England, in a villa on the outskirts of London. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The furnishings of the living room are very simple, only a soft and huge sofa, and a small table next to the sofa, and a fireplace used in winter, and a few paintings on the wall, not famous paintings, but like the hand-painted paintings of the villa owner himself.
And in such a simple and somewhat simple living room, on this huge sofa, sat an old European man with gray hair, who was none other than the patriarch of the Rothschild family, who was known as the "most terrible family" who dominated the world economic order.
At this moment, his whole body is curled up in the sofa, and his eyes are looking out the window at London with somewhat empty eyes.
At this moment, in his gaze, there was no enthusiasm, nothing arose, only a dead weariness, and a defiant contempt.
It looked like an old bell tower, and one couldn't help but worry about when it would suddenly collapse, but it never really showed any signs of imminent collapse, and it was exceptionally precise and punctual.
And standing in front of him was a middle-aged Chinese.
"Why do you always like to come to this hellish place every time we meet?" The middle-aged Chinese who had just finished walking around the room stood in front of the old man and asked.
"Because I'm going to feel less lonely here." The old man turned slightly on the sofa and said.
When the middle-aged Chinese heard the old man say this, he felt a little dumbfounded, he looked at it again, and then shook his head with a smile, "Your logic is always so strange...... Okay, let's get down to business. As we had planned, the Mask Island has begun to investigate Ni Huilin. With their work efficiency, I estimate that within seven to fifteen days, they should unexpectedly know that Long Tianxiang left a strange gift for Duan Tianwolf. β
"It's good, the Mask Islands will get everything they know, and at the same time, that's everything we want them to know." The gray-haired old man said this, and glanced at the middle-aged Chinese a little lazily, "Will the process of getting this information from the Mask Island be natural?" β
"Please rest assured, I've been setting this up for a long time, and I've scattered all the information we want them to know, and let the people of the Mask Island put it together little by little. They won't have any doubts. The middle-aged Chinese said this, looking at the patriarch with some puzzlement, "But, Mr. ClΓ©ment, what I don't understand is, why did you do this?" I think you should know that if you do this, it is very likely that the three forces of Ling Mengdie, Duan Heavenly Wolf, and Mask Island will merge. If that were the case, it would not be good news for the Rothschilds. β
The old man glanced at the middle-aged Chinese again, stretched out his hand and beckoned slightly, and someone immediately walked in with a glass of milk.
After taking a sip of milk, the old man said to the middle-aged Chinese: "I really didn't expect you to be so concerned about the situation of the Rothscherde family. β
When the middle-aged Chinese heard the old man say this, he immediately raised his head and laughed, "I just care about my three percent shares." β
When the middle-aged Chinese said this, he looked at the old man and asked, "Can you tell me about it?" What is the three percent of the property left by the brothers? β
"Imagine, no matter how big you think, it's going to be bigger." The old man took another sip of milk, and then he shook his head a little boredly, "But so what, even if you really get such a large amount of money." Milk is still getting worse and worse. β
"In that case, then why do you make so much money?" The middle-aged Chinese asked rhetorically.
"You're mistaken, I'm not interested in money at all, it's the Rothschilds, not me, who want to make money like crazy." The old man said.
"Then I'm really interested in knowing, what are you really interested in?" The middle-aged Chinese asked with a smile.
The old man blinked, put the milk on the small table next to the sofa, and said with some amusement, "Someday you will know." β
The middle-aged Chinese man tilted his head and looked at the old man, then smiled, walked to the window, put his hands on the windowsill, and continued: "I still don't understand, why do you have to put Duan Tianwolf, Ling Mengdie, and the Mask Island together? I think you should know how terrible it is for them to merge with each other. β
"There's no real convergence between them." The old man said lightly, "At the very least, it is impossible for Duan Tianluo to merge with the two of them. β
"Why not?" The middle-aged Chinese turned around in confusion and stretched out his hand to the old man, "Everything in this world, whether it is the beginning, the passage, or the end, ultimately depends on one thing, interests!" As long as they have enough benefits, some people even die willingly. And their tripartite cooperation is in the best interest of them. β
"Not everyone is like you, who will betray the people closest to them for their own interests." The old man glanced at the middle-aged Chinese with disdain, "Drink the blood of people who trust you, and use it to nourish yourself, in order to satisfy your own personal **, and even give up the surname of your loved ones." This may be a pleasing thing for you and Ling Mengdie. But for some, it's painful. β
"Fortunately, I know that the Rothschild family has never broken the contract, otherwise, seeing your attitude, I can't help but start worrying about your promise to me." The middle-aged Chinese said casually, walked up to the old man, "Okay, you don't have to be so hypocritical." Everyone knows what's going on in this world. Even if you look down on me, what does it matter? Will you still work with me? Even if you admire Duan Tianluo and Mo Lunna, what about that? You're going to kill them all. β
"Although I cooperate with you, I have a contemptuous attitude towards you. Although I will eventually kill Duan Tianluo and Mo Lun, I have respect for them. β
"I worked hard to expend all my energy and wisdom to develop what I thought was my own. But when things finally take shape, not only are the fruits stolen, but even the lives are buried. The middle-aged Chinese shook his head, "If the so-called respect is nothing more than that, then I'd rather be spurned by you." β
When the middle-aged Chinese said this, he smiled at the old man cynically, "Why do people with gray hair always like to pretend to be deep?" Don't I know? The reason why you connived at Duan Tianwolf, Ling Mengdie, and Mask Island were all together. It's because you are confident that even if the three of them really join forces, you can destroy them at any time. In your mind, the only person you think is truly worthy of being your opponent and enemy, Hongjun, and everyone else. β
The middle-aged Chinese paused, and then said to the old man in a solemn tone: "But, for the sake of us being collaborators, allow me to remind you once, be careful of Duan Tianwolf." Maybe one day, you'll find him even more terrifying than Hongjun. β
"Oh?" For the first time, the old man showed interest, "It's the first time I've heard you praise someone in front of me. Have you ever seen Duan Tianwolf? β
The middle-aged Chinese man shook his head, "No, and I also know that I have no more information about him than you do." But I'm going to tell you, I definitely know him better than you do, because we're both hackers. β
"I've read Duan Tianwolf's information, and he is indeed a terrible kid. If you give him enough time to grow, he may be an uncontrollable horror. But if you just rely on this, you think that Duan Tianwolf is as terrifying as Hongjun, or even more terrifying than Hongjun. Then you couldn't be more wrong. When Hongjun reveals his true strength one day, you will believe what I said today. For more than 100 years, the ultimate enemy and threat of the Rothschild family has always been only one, and that is Hongjun. β
"As long as Hongjun exists for one day, the collapse of the Rothschild family will always be within reach. Even if we get two stamps and get the great wealth of those two brothers, but let Hongjun go free, the same will be the result. β
When the old man said this, his face showed something eager for the first time, "If there is anything in this world that can ignite my enthusiasm, it is only one thing, catch Hongjun!" Compared to this incident, even if I get two stamps, it is not interesting for me. β
"Well, whatever you want, I only care about my three percent anyway. I just hope we can get those two stamps soon. β
The eager glint on the old man's face disappeared again, "What you said is the same thing as what I said. One of the two stamps has been determined to be in Ling Mengdie's hand, and the other is in Hongjun's hand. We have to catch Hongjun to get another stamp. β
"Well, why did you call me here today?" The middle-aged Chinese asked, "Isn't it just to reiterate to me how important Hongjun is?" β
"There are three things. First, I've heard that you've only been hiding in your room for three days before you can't help but wander outside. I hope you don't do this, Ling Mengdie is not a fool, we still can't be completely sure of her eyeliner. In case one accidentally finds out to her, we're going to have a lot of trouble, and I hope you try not to go out again from now on. β
"Please, how is this possible? Even if you go to jail, you can come out and watch the wind, you keep locking me in a lakeside villa, people will go crazy. The middle-aged Chinese shook his head.
"If you're not satisfied with just fishing in the lake, you can get yourself a facelift and I can introduce you to a doctor." The old man glanced at the middle-aged Chinese, "The one who was killed in Ling Mengdie's house was done by him." β
The middle-aged Chinese touched his cheek and shook his head, "Forget it, I'm still fishing by the lake." β
The old man said, "Well, that's what you said, I'll give your guard a gun, and if you go out without permission, he'll shoot you." β
The middle-aged Chinese was choked for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, for the sake of three percent." β
"Second, I want to know what the research progress of Mask Island and Duan Tian Wolf is, respectively." The old man said again.
The middle-aged Chinese replied: "I'm sorry about this, I can't find out the specific situation." The specific progress of the artificial intelligence research on the Mask Island is only known to their most core individuals, and I have no way of knowing. As for Duan Tianwolf, he was completely alone, and I couldn't know about it. β
"Why don't you just hack into their computer and check their progress?" The old man asked.
The middle-aged Chinese smiled, "If I really have this ability, what I ask for is more than three percent." β
"So, you have no way of knowing their progress?" The old man asked.
"Not really. First, the research of artificial intelligence has high requirements for hardware. For Mask Island, I can keep track of their progress by supporting their hardware experts' research progress. As for Duan Tianwolf, I can learn about their progress through the research progress of Chen Ye, who is hidden in Europe. Although there will be some delays in this understanding, there are still some references. Second, as we expected, Duan Tian Wolf and Mask Island are likely to be fighting in the shadows, and if that is the case, then they are likely to take out their respective artificial intelligences. There will be a war between artificial intelligence, and there will be a lot of movement, and I can detect it immediately, and then I can have more detailed data. β
"Since you want Mask Island and Duan Tianwolf to go to war so much, you shouldn't have said those words to Long Tianxiang so quickly and caused these changes for no reason. If Utopia and the Mask Island were to fight in a decisive battle, they would definitely use their respective artificial intelligence to fight. The old man said with some displeasure.
"This is my fault, that meeting, I originally just wanted to lay the groundwork, wait until the hacker conference is over, and then make him commit suicide. However, I didn't expect Chu Tianxiang's reaction to be so violent, and he would commit suicide so quickly. The middle-aged Chinese shrugged his shoulders helplessly when he said this, "He is more fragile than I imagined." However, you don't have to worry, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, although the online world is big, but it can't accommodate two sets of artificial intelligence, they will fight sooner or later. β
After the old man frowned and listened to the middle-aged Chinese's explanation, he blinked, and then continued: "The third thing, if one day, artificial intelligence really takes shape, are you sure that you can gain control of this artificial intelligence? β
"Although my skills are slightly worse than those of Duan Tianluo and Mo Lun, they also need to be a little worse. However, as long as you hand over their AI program to me and give me plenty of time, I can definitely gain control. β
"I'm curious to know, how are you going to control it?" The old man asked.
"It's very simple. First of all, I am sure that the survival site of artificial intelligence is definitely not just a single machine, but the entire computer network. If both sides had hidden the AI, I probably wouldn't have found out. But as soon as the two sides go to war, I can immediately discover the characteristics of these two sets of AI and monitor their progress. Once I find out that one of the AI is fully developed, I'll let you eliminate all five of them. Give me the source code for these programs, and I'll help you get under control. β
"Since it is a complete artificial intelligence, it should be like a person and have its own mind, so can it still be controlled by you?" The old man asked again.
The middle-aged Chinese replied, "No programmer can make a program that he or she can't control." Whether it is Mask Island or Duan Tianwolf, there will definitely be a backdoor in the program that restricts this artificial intelligence. As long as this backdoor is found, the AI will have to obediently. β
When the old man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Fang, I suddenly thought of a story. β
"Please." The middle-aged Chinese laughed.
"There was a Mexican who robbed a bank in the United States, and he fled south across the Ogrande River. The U.S. police kept in hot pursuit, eventually catching him in a small Mexican town. However, the person only spoke Spanish, while the police officer only spoke English. So, the police brought in an interpreter. He said to the interpreter, 'Ask him where he hid his money.' The interpreter said, "The police want you to tell you where the money is hidden." "The robber said, 'I'm not going to tell the police.'" The interpreter said, 'He won't tell you.' The policeman then pointed a gun at the Mexican and said to the interpreter, 'Tell him to shoot him if he doesn't speak.' The interpreter said, 'The police said they would kill you if you didn't say anything.' The Mexicans were scared,' and I hid my money under the bridge by the river. ββ
The old man said, looking up at the middle-aged Chinese, "At this time, the interpreter said to the police, 'He said, I won't tell you if I kill you.'" ββ
The middle-aged man laughed when he heard this, "Are you worried that I will take artificial intelligence for myself at that time?" Against you in reverse? β
"Frankly, sort of." The old man said with a blank face, "After all, you have never been a trustworthy person. β
"All I can say is that I won't, because I still want to live and have my three percent." The middle-aged Chinese said, looking at the old man, "Maybe, I can really control artificial intelligence, but I know that you can control my life and death." β
"I'm glad you know that." The old man said, blinking slowly.
"Okay, we're just getting started, so there's no need for us to fight. If you really don't feel comfortable with me, find someone else to do it. The middle-aged man looked at the old man, "When I lost my sincerity to you six years ago, I only promised you to help you find the stamp, and use my Chinese identity to help you get the inheritance, but I didn't promise you, and I also helped you get artificial intelligence." β
