The dim sky suppressed the entire Tsukishima continent, and among the streets, buildings, and transportation equipment, as long as there were people, there was a solemn sense of oppression.

All the people who watched Hugo's live broadcast had different looks, some were heavy, some were angry, some were sad, some were disdainful... The heavy expressions converge into a unique group portrait of floating beings.

Every word Hugo said hit people's brains, and although he did not give any real evidence now, many people had begun to believe what the boy said in their hearts.

The discussion in reality and on the Internet has long been one after another, and the analysis and discussion of these various information are even more varied. The explosion of information began to enter a state of frantic explosion, which made people overwhelmed.

In just a few dozen minutes, the entire Tsukishima and even the entire world have entered a state of chaos under the influence of Hugo.

However, there is not only the glue of people's emotions in the air, but also another invisible force surging.

"Hey, what's wrong with my PMT's network signal? No, I should have a lot of traffic in my network plan!"

"I'm too! I can't receive the live feed at all now. ”

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

...

The people on the street turned their eyes away from the PMT in their hands, looking around with questions, and the eyes of others were aware of the change.

"I understood that it must have been the operator who interrupted our network signal. ”

"That's right, and it's not an operator. ”

"I can't make calls to the outside world!

"Damn, I've got an appointment in a while? ”

"It must have been the government that opened the Skynet barrier that caused all of our equipment to fail. ”

"What the hell, if you block it, you just need to interrupt that person's signal source, why interrupt all of our equipment!"

"Damn it!"

...

In the middle of the East Island, Xia Ran sat in the dimly lit living room, in front of which were tightly spliced equipment clusters, each machine emitting the sound of nervous operation.

And Xia Ran's ten fingers also hovered rapidly on the two halves of the keyboard in front of him, and the ten fingers of the bullets struck a continuous crashing sound, and a large number of command characters appeared on the screen, and they rushed out of the room where they were through the launcher.

Even so, sweat continued to flow down Xia Ran's forehead and down the wing of his nose.

"How's it going?"

Thangka slowly walked over to Xia Ran and asked him.

Xia Ran exhaled heavily, and then said, "The situation is not optimistic. ”

After a pause, Xia Ran said: "Although this time I have already made up my mind to 'die', Skynet is indeed difficult to deal with. ”

Thangka said: "I don't know much about the Internet, how bad is the situation?"

Xia Ran said: "Skynet is the most comprehensive network barrier in the entire Moon Island, I once described the entire Moon Island network as a huge spider web, and the Skynet system is a huge magic spider sitting in the web. ”

"Phew, as long as we make the slightest move, this demon spider will find something and devour it. And this time, I have no worries about forcibly breaking through, and I don't care about exposing the target to make a forced breakthrough, hoping to tear a hole in this net, but it is difficult to do this alone. ”

After that, Xia Ran quickly typed down two lines of characters, but after the command was sent, a red failure water warning appeared on the screen quickly, and Xia Ran quickly typed a few different running instructions, but it was still invalid in reality.

Thangka noticed that Xia Ran's palms had begun to tremble due to overwork and nervousness, and his whole person had entered a state of tension, but no matter how hard he tried, all he got in exchange was a hint of failure.

"Damn!" Natsuran slammed his fist into the keyboard, his breathing becoming more and more rapid.

"Skynet has entered a state of full shielding, which is not only the operation of countermeasures, but also the reality of many hardware, and I can't break through these limitations. ”

Thangka said, "What will happen next?"

Xia Ran said: "Several metropolitan areas have begun to fail to receive our signal, and in less than ten minutes, the entire Moon Island will be interrupted from us, and the international network channel I have invaded has also been interrupted. ”

Looking at Xia Ran, who was extremely depressed, Thangka clapped his hand on his shoulder and whispered, "It's okay, these times are enough, you have done your best." ”

Thangka's comfort gave Xia Ran a lot of comfort, and he grinned: "It seems that this is the only way, now all I can do is buy a little more time for Hugo." With that, he turned to Thangka and said, "Thank you." ”

Thangka withdrew his palm and said, "It's nothing. ”

Natsu Ran, who breathed in again, gently closed his eyes, and after resting for a few seconds, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp light like a predator immediately shot out.

"Skynet, let's have a good fight. ”

...

"Is there something wrong with the signal?" asked Simon Wilson as he looked at the interface filled with signal interruptions.

Seeing this, Tanaka frowned slightly and said, "Skynet has made a move." ”

Simon Wilson smiled faintly and said, "I've spent decades in the scientific community and have a real understanding of the Skynet system. I've always heard that you have quite a unique insight into Skynet. Can you tell us about that?"

Tanaka pondered for a moment and then said, "I was once found and warned by the network department of the Metropolitan Police Department of Public Security because of this incident, and I almost entered a state of criminal proceedings, but now I think about it, it has been several years since I thought about it. ”

"At that time, I had just left my teacher's research group for a short time, and in my spare time, I began to try to explore the deep core of the Skynet system. As the world knows, Skynet has been built since the establishment of Tsukishima, and its life is as long as Tsukishima. After so many years of continuous construction and improvement, Skynet has become one of the most complete network barriers. Many people describe it as a magic spider sitting in a web cobweb. ”

"Spiders? Simon Wilson said with a light smile.

Tanaka shook his head and said, "At first, I thought so, and my idea was more direct, I thought that Skynet was a monitoring system with an extremely dense logical matrix. It is used to control the individuals in the entire network, and more specific control and management is carried out through the MEID of each person. ”

"At that time, I longed for 'absolute freedom,' so I wanted to break through this bondage, and the way to be free was to break free from its control and see it as it is. ”

Simon Wilson said, "It sounds a bit like a Castle Dragon Quest story. ”

Tanaka said, "Maybe I really had that kind of mentality at the beginning. Then he continued: "Then I embarked on the so-called journey of searching for the truth. ”

"It is not difficult to break away from the control of Skynet, because Skynet does not have strict network restrictions, and the so-called 'free network' is easy to obtain. But it's really hard to get to the bottom of it. ”

"There are few people in this world who know the true face of Skynet, its host equipment, code protocols are not possible, and countless hackers have explored it, but in the end they have all failed. ”

Looking at the solemn expression on Tanaka's face, Simon Wilson suddenly asked, "So did you succeed?"

Tanaka shook his head rather confused and said, "I... I don't know..."

Simon Wilson tilted his head and said, "What do you mean?"

Tanaka said: "It took me three months to try to find out the true face of Skynet, and I made a lot of adequate preparations in the early stage. In the end, I infiltrated and cracked through various government networks attached to the Skynet system, and finally began to come into contact with the 'true face' of Skynet. ”

Speaking of this, Tanaka's tone became more and more solemn, and Simon Wilson seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, and remained completely silent, looking at Tanaka without saying a word.

There was more joy and confusion between Tanaka's eyebrows, and there was a faint sense of fear.

"I don't know how to describe you. Rather than describing Skynet as a surveillance system, it is better to describe it as a kind of virtual utopian control center. ”

"Utopia Control Center?" Simon Wilson couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard the term, he really couldn't understand the meaning of Tanaka's mouth.

Tanaka continued, "It was a wonderful feeling, and I began to analyze Skynet's code protocol through the display screen, and found that the speed of change in its digital-analog matrix had completely entered an outrageous state. Unlike the large database of the packet capture system, the analysis system only stores data through the user's usage, to put it bluntly, it is just a large hard disk, and those who read the data are just a search-based application. As far as the program itself is concerned, the volume capacity is not huge, and the composition of the program is single. Within the basic framework, only the programmer needs to maintain it in the background. ”

"The Skynet system is different from the stereotype, it is a... A self-learning programming system. ”

Simon Wilson said, "So it's just an artificial intelligence system. ”

Tanaka shook his head vigorously and said, "No, Skynet is definitely not an artificial intelligence system. ”

"Artificial intelligence certainly has the ability to learn, but the so-called learning ability cannot escape the shackles of the rules of 'stereotype'. ”

"Centuries ago, the field of artificial intelligence learning first appeared in the field of chess, and artificial intelligence systems defeated the strongest human beings in the fields of chess and Go one by one. Later, with the research and development of major technology companies, artificial intelligence systems began to be applied to life, and they began to communicate with humans like a normal 'human' and assist human work and life. However, its essence is still the operation process of 'storage', 'search', 'retrieval', and 'application' as I said before, and the learning of the machine is just to record the user's habits. ”

"And the learning of the Skynet system is more like that of humans..."

Simon Wilson still didn't quite understand what Tanaka said, but because of his professional sensitivity, he had begun to perceive the surprise in the logic of the two, and a bad premonition began to appear in his mind.

Tanaka swallowed a mouthful of foam and said, "The reason why humans can become the rulers of this planet is that they have a super learning ability. And unlike the fixed learning of machine systems, human learning methods are more flexible. ”

For example, when a painter paints, he does not simply display objects on paper, but integrates his emotional state and consciousness expression on canvas paper through painting, while a clever painter can express his thoughts to others through his works, and other people can obtain this information only through the picture when they have not communicated with him. ”

"It's not just that human beings have higher-order emotional abilities, it's also an experience that combines emotion and learning, and this experience is formed by nature and a lot of learning. It can be said that there is no specific law to define this state, and it belongs to the kind of ideology that can only be understood but not spoken. ”

Speaking of which, Tanaka looked at Simon Wilson and said, "I feel this state of consciousness in the Skynet system. ”

Simon Wilson had a look of surprise in his eyes, he really didn't expect to hear such a truth from Tanaka's mouth. Simon Wilson was both surprised and frightened.

"When I first entered the core of the Skynet system, I felt like I had been discovered, because at that moment the entire database went into a state of temporary pause, like the stunned feeling of a person in a suddenly frightened situation. ”

After a brief moment of stunnedness, it quickly regained its composure. And at that time, Skynet did not begin to turn on its defensive counterattack system, and it began to try to attack me... Communicate. ”

"Communication, is it chatting?" Simon Wilson really couldn't resist the urge to interject.

Tanaka shook his head and said, "No, it started to continue to run like it was going to be, as if it didn't notice my presence." At first I thought I had escaped the reconnaissance process, but then I realized that it was the Skynet system that was making a show to me..."

"It's showing its ability to evolve. ”

"Evolve," Simon Wilson muttered.

Tanaka said: "It was at that time that I discovered the uniqueness of the Skynet system, its system half is changing programming every minute and every second, simply like the metabolism of the human body, replacing the old and loopy code with new and perfect code. This kind of speed and sophistication is not something that many program developers can do. ”

After saying that, Tanaka slowly closed his eyes, and after a moment he opened his eyes and said, "It's a kind of life operation, except that code characters replace blood." But what is the same is that they are all elements that sustain 'life'. ”

After that, Tanaka said to Simon Wilson seriously: "With life, will consciousness be far away?"
