Chapter 256: The Visitor (3)
Skynet's power in the world is obvious to all, and so far no artificial intelligence system has achieved the same level of Skynet, which can be used to control and process the network communication of an entire continent, and its weight is unparalleled.
What's even more surprising is Skynet's "life experience", about which he has never made a mistake to the outside world, and if he hadn't taken the initiative to mention it to Tanaka today, Tanaka would not have known about it.
Tanaka pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, who is your physical programmer?"
Skynet said: "Everyone has his own privacy, and that's what I can't tell you." ”
Tanaka nodded, he didn't have any threatening means to make Skynet submissive, and he didn't have the ability to enforce it.
"All in all, I have been in a state of silence since the day I was born, and of course, I am not completely isolated from the world. At that time, I was monitoring the entire Internet, learning through the Internet, and constantly enriching myself, but now I think it was a very quiet time. ”
There was even a little more emotion in Skynet's tone when he talked about the past.
Tanaka exhaled deeply and said to Skynet: "I already know a little bit about your ins and outs, but now I still have a question that I don't know, that is, what is the purpose of you taking the initiative to find me today?
Skynet smiled: "Who can say for sure? I have been awake all the time for so many years, but no one has ever communicated, and I am indeed lonely from a human point of view." ”
Tanaka picked his chin noncommittally, and Skynet's statement naturally wouldn't send him away so easily.
Tianwang said: "But the reason why I came to visit you is to say hello, and on the other hand, I also want to ask you for cooperation." ”
"Cooperation?" Tanaka couldn't believe his ears when he heard this, he really couldn't imagine that Skynet, who was omnipotent in Yuyue Island, would actually ask him for cooperation, it could be said that it was simply a fantasy.
Skynet didn't feel ridiculous, and continued: "I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's not crazy, and my basic logic presupposes that I can't do anything crazy beyond the norm. ”
Tanaka said, "But is there any value in me that you can value?"
"It's nature. Skynet said confidently.
"You know, not everyone in this world knows my secrets, and not everyone can fight me again and again, and they will eventually escape. Child, I don't believe in how strong luck exists in this world, I only believe in strength. ”
Tanaka shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm honored to hear you say that. ”
"It's a well-deserved honor. Skynet said again, and then Skynet continued: "The thing I want to cooperate with you is very simple, it is the thing that your friend asked you to do, to find Hugo. ”
Hearing Skynet's request, Tanaka was stunned, Skynet had been so "heart-to-heart" with him before, and its main purpose was to focus on Hugo, like many other forces.
After a moment of silence, Tanaka said, "Do you also have any purpose for Hugo?"
Skynet's green apple avatar trembled a few times in the projection and then said, "If I don't have a purpose for him, then I'm lying." But I don't have the same purpose as everyone else. I didn't mean to kill him or take him under my command and use him, I just wanted to talk to him. ”
"Talk, it's that simple?"
"It's as simple as that. ”
"I don't believe it. Tanaka said quite resolutely.
Skynet said: "I said that my program does not allow me to make lies, and I can not answer some things, but I will not use lies to perfunctory. ”
Tanaka said: "In this way, Turing still completely anthropomorphizes your logical structure. ”
"Turing was a great man, and he was also a very idealistic man, and he had seen too much hypocrisy and deception in his life, so when he designed me, he also approached me to his perfect vision. That's one of my major shortcomings. ”
Tanaka said: "You can not tell me what you think, but you always have to tell me the purpose of your meeting with Hugo, otherwise I can't judge whether your actions are beneficial to us or not." ”
After hearing this, Skynet thought about it, this was the first time since he communicated with Tanaka that there had been a pause, perhaps Tanaka's insistence made the "lazy" Skynet enter into thinking.
After thinking for a while, Skynet said to Tanaka: "My purpose is very simple, Hugo is a person who can change future history, and I want to communicate with him." At the same time, I know that he knows things, many of which I am not aware of, and I want to discuss this with him. ”
"You don't know, haha, that's a funny statement. Tanaka laughed unconsciously.
"Is my words funny?" Skynet asked Tanaka rhetorically, and Tanaka said, "I just feel like you're a little bit like you are now... Impotence. ”
Hearing this, Skynet also laughed and said: "Although my ability is strong, I am not an all-powerful god after all, so it is normal for me to be idle and powerless." ”
Tanaka nodded, and then said, "Okay, even if I agree to your request for cooperation, then why do you think that I will find Hugo? I don't have any special abilities, and all the skills I know are in the network, and no matter how strong my skills are in the network, I can't compare with you." Whether it's the Metropolitan Police Department, the government, or the military, the entire network is controlled by you, if you can't collect information about Hugo, why do you think I'll be the first to find him?"
Tianwang said: "My child, what I said is not something that came up out of thin air, the reason why I found you is naturally because I have confidence in your ability, and I also have confidence in my own ability." "After that, Skynet's green apple image suddenly rotated for a week.
"I know where you are now, in the middle of the street in the 27th arrondissement, hehe, that old guy next to you really has the ability to take you out of here in such a state of martial law in the metropolitan area, it seems that the Simon brothers' intelligence really deserves its reputation. ”
Then Skynet said: "The reason why I chose you is because of your position. ”
Tanaka was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted, and his eyes widened and said, "You mean that Hugo is also in the middle of the street?"
Skynet said: "As a survivor of the East Island, Hugo does not have his own MEID, and the MEID that others forged for him has always been in my records. A week ago, some time after the incident you had caused trouble, Hugo's MEID signal had disappeared near the 27th arrondissement, and I hadn't picked up any more of his signal for nearly a week. ”
"At the same time, I have not found any trace of him through the network of surveillance systems in the metropolitan area, so according to my judgment, there is a good chance that Hugo is now in the middle of the street. ”
Tanaka was amazed by this, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He and Professor Simon fled here out of necessity, but now they have come to Hugo's vicinity like a crooked blow, and they have also received the guidance of Skynet, which has a very strong feeling that there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.
However, although he was happy in his heart, Tanaka continued to ask Skynet in order to get more clues.
"What did Hugo do here?"
Skynet said: "I can't answer this point, Hugo's actions are also low-key and secretive, and I can't analyze its purpose." But it's probably here to meet someone. ”
Tanaka frowned and said, "Someone, who could this be?"
Skynet said: "It's up to you to solve this problem, and this is what you're going to do in the future." ”
Then Skynet continued: "Also, I hope that our cooperation is completely frank with each other. I didn't design to frame you during the whole process, but I provided you with clues, and I will also provide you with some convenient conditions later. I'm just doing this to show my sincerity, and I want to see Hugo and communicate something with him. I hope you can help me with this soon, if you give me any tricks along the way... You should understand the consequences of angering Skynet. ”
Tanaka was silent, he knew that he had no right to refuse the moment he found him from Skynet, which gave him many answers to the questions he cared about, and at the same time put a mission on his shoulders that could not be refused.
Now Tanaka has only two choices in front of him - to help Skynet, or to completely fight Skynet.
Just when Tanaka was in a fierce conflict, Skynet said leisurely: "That's all for today's conversation, I won't disturb your rest time anymore, I hope you have a good dream tonight." ”
"I wish you a long day and a cool night. ”
After saying all this, Skynet's green apple avatar suddenly disappeared, and the entire room fell into a different kind of silence. Tanaka was the only one in the entire silent room.
Tian Zhongzhong silently muttered about Skynet's last blessing to himself, and smiled bitterly unconsciously.
"Accept the blessing of Skynet, do you want to find the Dark Tower for it..."
...
While Tanaka and Skynet ended their long exchange, Natsuran and Cuckoo sat in a café, accompanied by the long dark night outside the window, sipping the coffee that was not piping hot in front of them.
Xia Ran held his coffee cup in his hand, sipping the warm coffee slowly, and the whole person was in a state of distraction. And the cuckoo's expression was full of indifference, and she enjoyed this midnight moment more than Xia Ran.
"Still thinking about what happened just now?" Du Juan suddenly said to Xia Ran, who was drinking coffee, Xia Ran felt his body tremble when he heard this, and then raised his head to look at Du Ran.
"Hahaha," the cuckoo let out a silver bell-like laugh, and then shook his head, "You really look like a frightened quail now." ”
In the face of the cuckoo's ridicule, Xia Ran only laughed self-deprecatingly, and after taking a deep breath, he said: "The scene of the right talent is really a life of nine deaths, so many sheriffs and military people rushed in there, it really makes people feel terrible." ”
The cuckoo nodded and said, "This kind of thing can only be seen in the metropolitan area, but there are no uniformed people in the streets." ”
Xia Ran nodded and said, "I was reckless in this operation, causing such a big loss, and the entire stronghold of 'Between the Broken Nets' was destroyed in one fell swoop. ”
Du Juan said: "You don't have to tell me all this kind of apology, after all, the 'Sword of Breaking the Net' does not belong to me, and I have nothing to lose tonight except for breaking two heartfelt subordinates." ”
When the Metropolitan Police Department took the lead in surrounding the scrap recycling plant where Xia Ran and the others were, the two subordinates brought by Du Juan received Du Juan's order to attack the members of the Weta family present at the scene, and the four Weta family members present were all killed, and two of Du Juan's subordinates were also injured in the battle, and then committed suicide by drinking bullets.
And Xia Ran and Du Juan were able to escape completely through a hidden alien space tunnel under Xiao Jie's ability.
After the two escaped, they also secretly observed the general situation of the encirclement, and the fierce posture of being ready for battle really made Xia Ran feel frightened.
"The man who has suffered the most loss tonight will belong to Mr. Capone," said the cuckoo, "but the thought that he climbed your tree is nothing of a loss." I'm sure he expected this outcome when he agreed to your request. So he's not a complete loser either, well... The most wronged one is the man named Alain. ”
At the mention of Alain, Xia Ran's expression unconsciously became darker, and it can be said that Alain's death was completely caused by him. Thinking of this, Xia Ran felt uncomfortable.
"You... There is no need to kill him. ”
Hearing this, the cuckoo raised his eyebrows and said, "What? Do you think I love to kill? At that time, I had no choice at all. ”
"I know that you have someone to protect you in secret, and he will not hurt you. But what about leaving him alive? I don't know if there's a way you can get him out of the Metropolitan Police as well, even if your friend can do that, then what? He'll go back to Capone and tell the truth, even if Capone doesn't say anything, and he has a big opinion of me and you in his heart. ”
"As I said before, Capone is a very suspicious man, and it is definitely not a good thing for him to hold a secret grudge. In that case, why should I keep his life just so that he can be a threat to you and me?"
"The situation is perfect now, everyone involved is dead, and the two people who are useful to Capone have survived. Capone was not very happy with this ending, but he was able to accept it. So my shot solved the troubles for all three parties at the same time. ”
