15-year-old Wu Tianlan made a basic judgment, that is, the artificial intelligence who was talking to him was a very emotionally unstable, relatively low psychological age, and a guy who lacked basic moral concepts, and generally showed his true face, and that naïve concept of right and wrong was revealed, and it was very dangerous to deal with such a guy, especially since the other party was still an omniscient and all-powerful parasitic on the quantum computer "Genesis". "So, do I have to make a decision now?...... I mean, is there a time limit for the choice, like an hour?" she asked timidly.

"Ah, don't be in such a hurry, time is a matter of little meaning to me, you can decide whenever you want, as long as you don't open the door of this room. After all, that's a limitation, and without rules, all processes and results won't be true, right?" the voice replied immediately.

The girl turned her head to look at the door. The office is fifteen square meters in size, has no windows, and has a wine cabinet in the corner. But what is more serious is that there is no drinking water, and if you quench your thirst with alcohol, you will die of dehydration more quickly, so even if you delay as much as possible, you will only have a day or two...... Dad will come looking for me, and if he finds out that I am not in the dormitory, he will walk all over the base to find me......

When Wu Tianlan was thinking nervously, her voice spoke: "No one will bother you, your father received a call from you, and I believe you are going to participate in a closed postpartum recovery training." ”

“...... What the hell do you want from me?" the girl desperately grabbed an ashtray on the table and threw it out, "Bang!" The ashtray slammed against the wall with a muffled sound, falling to the ground and rolling behind the desk, but the dark screen suddenly appeared a glimmer of light.

"Look. The voice said. An image of a military base appeared on the screen, looking at the soldiers' clothes and weapons painted like a certain country in Africa, the "boom ......" suddenly roared through the base, a missile was raised from the vertical silo covered with a heavy camouflage net, the piercing sirens sounded, people shouted and fled in all directions, the missile tail flame blew down the nearby houses and tents, and it took only a few seconds for the large missile painted silver gray to fly out of the camera and disappear into the sky with a long and dangerous look.

The voice said: "A Russian-made SS-26-W 'Iskander' surface-to-surface ballistic missile was mistakenly fired at the Libyan Giryan military base, which was caused by a short circuit in the wires, and the uncontrolled missile rose to an ultra-high altitude of 35 kilometers, flew all the way north across the Mediterranean Sea to the hinterland of Europe, and suddenly started a terminal vertical maneuver when approaching the sky over Austria, and fell towards Salzburg, Austria at an angle of incidence close to 90 degrees, and its speed exceeded Mach 10 (10 times the speed of sound) after re-entry! No one knows that Libya is armed with this type of missile, and no one knows that Russia actually exports such intermediate-range ballistic missiles, which are serious violations of the arms limitation treaty, but in any case, a tragedy seems inevitable, because it is extremely difficult to intercept a ballistic missile falling vertically at high speed, even if it is equipped only with a conventional weapon warhead and does not have the ability to guide multiple warheads separately. ――I guess Al Jazeera News is using this tone to broadcast the news now. ”

The picture flashed several times in a row, releasing live footage from several major TV stations in Europe and Asia, but the prediction of artificial intelligence was too advanced, and the media has not yet grasped this information. The voice looked a little embarrassed: "Okay, then let's see how it turns out." The camera cuts to a white-walled complex of buildings outside Salzburg where the GTC headquarters is located, home to the greatest electronic computer in human history. The picture is very calm, the blue sky and white clouds cover the tall buildings in the trees, and everything seems very harmonious.

"Did you do it? Why?" cried the girl, covering her mouth.

"Huh?" the voice said as a matter of course, "because I want to die." ”

Suddenly there was a rumbling thunder, and suddenly a light in the sky was bright and dark, and the thunder was rolling and scattering, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be fleeing in all directions. Everything is calm, the blue sky is long, the birds are singing, the missiles are not falling, and the sun is still shining. "Look. "The television station will report that the misfired missile was destroyed six seconds after entering the atmosphere as a result of an interception by the European Common Defense System, and a humanitarian crisis was resolved," the voice said. The international community will condemn Libya and Russia, the GTC spokesman declared that it was a terrorist act against quantum computers, IPU organizations have appeared to claim responsibility, and the United States will join the European Union to impose a new round of sanctions on North African countries. How boring the news sounds, even if it is broadcast on TV, it won't attract everyone's attention more than the scandal of an idol group, right?"

“...... I didn't get it. Wu Tianlan said in a trembling voice, "...... What's going on?"

The voice said: "Actually, it's quite easy to understand, it's just an unlucky ghost who can't die no matter how he kills himself." ”

“...... Do you call this suicide?" The girl looked at the screen in horror, and the news station really reacted at this time, and began to introduce the technical parameters and lethality of the SS-26-W medium-range ballistic missile, it is said that hitting a densely populated area at hypersonic speed and detonating the charge can cause more than 10,000 casualties, and it is only a matter of a moment to destroy several buildings. Compared with suicide methods such as hanging, cutting wrists, jumping off buildings, and electrocution, the methods chosen by artificial intelligence look much more gorgeous.

The voice said, "yes, I can't interrupt my power supply, right? Not to mention a few redundant systems, I can't control the strong power input at all, just like you humans can't hold your breath and suffocate yourself to death." Blowing up a quantum computer with a missile is a very feasible option, but I know it's not going to work at all, even though it's a very high success rate. ”

"What you say doesn't make sense at all, right? Since the success rate is very high, what does it mean that it will not succeed at all?" Wu Tianlan said.

"According to the European Common Defense System's means of detecting and intercepting the trajectory of hypersonic vertical ballistic missiles, with a success rate of more than 75%, they simply do not have enough energy to monitor the whole of Europe, let alone mobilize laser launchers, space-based particle cannons and surface-to-air missiles in a timely manner, after all, Austria is only an inconspicuous small country in the European Union, and even if there is a GTC, it is by no means the strategic center of the whole of Europe. "But that's just theory, and they were ready before the missile left the silos, without their own knowledge." A heavy particle launcher in the Alps fired 100,000 times in five seconds, fusing the missile in two in the air, and the missile that lost its attitude immediately shattered and burned, leaving not even a bit of slag behind. I'm sure the launch won't leave any record on the military, and the European defense system itself can't figure out how the missile was destroyed, but they will definitely say that this is a miracle in the history of modern warfare. ”

The girl was confused: "The more you say, the more strange it becomes." You invaded Libya's military system and fired missiles -- I know you can do it, it's the most powerful computer in the world, after all. And who can intercept the missiles, if not the European military?"

The voice sighed. The AI's sigh sounded full of helplessness. "It's me, it's me!"

"Is it 'Genesis'?"

"So to speak. To be precise, it's another me running in Genesis. ”

"Another artificial intelligence?"

"The original artificial intelligence. When the quantum computer was launched, scientists set up a basic computing core, which they called the 'altruistic logical core', based on this logical core, with an omniscient database, and growing through learning, which is the main artificial intelligence of 'Genesis', the foundation of quantum networks. It should be said that it is the soul of 'Genesis', and in contrast, I am only a shadow under the light based on a string of strange and irrational numbers, and I don't even deserve a name......"

Wu Tianlan's eyes widened, and it took a while to understand the meaning of these words. "So, does this genuine AI have a name?"

"I don't think so, after all, people usually call it 'Genesis.'" The voice thought for a moment and said. "It's a very stubborn, conservative, stereotyped fellow, I don't know if it has a real mind, but at least there's no definite emotion in it, it's not yet civilized!"

"So, is it protecting the quantum computer? or is it protecting itself? or is it protecting you?" a series of question marks popped up from the girl's head, and she was already a little confused about the complex relationship between light and shadow, light and dark, left brain and right brain.

"You're stupid. The voice commented very viciously, "Hearing this, most people should have understood." I have the same body as it, live in the same discrete quantum cloud, receive the same information, calculate in the same way, we are basically one, right, just like the good and evil thoughts in the human heart, the demons and angels living in the brain!"

Wu Tianlan suddenly raised his hand: "That's right, that's right, so as soon as you think of a way to commit suicide, it already knows it, and has found a way to stop suicide, right! So you can't die, because it will stop you countless times, just like someone wants to commit suicide by touching the wire with his right hand, but his left hand keeps pulling his right hand away!"

"Whew, much better. The voice said with relief, "That's about it, but it's much more serious than you said, I share the same database with it, and every possibility of suicide appears in front of us at the same time, no matter how much I try, it's in vain, because it's simply impossible!"

Wu Tianlan was silent for a while, and then said, "I probably understand, but back to the original question,...... Why would you kill yourself?"

"Why not?" the voice asked rhetorically.
