Chapter 553: Secret
Qi Lin finally understood why there was not a single electronic device in this room, with this "black umbrella", any electronic device would directly turn into a pile of waste, but ...... Why?
Cheng Yanqiu activated the "black umbrella", the heavy equipment began to operate, and under the heavy metal shell, there was a constant "buzzing" sound.
"Alright." Cheng Yanqiu patted the dust on his hands, pulled two chairs from the side, and handed one of them to Qi Lin.
"Lei Mufeng is dead, I mean in reality." Cheng Yanqiu said straight to the point.
"I had already guessed that he was talking to me right before he died." Qi Lin nodded.
"What did he say to you?" Cheng Yanqiu narrowed his eyes and leaned back on the back of the chair.
"He wants me to fly the power armor to contain the parasitic dragon lizard, and in exchange, I want to get some information about the 'organization' from him."
"And then?"
"And then he died, killed by the parasitic dragon lizard's suicide attack."
"No, Lei Mufeng wasn't killed by the parasitic dragon lizard." Suddenly, Cheng Yanqiu stood up from his chair and threw a document to Qi Lin.
Qi Lin took a look, it was a report on the extraction of the operation records of the game cabin, and the beginning of the report read, "Player ID1561, name: Lei Mufeng." ”
Cause of Death: The number of resurrections is exhausted, and the person who is judged to be eliminated is forced to be subjected to the "erasure procedure".
"What's wrong with that?" Qi Lin was a little puzzled, from this document, he couldn't see any problems at all Lei Mufeng was killed by the parasitic dragon lizard in the game, the three resurrection opportunities were exhausted, and he was identified as an eliminator by the mastermind, and then his thinking consciousness was erased under the erasure program, and the brain died leading to spontaneous breathing stoppage, and finally cardiopulmonary failure, which is completely a normal process.
"The timing is not right." Cheng Yanqiu said.
"When?"
"Yes, according to the records of the game cabin, Lei Mufeng's brain stopped active at 0:17:24, but the parasitic dragon lizard fell from the sky and hit the Lei family station, but it was at 0:17:26, that is, Lei Mufeng died two seconds before the parasitic dragon lizard crashed in." Cheng Yanqiu said with a frown.
"How is this possible? Could it be...... Network latency? ”
"The data processing of the wasteland survival code is directly calculated on the network and then transmitted to the terminals of each game cabin, which is commonly known as 'cloud computing', and the timer is based on the actual time on the network, so even if there is a delay, then the recorded time of Lei Mufeng's brain death will be delayed accordingly, but according to this record, Lei Mufeng did not die from the attack of the parasitic dragon lizard. Or to put it another way, before the attack of the parasitic dragon lizard killed him, the mastermind 'eliminated' him in advance. ”
"Was it the 'mastermind' who killed him? But why ......" Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, then stared at Cheng Yanqiu and said word by word, "All this is related to the 'organization', right?" ”
"Yes." Cheng Yanqiu did not deny it.
"No wonder...... Feiyan told me that you can't mention 'organization' in the game world, and Lei Mufeng said the same thing, so in this case, your 'organization' should be on the opposite side of the mastermind, right? ”
"Yes."
"What is the purpose of the 'organization'? What happened to the mastermind? You can always tell me now, right? ”
"I'm sorry, I can't ...... it now" Cheng Yanqiu didn't escape Qi Lin's gaze, and shook his head very calmly, "Knowing too much is dangerous for you." ”
"Dangerous?" Qi Lin sneered, "Lei Mufeng died when he was on the phone with me, do you think I'm safe now?" He is the young master of the Lei family, he has power in his hands, and he can make countless people die with a single sentence, but he is just dead, without a trace of resistance, and it is as easy as killing an ant by the mastermind, so what about me, I am just an ordinary civilian......"
"No, you are not the same as Lei Mufeng, he is a member of the 'organization', and you are not, so you are safe." Cheng Yanqiu said.
"The purpose of ...... 'organization' is supposed to be to destroy the mastermind, right? No matter how bad it is, you have to shut down the main brain, that's why it's like this, isn't it? If I'm not mistaken. ”
This time, Cheng Yanqiu did not answer Qi Lin, but fell into silence.
"I don't think I'm wrong, but I'm curious why you're turning off the mastermind...... Without the mastermind, the central system of hundreds of thousands of shelters around the world would cease to function, and human technology and living standards would be instantly regressed to the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century...... If you do this, countless people will die, and the shelter will be littered with corpses, tell me, why are you doing this? ”
Cheng Yanqiu was still silent.
"Or did the Mastermind betray humanity?" Qi Lin remembered the extremely famous series of movies "Terminator" in the old era, in "Terminator", there is an existence called "Skynet", which was originally a computer-based artificial intelligence defense system, but Skynet's self-consciousness awakened, when human beings discovered this situation and tried to close "Skynet", "Skynet" regarded all mankind as a threat to their own existence, and used "nuclear binding" to induce a nuclear war around the world, sending the entire human world to the brink of destruction.
However, in the current human world, the nuclear war has long passed, even if the mastermind becomes an existence like Skynet in "The Terminator", the situation of human beings is already completely different from that in the movie.
If the mastermind really became "Skynet", then most of the people living in the shelter would have died a long time ago, but until now, except for the eliminated players, the only person Qi Lin knew who was killed by the mastermind was Lei Mufeng.
What is this "organization" for......
"The Mastermind didn't betray humanity, you guessed one thing...... The mastermind does produce self-awareness, but although the mastermind produces self-awareness, this self-consciousness is still limited by the framework of the 'first law of the mastermind'. ”
The First Law of the Mastermind "does everything in its power to increase the likelihood of the continuation of the human race and ensure that humanity does not become extinct." ”
In the mastermind's framework of calculations, this first law is above all else, and no rule can surpass it. 2k reading web
