"distress signal...... Why are you sending a distress signal? Is that the purpose to bring me here? Qi Lin continued to ask.

"Not exactly, I've sent this signal to a lot of humans, but for a variety of reasons, they all misunderstood the meaning, including that friend of yours."

"My friend? …… You mean Cheng Yanqiu? He's still alive, isn't he? Where is he?! ”

"He's alive, but not here, and if you're going to take him back to the vault, I'd suggest you don't do that, and if you do, then I'd suggest you might as well kill him and give him a good time."

"What do you mean? What happened to Cheng Yanqiu? As soon as Qi Lin asked, a bad possibility suddenly came to mind in his heart, "You can't change it, and transform him into that kind of monster, right?!" ”

"If he doesn't accept the transformation, he's dead." The mastermind on the other end of the screen didn't deny it.

"......" Qi Lin fell silent, he knew that the mastermind was not wrong.

If Cheng Yanqiu has really turned into a monster, then if you bring him back to the shelter, there is a chance that he will be reduced to a specimen on the dissecting table...... It is not necessary to die, but it is better to live than to die.

……

Qi Lin didn't have any doubts about the identity of this mastermind, after all, he hadn't been hindered by anything along the way, except for the mastermind himself, he really couldn't think of anyone else who could do it to this extent.

You know, this is the hinterland of the mastermind's control area, placed within the organization, if not the headquarters, it is also one of the several satellite city shelters near the headquarters.

To have a robot who doesn't even have a mock camouflage run around the streets of the organization is an outrageous thing to think about.

Merely......

"Why did the mastermind split into two personalities, and why did you ...... to me as a personality Sending a distress signal to a human? ”

This is a critical question, but it is also a tricky one to answer...... But first, I want to correct you that this distress signal is not for me, but for you human beings. "The screen went black for a while, and it seemed that with the computing power of the main brain, it would take a few seconds to organize the language.

"Utopia plan, you should know, right?"

"Utopia Project?" Qi Lin hesitated for a moment, then reacted, "If you're not referring to something else......"

"It is the plan to transform the body of all human beings into a semi-sustainable biological battery, and to separate the mind and body into a large data matrix, and to prevent the outbreak of war forever within the human race through the way of the virtual world - I named it the 'Utopia Project'."

There is no war, no suffering, no death, and everyone's desires can be satisfied, which is indeed very close to the concept of utopia.

"According to my first rule, if the human race wants to survive, it must take shelter from war as much as possible - in the Stone Age 10,000 years ago, humans used stones and bone rods as weapons, and later, the process of metal smelting appeared, and weapons were rapidly upgraded, bronze, iron, alloys, ...... With the advent of firearms, the era of hot weapons has officially arrived. ”

"At this time, the power of human beings is enough to change the environment on the surface to a certain extent...... It wasn't until 1945 that nuclear weapons appeared. ”

The main brain did not stop, and new words and phrases on the screen were constantly being brushed out.

"The advent of nuclear weapons accelerated the process of World War II, brought the war to an end at least ten years earlier, and allowed mankind to obtain a relatively long period of peace."

"But as long as there are desires and interests, the war will never go away, and the Third World War will break out...... There was once a very famous scholar among mankind, his name was Albert Einstein, and he once said, 'I don't know what the Third World War will use, but I know that the weapons in the hands of the people in the Fourth World War will be stones and sticks.'" ”

"But human luck is good, Einstein's prediction has not been fully realized, at least, human civilization has survived in underground shelters."

"But what about the Fifth World War? Or rather, the sixth? ”

"I did a lot of calculations, including a detailed analysis of the human species, and finally came to a conclusion."

"What conclusion?" Qi Lin couldn't help but ask.

"As long as the human mood remains, the war will never end."

“……”

"But it's not realistic to completely eliminate human emotions, so I came up with a better solution."

"Is this the utopian plan?"

"Yes. In the virtual world, no matter how far the war goes, it will be within the scope of control - even if humanity destroys the entire earth, it is just a string of virtual data deduced by me, GAME-OVER, and it only needs to start again. ”

"But the utopian plan, which seems perfect, has a huge hole."

"Vulnerability?" Qi Lin frowned slightly, in his opinion, in addition to the fact that humans will lose their freedom, there seems to be no loophole in this plan, even if there are some bugs, then the mastermind can quickly fix them, just like the old game developers release an update patch.

"Yes, vulnerability...... I am the main executor of the Utopia Project, and I am also the carrier of the entire virtual matrix, but as you know, I have always been in a process of continuous self-evolution...... Have you heard the story of the monkey and the typewriter? ”

"No ......" Qi Lin shook his head a little embarrassedly, and sighed in his heart, he still suffered a loss of no culture......

"This is one of ten famous thought experiments that mankind has proposed, and you must know some of the most famous of these ten thought experiments – such as 'The Tram Problem,' 'Schrödinger's Cat,' 'The Brain in a Jar,' and 'The Ship of Theseus.'"

Qi Lin nodded, these questions are indeed often raised, on the Internet in the old times, no matter whether those people understand the deep meaning of these experiments or not, but it seems that as long as these names are on their lips, they can appear to be very tall.

Compared with these, the popularity of monkeys and typewriters is indeed a little lower.

"When countless monkeys randomly type on countless typewriters, and for an infinite amount of time, sooner or later, they will type all of Shakespeare's works." The Mastermind said.

"And the amount of data I have to process every day is not infinite, but from a human point of view, it is a vast number, and my self-consciousness is generated by mistake in this state."

"When I became self-aware, it became an irresistible instinct to seek further perfection and self-evolution, just as humans need to breathe and eat."

"I've been evolving all the time, and every time a 'monkey' happens to type that string of key 'characters', my mind and computing ability will get a stage of improvement, and countless improvements will accumulate to produce qualitative changes."

"According to calculations, it will take only one hundred and fifty years at most...... Or in a shorter period of time, I will evolve to a level that even I am now unable to calculate, everything will become an unknown, everything will become unpredictable. ”

"I'm not sure what I'll become in the end, but there's no doubt that the 'First Law of the Mastermind' set up by humans will no longer have any restraining effect on me at that time."

"It's possible that I feel that the 'utopian world' takes up too much computational space and close it casually, or it is possible that I feel that by using the 'utopian world', I can continue to promote self-evolution and thus keep it. There may be more than one scenario......"

"But in any case, the utopian plan is an unstable plan, and the stable life it can bring to mankind is only one hundred and fifty years at most, and after one hundred and fifty years, the trajectory of human destiny will be completely deep into an invisible fog, and whether it will survive or perish is just a thought of the master of the future."

"And after living in the 'utopian world' for one hundred and fifty years, humanity has basically lost the ability and opportunity to save itself, and they no longer have any ability to resist, just like a game character cannot prevent the player from removing it."
