0001: Artificial Intelligence
"Professor Isaac, you can't do this! You can't take my personal belongings! That's my smartphone! It's my tablet! β
Lin Chen loudly protested to the bald middle-aged man standing outside the door of his room in stiff English.
"It's all mine, you don't have the right to confiscate them!"
Due to the excitement of the love xΓΉ, he has not seen the sun for a long time, and a touch of flush appeared on his slightly pale face.
Although he was strongly protesting the other party's outrageous behavior, he did not take any real action to stop it.
Standing still, two muscular men wearing black T-shirts without any logos, more than a head taller than him, and arms thicker than his thighs, walked out of the room with his cell phone and computer.
Lin Chen knew that he was a freshman with thin arms and legs, and these security guards who suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the past two days, it was a completely futile move, and he might be beaten up by the other party.
"Lin, don't get excited, I believe that every staff member in our room is a good person. Just wait here quietly for some time and things will soon get better. β
Standing outside the door, a bald middle-aged man in a neat suit and an ivory cane in his hand, spoke in his hoarse voice to the somewhat excited Chinese young man in the room, and when he heard it, it was empty words used to comfort the ignorant people.
The balding middle-aged man, Isaac, in his fifties, is a distinguished professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a well-known expert in the field of artificial intelligence.
He is also the head of the artificial intelligence room, which is located on the 12th floor of the Empire Technology Building on Fulton Street in downtown Providence, the capital of Rhode Island, and was established by Oppenheimer Technology with a huge amount of money.
Lin Chen, who is a freshman at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was fooled by this guy to come here as a coolie for a full scholarship.
"Leak! Professor Isaac, you should understand that you are going to make my life very sad by doing this! β
Excited, Lin Chen tore off the white coat that was draped on his body and threw it above the door that was closing.
"I'm really sorry. Then you'll only have to sleep for a while, or watch TV. The 1o8-inch picture is large and clear, and it is a pleasure to watch any program. β
Isaac stood outside the door, and from the crack in the door that was being shut, he helplessly spread his hands to Lin Chen in the room, saying that he couldn't help.
As the project leader here, he didn't want to destroy the relationship with everyone.
After all, he is responsible for opening the project, if he lacks a cheap and hard-working subordinate like Lin Chen, then his future work will not be good.
If he loses these people, he has to spend more money and hire more people to do things that are not too important, but someone needs to do them.
Although Isaac knows that letting today's young people live a primitive life without computers, mobile phones, and networks for half a day is like killing them, it will make them crazy.
However, the resolution set by the company's board of directors and the huge pressure from many strong partners, he, a small project leader, can only do it, and he really can't change anything.
From the sudden arrival of these two days of well-trained security personnel, Isaac knew that those special departments that had invested heavily in this project could not help but take action personally.
And Isaac believes that those special departments will soon send elites here to investigate.
"Hey~ I hope the problem won't be with the group I formed." Isaac shook his bald head, let out a helpless sigh, and left from Lin Chen's door.
"The world's most advanced computer, and the perfect combination of artificial intelligence system, the intelligent computer "matrix", is about to be completed! How could it suddenly get out of control~ It's really hateful! I'm still looking forward to completing the last research item smoothly, and then I can get my Turing Award! β
Isaac silently followed the new security guards to the next room.
He also had to give a little verbal comfort to the next member of the project team who was to have all their communication tools and computer equipment temporarily confiscated, and to give them peace of mind that the investigation was about to end, and to give them confidence that the storm would soon pass......
Behind them, I don't know if the timing of the door closing was just right, or if the white coat that Lin Chen threw just now flew cleverly, anyway, when the door closed, the white coat was hanging right above the door frame.
The hanging hem of the garment just obscures most of the small glass window on the door, so that the view of the room from the outside will be more or less affected by the angle.
Just enough for people outside to see the inside of the room, the large-screen TV attached to one side of the wall.
"I ...... Is this considered house arrest? β
Lin Chen, who was standing in the room, looked at the white coat hanging on the door with a somewhat strange expression, and his heart couldn't help but jump up.
Some time ago, he saw a missing person message on an underground website called Phantom Network, saying that a talented Chinese student who was studying for a doctorate in the United States had disappeared, and some people replied that they might have been put under house arrest by a legendary department in the United States.
Lin Chen still felt that this kind of gossip circulating on the Internet could not be trusted.
But this incident also left a deep impression on his subconscious.
After all, it's normal to be insecure in an unfamiliar foreign land.
Of course, he never thought of himself as a genius, his IQ was exactly the same as that of ordinary people, within the absolute normal range, and like the vast majority of ordinary peers, living, playing, clubbing on the Internet, playing games and watching anime, etc.
It's just that he is willing to spend more time and put some effort into some aspects that he is interested in, and there is nothing special about it.
But when he saw such rumors of house arrest, disappearance, kidnapping, etc., he still had an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart.
Just because you don't see the darkness doesn't mean that the darkness doesn't exist, it's just that the night hasn't come to you yet, or that you're in the dark!
Behind many things in this world, it is really not as simple and glamorous as it seems on the surface.
So five days ago, when he was involved in the project team to open the intelligent computer, the cause of the "matrix" system was unexpectedly out of control.
He suppressed the excitement and fear in his heart, and began to prepare for the various situations that might arise in the future, and also expected the situation that he least wanted to see at the moment - restricting his freedom of movement and waiting for investigation!
Retracting his thoughts, Lin Chen's face was a little irritable, looking a little confused, his head was lowered, his eyes were wide, his feet were slowly pacing, and he swayed around in a large circle in this room with an area of only about twenty square meters.
He carefully observed and searched the house where he had lived for almost two months, and carefully looked at every corner, every wall, and every thing.
As a result, after observing this circle, he didn't see anything unfamiliar in the room, or added any obvious traces, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and lazily walked to the opposite side of the LCD TV on the big screen.
Lying down in the wide sand, holding the TV remote control with his left hand to turn on the giant LCD TV that occupies an entire wall, and then constantly switching TV programs; The right hand is a little boring, putting it on the head and scratching the already slightly long head on the head, looking like grinding and rubbing the itch.
Suddenly there is no mobile phone and computer, and people who cut off network communication may be like this, right?
Lin Chen didn't know how others would react when they encountered this situation, but he was extremely nervous at this time, and there seemed to be some inexplicable excitement in his heart.
The important moment he's been waiting for for days is coming!
After a while, the program played on the LCD TV was switched by him more than ten times in a row, and each time it was just when the picture appeared on the LCD TV screen, he pressed the change button on the remote control, and the program was switched, and the interval between each switch was almost the same.
It's like counting the seconds, pressing it one by one.
When he switched the program channel for the eleventh time, a red car appeared on the TV screen, speeding on a golden boundless land, and a safety sign flashed next to it, with two lines of big Chinese characters written on it!
"500 kilometers of no man's land, pay attention to traffic safety!"
Then the TV screen suddenly went black, and then many circular bright spots of different colors such as red, yellow, blue, and green lit up, scattered on the TV screen, either constantly flashing, or moving slowly, faintly showing a mysterious law.
The footage only appeared for a very brief moment, and then in a blink of an eye, it switched to a local Rhode Island news channel.
Lin Chen glanced at the time displayed in the upper right corner of the TV screen.
14οΌ12
Seeing this time made him nervous and excited, and it was very unbearable.
Because according to his plan, he would have to wait in this room for a full two hours and eighteen minutes before he could begin his next planned move.
But the excitement hidden in his heart was already like a devil who was about to be freed, restless, which made him even more irritable.
"Looks like we're going to have to find something to do, to distract myself." Thinking about it, Lin Chen sat up from the sand, put the TV remote control in his left hand on the coffee table in front of him, and scratched his right hand a few times on his head in an irritated manner.
At this time, the giant LCD TV that occupied an entire wall opposite him automatically switched the program in an unmanned state!
I saw that in the huge screen, as if an invisible blade had been crossed, two horizontal and two vertical lines appeared, cutting the entire screen into a large nine-square grid, and in each grid, a different picture was played.
There was an empty corridor; There were several closed doors; There is a stout black man in a black T-shirt who stands straight and stands by the elevator door, and there is a middle-aged white man in a suit who sits in front of a TV wall, tilting a pair of big feet on the control platform, and slowly drinking coffee......
What's especially weird is that in the middle frame, there is a black boy who is dressed exactly the same as Lin Chen, lying in a wide sand, watching a TV program, while scratching the slightly long black on his head with his hand, a picture of grinding skin and rubbing itchy absent-mindedness.
It's just that the TV screen in front of this young man is not like Lin Chen being divided into nine squares in front of him, but a very popular police blockbuster is being played recently.
A group of U.S. police officers and agents of the Joint Investigation Bureau were engaged in a fierce shootout in front of the bank with a group of outlaws robbing the bank.
The police and the bandits were clearly distinguished, hiding behind vehicles or buildings across the street, constantly slamming and shooting, and the fire was everywhere, but no one was shot and fell......
However, Lin Chen looked at the strange scene that suddenly appeared on the TV, but he did not show the slightest look of surprise and surprise on his face, but instead looked at the situation on the TV with a calm and relaxed expression.
In fact, the frame in the middle is the surveillance video in Lin Chen's room, which is just a synthetic picture that was processed by an artificial intelligence named "Amu" by him and then transmitted to the monitoring room.
If it weren't for the help of "Amu" hidden in the shadows, Lin Chen would not be able to calmly face the unfavorable situation of being restricted from his free activities like he is now.
Of course, if it weren't for the fact that the other day when he was bored, Tuqi came up with an encryption algorithm.
If it weren't for him, he had collected 100,000 test questions from various channels in recent years into a very unique password library.
If it weren't for the fact that he secretly used the computer in the real room, connected to the "Matrix", a level intelligent computer that he didn't know where, to test his creative encryption algorithm and personality password library.
He would not have thrown out of control the "matrix" of intelligent computers, which the United States claimed to be the most advanced and intelligent computer in the world, and he would not have been placed under house arrest now.
But if these are not born, then they were accidentally born because of this, and the artificial intelligence he named "Amu" will also not exist.
For this kind of accident that countless accidents are combined together, who can say clearly, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing?
After seeing the situation in the nine pictures, Lin Chen raised his right hand slightly, and his thumb tapped a few times on the knuckles of the remaining four fingers, the action was like a fortune teller pinching his fingers to tell fortunes - hand cramps!
Although the basis of this set of actions was learned and evolved by Lin Chen from the fortune teller in a TV series, who gave people the gesture of pinching their fingers to tell fortunes.
But the function is not to tell fortunes, but to create an original "input method".
Lin Chen called it "gesture command", which is a way to exchange information with the hidden "Amu" in special circumstances where there is no suitable input tool or cannot be made lightly.
Including his previous head scratching action, he was also using "gesture commands" to communicate with "Amu".
It's just that he turned his palm upside down and buckled it on his head to pretend to scratch his head, but in fact, he was silently exchanging information with "Amu" hidden in the monitoring system of the real room.
Looking at the man in the suit sitting in front of the TV wall in the picture, watching the surveillance video while leisurely drinking coffee, the corners of Lin Chen's mouth couldn't help but overflow with a smile proudly.
In this world, some things are really wonderful, I wonder who is looking at each other comfortably between him and this new security director?
At this time, Lin Chen sat on the sand, leisurely, and the picture on the TV kept switching with the movement of his fingers, taking in the situation in the entire building.
The posture is like an emperor sitting firmly in the treasure hall, commanding thousands of troops and horses like an arm, and the world is under control.
Soon, Lin Chen browsed all the surveillance screens in the building and had an intuitive understanding of the situation in the entire building.
The actions of the personnel everywhere are orderly, those who are responsible for guarding the door, those who are responsible for staring at the monitoring, and those who are responsible for staring at the various two live broadcasts, all of them are busy with their own affairs.
It can be seen that in a short period of time, no one should come to him to find trouble.
"It's time to start making further preparations."
Lin Chen raised his hand and pinched his fingers, giving "Amu" a warning command, and then got up and rummaged in various hidden places in the room......
