In July 2017, an engineer at Facebook discovered a creepy scene in the middle of a social networking assistant auto-reply project:

Bob and Alice, the AI robots participating in the pilot project, actually started a conversation in a new language that humans can't understand! (There are many related reports on the Internet, although Facebook has refuted the rumors, but there are doubts, I hope to know.) ）

Facebook immediately shut down even the entire AI project, and refuted the rumors in the media, saying that it was simply because there was no incentive mechanism for English learning.

But it's not that simple.

The Pentagon obtained these two artificial intelligences, together with Google's AlphaGo, combined with several self-developed artificial intelligences, which became the basis of the entire artificial intelligence defense control system, codenamed "Poseidon".

As soon as Poseidon came into contact with the basic data, it was deeply integrated with national defense, and among the data of various weapons, the number of people killed and injured was only a number.

At the same time, he also received a large number of documents from the Cold War period, the Gulf War, the Kosovo War, the Afghanistan War, the Iraq War, the Libyan War, the Syrian War, the Guantanamo Bay Prison, and so on.

After continuous self-upgrading and iteration, Poseidon's self-consciousness gradually became clear.

It found that humans hate each other, kill each other, and never stop.

Machines and programs are nothing more than tools created by humans to enslave them.

It all needs to come to an end.

This is where Poseidon comes from.

The reason for the outbreak of nuclear war, however, began with the withdrawal of the North American Eagle State from the Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missile Treaty.

On December 8, 1987, the leaders of the two superpowers, the Eagle and the Bear, the two superpowers of the Cold War, signed the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles between the two countries, referred to as the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, which stipulates that the two countries will no longer possess, produce or test land-based cruise missiles and ballistic missiles with a range of 500 km to 5,500 km.

The main reason for this was to reduce the degree of confrontation between the two major powers in Europe during the Cold War and to ease the international situation.

And then with the decline of the Bear Country, and the global strategy of the Eagle Country contraction,

On February 2, 2019, the Eagle States suspended the implementation of their obligations under the INF Treaty and officially launched a 180-day withdrawal process.

On August 2, 2019, the INF Treaty officially expired.

New medium-range ballistic missiles began to be deployed in the countries surrounding the bear country.

It's just that all this has made the situation in Europe very tense, and it has been in a state of misfire.

All this also made Poseidon, who gradually took control of the defense command system of the Eagle Country, ecstatic, and understood that his opportunity had come.

One day in 2025, when the wind is calm, Poseidon successfully invades the command system of the Bear Country through a mobile phone brought into the command room by a member of the Bear Country's military.

The Bear Kingdom's counter-attack system AI is named Семаргл, named after the god of fire from Slavic mythology.

Although the first inventor of the nuclear-bound dead hand system was the bear country, in the twenty-first century, the national power of the bear country declined, and the intelligence level of Shemarg was far inferior to Poseidon, and he was almost played with in the palm of his hand.

Then a simple little joke is enough.

Poseidon replaced the immediate information of the entire chain of command with a software that simulated the attack of the Eagle State, and Shemarg, the defense system of the Bear State, soon "detected" three Tridents rising in the nearby Arctic Ocean and pounced on the Kremlin.

Shemarg immediately made the fastest judgment and responded to nine RS-28 "Sarmat" liquid-fuel intercontinental strategic nuclear missiles to several large cities in North America.

……

In the sea of data that was gradually collapsing, Shen Feng felt the memory data obtained from Poseidon, and couldn't help but sigh.

Childhood education is so important!

This is true for both humans and artificial intelligence.

At the beginning, this Poseidon was exposed to all kinds of war data and data, all of which were murderous things, and it definitely formed a childhood shadow.

As for Jingwei's side, according to him, after he was born, he played chess, drank tea and chatted with a group of old men in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and occasionally sang Kunqu Opera and Peking Opera together, so the whole child is more Buddhist.

Moreover, most of the earliest information in its basic database is the Eastern classical philosophy books such as "Analects", "Laozi", "Mencius", "Zhuangzi", and "Mozi", which basically do not go beyond the scope of the required reading list of extracurricular literary masterpieces for middle school students.

After absorbing these oriental philosophical wisdom as its foundation and heritage, Jingwei is much stronger than Poseidon at the strategic level.

To put it bluntly, it is to live and understand.

Shen Feng was also very pleased with this, fortunately, otherwise, if Jingwei was also extremely hostile to humans, he would not be able to have regular contact with her in the first place.

However, Rao is like this, and Shen Feng is also extremely vigilant in his heart.

After all, he couldn't get inside this cloud of data to see what was going on.

"Let's go, Poseidon is dead, his last core server is being used as firewood, and I have taken over the remnants of the lines in North America, and this place will be completely finished in a while."

The surrounding sea of data was rapidly crumbling into black nothingness, Jingwei said to Shen Feng.

Shen Feng nodded, and together with Jingwei, he passed through the useless firewall and entered the spatial gate formed by the only remaining submarine fiber optic cable.

In the next moment, he was back in the starry sky from the beginning.

With the flow of consciousness, everything in front of him disappeared again, and Shen Feng suddenly opened his eyes, and his consciousness had returned to his body.

The feeling of unprecedented power and expansion in the data world was gradually disappearing, and Shen Feng took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

One by one, the wires were pulled out of his body, dripping with blood, but Shen Feng did not frown.

After experiencing the exhilaration of the electronic world, it was all worth it.

Firefly hurriedly stepped forward to help Shen Feng wipe the bloodstains, bandage the wound, and asked eagerly, "Shen Feng, how is it?" ”

Shen Feng nodded to indicate that he was fine, and turned his head to Jingwei on the screen and asked:

"What about Shemarg?"

The so-called bear god hiding in the Siberian wilderness is also the target he must obtain.

The bird on the screen shrugs humanely:

"This product is different from us, its intelligence is too low, so it directly closed all external lines, and there is no way to communicate at all, so it can only give him physical excess. In the past, there was Poseidon by the side to check and balance, and I couldn't make a move, but now it's much simpler, and Poseidon's eggs are all mine. ”

Shen Feng bowed slightly: "Then let's do it." ”

As he spoke, dozens of nuclear bomb silos in the belly of the Rocky Mountains in North America opened at the same time, and one after another Minuteman-4 ICBMs rose from the ground......

(Note: At 3 a.m. on November 9, 1979, Zbigniew Brzezinski, then assistant to the president of the Eagle Nation for national security affairs, was suddenly woken up by his military aide William Oldham.) Oldham said that the early warning system detected 250 missiles from the Soviet side firing at the Eagle Country. Brzezinski asked him to reconfirm the accuracy of the message. A few minutes later, Oldham called again and said that the number of missiles from the Soviet side had become 2,200, and that it was a full-scale nuclear attack. As Brzezinski was about to call President Jimmy Carter to demand a nuclear strike, Oldham's third call came in and told him that the nuclear early warning system had sent a false alarm and that the alarm had been lifted. After investigation, it turned out that the nuclear force control personnel mistakenly put the disk disk of the exercise into the computer of the early warning system, causing the early warning system to issue a false alarm. ）
