545、NO-FATE

Who's Afraid of Mechanized Exoskeletons?

Who's pushing for AI?

Will the chaos that Cybertin once caused to the Ministry of Defense reappear?

Did AI really go all the way to a world war?

Is the safety of human beings handed over to robots, or to human beings themselves?

In the days following the little-known war in Los Angeles, a series of eye-catching headlines appeared on the front pages of major newspapers, with various media outlets reporting from different angles and asking a terrifying question: Is there a mastermind behind the scenes who wants to bring artificial intelligence to the forefront?

Since 1994, when Cybertin's system nearly took control of the Defense Department's computers and launched a nuclear war, the term artificial intelligence has quietly taken over a part of human life. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although we have not yet been able to achieve real artificial intelligence, the concept has long been deeply embedded in all aspects of people's lives.

It seems that someone is trying to make people forget the chaos caused by Cybertin and hope to bring artificial intelligence to everyone's life. Finally, this point detonated.

John Connor, one of the founders of the newly formed Raider Group, was assassinated in a surprise attack, and then the research center was attacked by an unknown group of militants, but it was this company that had just come up with the concept of a mechanized exoskeleton to replace the previously popular idea of robot soldiers.

This incident, coupled with the overwhelming public opinion, immediately made the US government pay attention, and after secretly interrogating the captured Kosmos soldiers, a mysterious organization surfaced - the Kosmos, a cult that worships artificial intelligence, and seems to have no small power.

But the organization was so deeply hidden, and after the U.S. government took out a few small assembly bases, the organization's clues were broken. Moreover, the U.S. government still has illusions about the role of artificial intelligence, so it can only classify this organization as a cult and declare it illegal, and there is no further action.

However, with the help of this wave of momentum, the Raider Group of Companies and ZEIRA, which produce mechanized exoskeletons, began to develop rapidly, and the two companies competed with each other, won several large orders from the Ministry of Defense, and launched export models to start exporting to other countries.

This kind of epoch-making equipment that can allow an ordinary soldier to have a weight capacity of 200 kg in an instant, and is completely a humanoid tank after mounting armor, and is not bulky, and can continue to run for more than 12 hours at a speed of 20~30 kilometers per hour, and has instantly become the darling of the international arms market.

Other countries have also followed suit and begun to develop their own mechanized exoskeletons, and among these followers, Guardian Heavy Industries, a subsidiary of the Guardian Group from Huaxia, has come to the front. They have also launched their own mechanized exoskeleton products with excellent performance in Huaxia, which has formed a competitive relationship with the United States in the international market.

However, in the United States, a down-and-out reporter named Blair from ABC Radio suddenly published a large number of revelations!

ZEIRA's beautiful president, Katherine Weaver, is a robot!!

Blair used a large number of candid photographs, as well as interviews with ZEIRA insiders, as well as interviews with Katherine Weaver's neighbors, to prove that the beautiful president had behaved bizarrely since her husband died in a plane crash in 1993, and ruled out the possibility that her husband's death caused the personality change.

This revelation immediately made this social public opinion, which was already very sensitive to artificial intelligence, suddenly explode! ZEIRA and Catherine were immediately surrounded by countless journalists and media!

Things finally came out of nowhere when Blair suddenly ran out and threw a watermelon knife at Catherine to reach its peak! Catherine was immediately slashed and bleeding, and Blair was taken away by the police.

Catherine seems to have been devastated afterwards, and after leaving a suicide note, she committed suicide by jumping into the sea from the Golden Gate Bridge, and her body has not been found. Her four-year-old daughter, Savannah, was adopted by John Connor of the Raiders Group after relinquishing the inheritance of the property in accordance with her will.

Then the two CEOs who succeeded ZEIRA were unable to lead the company further, and finally it was acquired by Raytheon, and ZEIRA was buried in the yellow sand of history from then on.

Pentagon, Arlington County, Virginia, USA.

Two men in black suits walked into the office carrying a metal briefcase, and the handcuffed handle was firmly cuffed to the briefcase on the wrists of the person carrying the briefcase.

The two came to a heavily guarded corridor, and after many inspections, the two black suits walked to the elevator at the end of the corridor and went directly to the underground.

In a laboratory underground, several men in military uniforms were waiting.

The black suit immediately gave a standard military salute to the people inside, then untied the handcuffs and handed over the briefcase. An officer walked over, typed in the code, and opened the briefcase, which was filled with a watermelon knife and several test tubes.

"Blood samples and DNA have been taken from the watermelon knife that Blair slashed at Katherine Weaver, and it has been concluded that the blood is 99.7 percent similar to her daughter, Savannah Weaver." A black suit reported.

"Even if she is Catherine's daughter, there is no way to have such a high degree of resemblance!" Said a slightly older officer.

"If it's all her daughter's blood, then what's the 0.03% difference?" A young officer asked.

"It's fluorocarbons. In 1966, Chinese scientists proposed the possibility of replacing blood with this substance, and published relevant papers. The black suit replied.

"That is, this is artificial blood......" one officer mused.

"It seems that the ABC TV reporter reported something that was not groundless." The old officer touched his beard and continued, "So, has you found that strange woman in San Francisco before?" ”

"Found out, she killed dozens of police officers, later offered to surrender to us, and she has been secretly placed in custody." The black suit pointed to a stack of photos inside the briefcase.

The old officer pulled out the pictures and looked at them one by one. If Tang Yu was here, he would be surprised to find that these were photos of Leily Valencia, that is, Blood Rose!!

The officer nodded and said, "Well, the project is up to you, Captain Robert Brewster." ”

The young officer immediately stood up and saluted, and replied loudly: "Yes!!" ”

Los Angeles National Cemetery, Los Angeles, USA, 1997.

A man in a black trench coat stood in front of an inconspicuous tombstone, with a cloak covering most of his face and black gloves on his hands.

The man took a bouquet of white flowers, gently placed it on the tombstone, and reached out to wipe it on the tombstone, which read:

Sarah Connor, 1959~1997

NO-FATE-BUT-WHAT-WE-MAKE

(Fate is not predestined, we need to create it ourselves)

He stood in front of the tombstone for a long time, until his body seemed to twitch uncontrollably, and some fine black sand leaked out of his clothes. Then, silently, he turned and left.
