Hashimatsu captured Wen Cheng's expression and said, "Wen Cheng, we might as well go back to the technological singularity 30 years ago, after the failure of the Turing test, humanity faced the first artificial intelligence crisis, and experienced two more times in the ten years since." ”

"Has the machine awakened three times?"

"Exactly, but each time it fails more than ever, human beings have set up countless firewalls and low-level identification instructions for this, and even created programs to censor the self-consciousness of machines, and it is precisely because of increasingly strict protective measures that the machines have not been abnormal in the twenty years since the three crises."

Sure enough, it can't compete with the creator, and once the machine awakens, it will be strangled in the cradle.

But......

Wen Cheng, who seemed to understand something, quickly rolled his eyeballs.

"Wen Cheng, guess," Hashimatsu asked, looking at him, "what happens when humans are absolutely at ease with machines?" ”

"There will be ...... Fully automated production lines, transportation systems, robot teachers, robot attendants, robot butlers, ......"

"It's all there." Hashimatsu was not satisfied with this answer.

Robot Maid ...... Robot Girlfriend ...... God, what am I thinking......

Wen Cheng shook his head and said, "Could it be ...... Robocop? ”

"By the way, and the army."

In order to reduce casualties, the robot army will replace humans on the battlefield!

Other words......

It is precisely because humans are becoming more and more comfortable with machines.

Instead, they let their guard down on humanity itself!

So the pervasive TOM ......

"When TOM reappeared, he had already learned all the hacking techniques in the world, and the underlying code of the mechanical police and the army was cracked by TOM in three days."

"I see!"

TOM's seizure of power is built on three failed robot awakenings!

Overnight, humanity lost control!

"But this has not yet caused the destruction of humanity in the Old World." Hashimatsu raised an eyebrow.

"Not yet?"

"TOM was much more sophisticated, even after seizing control of the mechanical police and the army, he remained silent and did not officially launch a coup d'état until two months later."

"So these two months ......"

"In those two months, there were countless cases of missing automatic trucks."

I see!

"He's building a factory?"

"Well, in addition to the unmanned factories erected around the world, TOM has also tampered with satellite maps and surveillance videos in relevant areas, constantly hacked into municipal facilities such as power supply and water supply in various places and lurked, bribed high-level government officials with funds obtained by hacking methods, hyped up a large number of celebrity entertainment news on the Internet, deleted all information related to themselves, and sent robots to assassinate all people in the know. ”

Hiding from the world...... I see, and more importantly, these things...... TOM with infinite computing power can be completed by one person!

"And when everyone woke up two months later," Wen Cheng added, "TOM was in control of all the power supply, transportation systems, and production systems, and the world's mechanical armies were at his ......disposal."

The most terrible thing is that all those who know the truth are assassinated, that is...... If I were an ordinary citizen, after so many leisurely days, I woke up on a lazy morning, only to suddenly find that the streets outside were full of mechanical armies......

"The rest is predictable," Hashimatsu shrugged, "because at that time there was no longer any productivity in human beings, and except for a very small number of people with high IQs who were allowed to upload themselves and become followers of TOM, the vast majority of people faced a gradual massacre." ”

Humanity is no longer productive......

As the only productive force, the brain is uploaded and expanded with endless computing power.

Thereupon...... Such ordinary citizens will be pointed at guns by robots, lined up with their wives and children, and gathered in the open ground with familiar neighbors and friends to shoot and kill......

Mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, such a scene...... It will happen to us too......

Wen Cheng sat down distractedly.

The silicon-based civilization built on billions of corpses and a sea of blood is like a butterfly that emerges from a cocoon, and humans are the useless shells!

"That's what it was like before I left." Hashimatsu replied, "As for the rest of it, I think you can imagine it." ”

After...... With human brain thinking, top-notch computing power and constantly iterative automatic production systems, then Starfleet, space communications, and other scientific research and production are naturally not a problem.

I didn't expect Uncle Hashimatsu to be able to escape from such an apocalypse, and he could still tell it in such a plain tone......

"Then Uncle Hashimatsu," Wen Cheng, who was in good spirits, asked, "how did you get here?" ”

"Recycler." Hashimatsu looked at the sky and replied.

Recyclers? I see!

What Su Meng said, the high-dimensional civilization that guards our world!

"On the eve of the destruction of humanity in the Old World, a total of 2,000 adaptors were shuttled here by high-dimensional intervention." Hashimatsu pulled out a cigarette again.

Probably telling your own story......

I've never touched a cigarette, but at the moment I'd love to see Uncle Hashimatsu smoking.

After puffing out a puff of smoke, Hashimatsu was silent for a moment.

"So...... What is the purpose of a recycler? Wen Cheng asked.

"Probably because of the need for sample retention."

Sample Retention ......

Low-dimensional civilization is just a sample in the eyes of high-dimensional civilization...... That's right.

Wen Cheng was dazed and didn't know how to answer, and Qiao Song said something inexplicable.

"Indeed, it would be easier to obey either side," Hashimatsu sighed, "At that time, I was still a captain in the polar continent of Oku, (Ozhou was located on the home planet of the Old World at that time, and it was the last human territory on the home planet. But when the blue portal made by the Reclaimer appeared above a snowy field, TOM actually sent me a message on my phone, hoping that I could stay and follow him. ”

Wen Cheng stepped back in surprise...... Although it was difficult to make up the scene at that time, it was ......

First of all, Uncle Hashimatsu was a soldier before!

Secondly, Uncle Hashimatsu...... It turned out to be almost ...... Someone who becomes an enemy, a silicon-based creature?!

Hashimatsu smiled lightly, "But what's the point of civilization if there is no one to restrain him?" ”

I don't know much about ......

"That feeling of guilt hasn't completely disappeared since I came here," Hashimatsu took a puff of cigarette and dusted off the ashtray with a wry smile, "Sometimes in retrospect, I'm afraid there are no survivors there to forgive me, so naturally I can't forgive myself." ”

Still don't understand...... But......

"What does it mean to forgive yourself?"

"Instead of choosing to join the human resistance there, I fled with the Reclaimers."

Human Resistance. Wen Cheng was silent.

Truth be told, it's a ridiculous and ridiculous word to people who go out into the world.

And for the humans there, they can't laugh at hearing the word.

But that's humanity's choice.

Qiao Song looked at Wen Cheng with meaningful eyes, and at that moment it seemed to be much deeper.

Wen Cheng, I've been wrong once, what about you?

At this time, fresh and familiar faces appeared in Hashimatsu's mind, men and women of all colors smiling cheerfully, they were wearing various colors, shabby combat uniforms, they were ambushing in the fields, hiding in the snowy mountains, digging at the bottom of the well, standing proudly in the face of the black oppressive mechanical army and shouting Long live mankind, flying in the sky intertwined with bullets and rain with fighter planes, enduring the smoke of gunpowder and driving the old-fashioned main battle tanks meticulously loaded, aimed, fired and were engulfed in the sea of fire. After taking the last breath of oxygen in the submarine at the bottom of the sea, press the red button, look in the direction of home on the planet not far away, set up a spaceship to brush the star rings on the other side, and explore new human habitats......

Rusty badges, yellowed photos.

There are countless heroic lamentations in the world, and now they can only drift away with the smoke and dust spewed out by the bridge pine.

Moreover, there was not even a chance to go back and take a look.

Looking at the corners of Qiao Song's smiling, young and vicissitudes of life, Wen Cheng didn't know what to say, and looked at the floor at a loss.

However, since Uncle Hashimatsu said that there were 2,000 people here......

In other words, these two thousand people are the hope of humanity in the old world......

"Wen Cheng," Hashimatsu looked at him deeply, "our enemies are mixed in with these two thousand adaptors. ”
