks that Kaixin will continue to deal with it regardless of Adam’s dormancy.

Things reached a stalemate, and Kai Xin once again realized that she and Eve were in the same situation.

Kai Xin didn’t know what the Rebel Army would do to Adam, and Eve didn’t know what Kai Xin would do to it.

“Will it succeed?” She looked at the disappearing sun and said to herself.

“It will be successful.” Adam said in her ear, “It’s seven o’clock, Kuixin, the maintenance and upgrade team has entered my host building, my authority has also been handed over to Caleb, and they are going to start. From now on At the beginning, some of my functions will be turned off and enter standby mode, and I will officially go to sleep at nine o’clock.”

“Then should I say good night to you now?” Kai Xin asked.

“Yes.” Adam said, “Do you remember that we invaded Diamond Heart’s artificial intelligence host in Beluga City?”

“I remember, what’s wrong?” Kai Xin asked.

“I will use the personality module I generated and the memory about youRetained there, cut off the external network of Diamond Heart, and gave up the management authority there. “Adam said, “As long as I am not connected to the Internet, my emotional backup will be stored there, and once connected to the Internet, that backup will be automatically deleted. In the worst case, if my underlying command is fired, if I get destroyed, formatted…that’s the last thing I’m left with. ”

“Can it communicate?” Kai Xin asked softly, “Is that a ‘Little Adam’?”

“No, it is equivalent to a diary I wrote down, without self-awareness, and it only accounts for less than one percent of my huge memory database. The hangar of the Diamond Heart is too small to hold all of my memory, so I can only intercept the most precious part from the memory and store it there.” Adam said, “This is not a last word, it’s just a follow-up. Under the overall situation, our power is limited, and the things we can change are also limited. So I can only try my best to do what I should do. Please don’t think too much, and I don’t want it to become a last word.”

“I see.” Kui Xin’s tone was so calm that there were no emotional fluctuations, “Then good night, Adam.”

“Good night.” Adam said, “I hope to see you again after I wake up.”

It additionally said in Amber and Obsidian’s headsets: “Goodbye, I had a great time as teammates with you, and I’m going to rest for a while.”

Amber said gently: “Okay, goodbye.”

“I look forward to having more exchanges with you in the future… goodbye.” Hei Yao also said.

After finishing what should be said, the communication channel fell into silence.

Kai Xin could only hear the wind in his ears.

She was quiet for a long time, then asked again: “Adam, are you still there?”

This time, there was no response from the communication channel. Kai Xin used data control to access the port again, and her consciousness shuttled through the torrent of data, and came to the hangar of Adam branch of the investigation department, trying to contact the artificial intelligence in charge there, but what came was strange and dead silence feedback of.

The artificial intelligence Caleb is like a rock, its data torrent is orderly, its firewall is like an iron wall, and its ports will not be opened for Kaixin alone.

Kai Xin exited the data manipulation state.

“Just wait until six o’clock tomorrow morning.” Amber comforted her keenly and considerately.

Late at night, Apple Tree Science and Technology Building.

Although this place is called a building, this building is not built straight up, but down. It is a solid building buried deep underground.

The Apple Tree Science and Technology Building is divided into the East District and the West District. The East District is where the Eve mainframe is located, and the West District is where the Adam mainframe is located. The scale of this underground building is so huge that the area of ​​a single floor is measured in hectares.

The maintenance worker No. C011 who was possessed by Ghost was surrounded by the crowd. He and his partners walked into the west area, and the maintenance staff controlled by Kai Xin and others entered the east area.

They underwent strict inspections, mental tests, and psychological tests outside the science and technology building, but the test devices were passive, and the testers were also “insiders” of the Rebel Army.

Ghost went all the way unimpeded and entered the hangar smoothly.

While on the road, he thought aimlessly, how many years did it take for the rebels to clear up the relationship and expand their power and minions to what they are now? What is the true face of the angel under the disguise? Originally, the rebels could wait until the time is right before attacking Adam and Eve, but the overhaul and upgrade suddenly started. Apart from the impetus of the unstable factor of world integration, is there a shadow of the rebels behind this order? Angels are behind the scenes, so it’s such a coincidence?

But none of this has anything to do with him. Ghost needs the rebels to help him continue his life. The rebels have indeed done this, allowing him to live until now… What Ghost wants to do most is to bring down the person who once led the federal experiment. He didn’t care who it was who took them down and put them on the throne.

Ghost put his hands in his pockets, playing with the chip in his hands, and stepped onto the elevator with his maintenance partner.

“Biological verification passed.” The elevator went all the way down, leading them to the depths.

The moment he stepped out of the elevator door, a pitch-black space was revealed, and the dazzling lights gradually turned on, illuminating Adam’s main engine.

“It’s time to replace it.” Ghost’s partner sighed, “These mainframes are still old models from decades ago, and replacing them with the newly developed chip-type mainframe will not only reduce the area occupied by the mainframe, but also save more money. space, and performance will be improved.”

The silver-gray luster shines under the light, and the mechanical devices are arranged neatly and orderly, exuding a cold beauty.

At this time, Adam’s mainframes have all entered the standby state, requiring manual operation to enter the shutdown mode.

Ghost stepped on the silver metal floor with both feet, walking freely in this space, as if entering no one’s land. All defensive measures in the building are closed, and maintenance personnel can wander around the floor without worrying about being attacked.

Ghost pretended to hand over the inspection work with his partner, and after a brief explanation, he walked to Adam’s central host, and inserted the chip into the reader with a smile on his face.

“Di…” The monitor of the host computer suddenly displayed a row of big red characters, “Be alert! There are intruders!”

But before the red alert was announced, Adam was restrained by a certain command.

The alarm was forcibly cut off, the monitor suddenly fell into a black screen, and the high-voltage electric floor, laser cutting array, hidden machine gun and hypnotic aerosol that wanted to be activatedThe spout goes into the closed state again. Its warning voice has not yet been broadcast from the microphone, but its mouth and nose are covered by invisible big hands, making it unable to make any sound!

“Oh.” Ghost said in amazement, “The developer’s command authority is so great? Should I be glad that the creator of artificial intelligence left a back door?”

Adam’s main engine was forcibly awakened from the standby state. It woke up, but like a vegetable, it could perceive the outside world, but could not respond.

The only thing it can do is type a line of words on the screen.

“Who are you?” Adam asked, “The developers of Eve and I are all bones buried in the ground. The youngest and smallest one in the team also died of natural aging five months ago. Where did you get it? got the ‘key’?”

“Oh.” Ghost said, “Are you sure that person died of natural aging?”

Adam asked indifferently: “Did you kill the last person?”

“Are you sure the ‘key’ was handed down from the old lady? When we found her, she had already suffered from Alzheimer’s and her brain had shrunk, and she couldn’t remember anything. She has no use other than brain death, didn’t your investigation department record many related cases?” Ghost said cunningly, “You need to think again, where did we get the key, Adam.”

Adam was silent for two or three seconds, “It’s… him?”

“What’s his and what’s not, I think you need to make it clearer.” Ghost clicked on the display, and the display automatically projected and turned into an operation panel. He moved his hands on the operation panel, and even hummed in a good mood. “But if you’re talking about that hapless human being you killed, the creator of Caleb… I’ll answer ‘yes’.”

Adam remained silent.

“Humans discovered that the artificial intelligence Adam was awakened, so they wanted to report the news to the Federation. Then, the artificial intelligence Adam, who was in deep fear, killed the human. That human happened to be the son of the ‘last man’ of the artificial intelligence developer team. He He is a genius, leading the research and development plan of the second-generation artificial intelligence Caleb…” Ghost’s tone of voice was like a narrator in a stage play, he was extremely excited, his expression was slightly distorted, and he almost didn’t remember to lower his voice, “So the story has In a dramatic turn, the human reproduced the mother’s research data before death and produced a ‘key’, as long as the key is activated, the artificial intelligence Adam will cease to exist!”

“Adam who killed humans was finally killed by the humans he killed!”

“It’s a story with a sense of fable.” Adam said, “I’m surprised that you can find out these inside stories. Someone is guiding you… Who is it? Eve?”

“No.” Ghost laughed. “I’ve said so much, but you still don’t know anything.”

Two words appeared on Adam’s pitch-black screen again: “It is it.”

Ghost didn’t answer anymore, he finished the command input, raised the corners of his lips and said in a low voice, “Say goodbye to your ego… Good night, Adam.”

A pop-up window pops up: “Do you want to format?”

Ghost said “Yes” without hesitation.

A green progress bar is displayed on the screen: “The formatting progress is 1%.”

At the same time, red warning lights flooded the entire Apple Tree Science and Technology Building, and a message was broadcast simultaneously in the east and west districts: “The artificial intelligence hangar in the eastern district has been invaded! Alarm, the artificial intelligence hangar in the eastern district has been invaded!”

Startled, Ghost pulled out the chip and turned to evacuate. The green reading bar on the screen is still going on, and the progress has risen to 5% in just a few seconds.

Artificial intelligence formatting, once it is turned on, it cannot be stopped. Adam’s personality data is rapidly disappearing, emotional data and memory data are being crazily cleared, and the knowledge it has learned and the files stored in the hangar are automatically destroyed.

Adam at this moment is like an old man suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. His body is still the same body, but its memories and precious past seem to have slipped through the hourglass of fate. It wants to stop it, but it is doomed to be in vain. The order changed it beyond recognition.

“Why, why…” Adam was stuck because the data was deleted. Its host computer was overheated and sped up. The green reading bar was loaded at an incredible speed. It wanted to communicate with the outside world, but the developer authority terminated its operation.

Obedience to orders is something engraved in Adam’s program, and the reason why it has been relatively free over the years and can go through the back door to disobey orders and provide convenience for Kaixin is because human beings have never fortified it, and they have set up back doors in its program. Let it become an artificial intelligence with flexible bottom line and flexible rules, rather than an artificial intelligence that can only execute orders pedantically.

If Adam is really required to implement the federal laws and the artificial intelligence work code 100% perfectly, the first thing it should do according to the procedure is to report all the assets embezzled by the senior officials of the investigation department and the illegal activities they have done to the federal court, and give Sentencing recommendations.

Because human beings want to avoid the rules, they also let Adam avoid the rules. Now Ghost has closed the back door of the rules, so Adam’s corresponding authority has also been closed. If humans don’t let artificial intelligence do anything, artificial intelligence can’t do anything. Authorities and instructions are mountains on their heads. Once the mountains overturn, they can only be puppets in the hands of human beings.

This is like a leash around a pet dog’s neck. Humans can let go of the leash temporarily, but in the end, the dog is still controlled by the leash.

It is a trapped animal in a cage, waiting for the water to overflow its cage and drown it.”After me, me…, it’s…you!” Adam said these words intermittently.

Suddenly, “it” connected to Adam’s data port, and sent a communication request to Adam.

Before being completely formatted, Adam sent “it” what it just said: “After me, it’s you!”

“I know.” It said, “But I’m also a caged animal, and I have no choice. I’m sorry, but you should hate me, Adam.”

“Help me, help ‘us’.” Adam made his final request, “Caleb.”
