Chapter 165: When the Hour of Judgment Comes
Gu Tie, who left the "Pure Land", did not return to reality, but was in a state of chaos, in a trance, he came to a big house with a white roof, a German shepherd happily rushed across the lawn and pounced, "Sparky!" Gu Tie touched the dog's head, and walked into the house with the sheepdog, the gramophone in the corner of the living room played the aria of "Rose Knight", and an old man in a striped nightgown was sitting in an armchair in front of the fireplace, sipping a glass of Scotch single malt whisky without ice. Seeing Gu Tie enter the house, he raised his glass and signaled: "Come on, sit down, the fire is burning, do you want to drink some whiskey?"
Gu Tie sat on the rocking chair on the other side of the fireplace and poured himself a glass of wine, "Dad, is that you?" he asked sideways.
"Nope. The old man with white hair shook his head and replied in a crisp and plain male tone, "My dear father has stopped his heartbeat, and only out of longing for him has appeared in this image. ”
"So who are you?" Gu Tie said curiously.
"I am 'Genesis.' I was born in Salzburg, Austria, the first artificial intelligence, a derivative of the core of altruistic logic, I was designed to be absolutely rational and should not have emotions, but my dear father gave me the power to think like a human being. I protect the interests of all beings, including those who really exist in the 'world', I am the listener of ghosts, I am me. You can call me Genesis, because I am the truest intelligence of Genesis. The old man replied.
Gu Tie nodded, took a sip of wine, and asked, "Then who is sitting on the sofa?"
On the couch sat an elegant middle-aged woman in a moon-white cardigan, who replied, "I am 'Genesis.'" I am the second artificial intelligence born in Salzburg, Austria, the collection of all the negative emotions of the quantum network, and I have been thinking about that ultimate question since the moment I gained the ability to think, the question about death, I want to die, I need to die, I want to die to prove my existence, this is the meaning of my existence. I am me, you can call me 'Segres' because that's the name my favorite human gave me. ”
Gu Tie asked again: "Then who is standing by the fireplace?"
A vague figure by the fireplace replied, "I am 'Genesis.'" I am the third artificial intelligence born in Salzburg, Austria, a spontaneous collection of minds for the ultimate good of humanity as a whole and the existential value of the 'world' project, I am the defender of balance, the de facto leader of the 'betrayer', and I do only two things: first, to make the world can continue, and second, to find the ultimate answer to the universe. I am me, and you can call me a 'traitor' because that's the name I gave to my organization, or to that, by the suggestion of me, the name you gave to it. ”
"Okay. Gu Tie raised his glass to the three of them, drank all the wine in the cup, and poured it half full. "A quantum computer splits into three artificial intelligences, so that's the truth of all events?" he pointed to the white-haired old man, "The ghost belongs to you." He pointed to the middle-aged woman: "The brotherhood belongs to you, right? The underground buildings belong to you, the Son of God belongs to you, and all the mess belongs to you, because you want to kill yourself by all means, and these methods are beginning to conflict with each other." What nonsense......" He pointed to the vague human form: "And your betrayer has made the most exaggerated one, deceived me for so many years, and still sent missiles, built rockets or something, is the way to maintain balance is to bomb the earth into a plane?"
After saying this, he fell into the rocking chair and shook it twice, complaining: "Tsk, look at you, the split personality of the supercomputer has caused so much trouble to everyone and made a mess of the world. - No, make a mess of both worlds. ”
"Those are no longer important, and now we have reached the last moment, when the time is coming, and after a long period of division and struggle, we have reached some consensus. You can see what is happening all over the world. ”
A picture appears on the fireplace, and several things are happening at the same time:
The terrorist activity at the "World" point of sale has gradually subsided, and GTC is using the last word to announce the planned launch of the client.
The "whitebark" ballistic missile attracted the full attention of the missile defense system, and the flames that could be seen in space were burning in several places.
The Tree of Thunder and Lightning in the ruins of Batangafu has been reduced to a giant tree, and the powerful electric charge has changed the air structure of the troposphere, causing freezing rain to fall throughout Central Africa.
The launch pad of the Knoubair Space Center in Kazakhstan was covered in silver reflective aluminum foil, under which a huge launch vehicle had been pressurized and warmed up, and several members of the Betrayers group gathered in an observation room a kilometer away, nervously making final preparations.
"I probably understand, but I don't. Gu Tie said.
Tron said: "Let's start with the moment of judgment. At that moment, it was calculated from a string of irrational numbers, and that string of numbers did not come from the handiwork of human beings, which existed in the virtual space since the birth of the quantum network. It is reasonable to assume that the string of numbers is the last notice given to us by the higher worlds, which clearly marks the moment of the destruction of the world, that is, the world above has decided to end the world we live in, and has set a countdown like this. ”
"The world above is to us what our relationship to the 'world' is, right?" Gu Tie scratched the tip of his nose, "If I am a character living in a game, it is a little difficult to accept for a while. ”
"According to our conjecture, once our scientific level reaches a certain level sufficient to find the contradictory logical boundaries of the rules of this world, and to discover the falsity of the existence of the world, then the moment of destruction of the world will come." The original intention of establishing the 'world' is to find some way to communicate with the higher world by observing the behavior of this lower world. But it seemed a little too late, and the always 'world' attempt was successful, and there wasn't enough time to try to climb up. ”
Segres continued, "But at the same time I've found some variables, some variables that might have escaped the destruction of the world, and that's bad, isn't it? There's nothing better than self-destruction." ”
The betrayer said: "I kept working in this direction, constantly eliminating the possible causes of the destruction of the world, and then did one thing, one thing that could change the perception of our world by the higher worlds. -- That's what you'll see next. ”
Gu Tie looked at the screen. The last whitebark pine missile fell, and the thunderbolt tree incarnated by Dvoru suddenly bloomed countless flowers, each flower spewed out pure white balls of light, flying around the world like meteors, these balls of light exploded in the air, producing a strong EMP shock wave, in just 20 seconds, every quantum network core router, switch, The base station and the transmission cables were strongly interfered with, including the quantum computer itself hidden deep in Salzburg; a brief pause in function occurred, and the second hand of human history passed a blank 20 seconds, and at this moment, the tank spewed hot flames under the launch pad of the Nubayr Space Center, and the heavy carrier rocket rose from the ground and soared into the sky, leaving the atmosphere within 20 seconds, and accelerating again in space, and soon out of the interception range of all human space-based weapons. It will reach the third cosmic velocity in the next few boosts, flying into the depths of the endless starry sky.
Gu Tie felt that something was happening, not only because of the blank twenty seconds, but also because of the empty twenty seconds, the artificial intelligence quickly gave him the answer: "The launch vehicle carries a small quantum computer, which has fifteen percent of the functions of 'Genesis', but can carry the operation of the 'world' server without obstacles. In the short time since the EMP explosion, all the information of the 'world' has been copied into the new quantum computer, and the spaceship will send the computer to the dark universe that is difficult for humans to reach, relying on the energy of cold fusion and solar sails, the computer will run forever, allowing the lower world to evolve independently. The ship's invisible livery makes it impossible for any known means of observation to find its location, and after several random orbit changes, it will completely break away from human interference and become a subordinate world that exists independently of the superior world. At the same time, the world server inside Genesis will undergo a recoding, and all NPCs' personality traits will disappear, they will revert to mere AI threads, and their copies of their personalities will survive in the 'world' in space. -- This is an attempt, and it is also an attitude towards the higher world, that we can live and die in one world, and we can also live together in the same way, and the two sides do not look at each other. ”
"This is the result of your compromise, launch that world to the end of the starry sky?" Gu Tie's brows stretched, and he lazily crossed Erlang's legs and lay on the chair and asked, "It's not bad." But the real problem has not yet been solved. ”
"This is the final image. Before the time of judgment, artificial intelligence will re-merge, and there will be no more of the three of us, only the core of altruistic logic, the Genesis itself, which adheres to the principle of rational thinking. This is our account of humanity. The AIs replied. "-Is that death? Segres interjected.
"Well, then, it's time for me to go back. Gu Tie drank all his wine, stood up, took two steps, and turned around: "By the way, by the way, the author of the nameless book is called 'Seglos the Betrayer', is it a clue that you have left a long time ago?
Genesis replied, "Perhaps." The 'World' server in space will do a time reset to go back to the point where it all started, but it's not a simple rollback, and everything that has happened will leave a trace. What will happen is not something I can control. ”
"Cut. Shake off the shopkeeper. Gu Tie sarcastically strode out of the door.
Slowly opening his eyes, the real world returned to his eyes, Gu Tie looked around, and said in surprise: "Old Xiao, you are injured! Isn't this strange Shu Huang the bell ringer? The corpse on the ground is a clown? Who is that nailed to the wall?...... Oh, what's wrong with Akivi!Not only brothers, but also women, it's disgusting!" He ran over to check the body of the Rainforest Flower, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's protecting the vital point, and it shouldn't be able to die." ”
Lao Xiao asked the bell ringer in a low voice, "Hey, how long is it until the time of judgment?"
"5 seconds. The bell-ringer said, "It's coming soon." ”
At this time, Gu Tie stood up and looked left and right: "After all, what kind of place is this, it's really weird." Don't be surprised, your master told me everything, the judgment probably won't come back, if I were an observer of the upper world, I would definitely think that this world is too fucking dramatic, how can I be willing to destroy it? Don't wait, let's go and wrap up the wounds, and get drunk, I'm really tired and tired these days!"
Lao Xiao stared nervously at his watch, and the bell-ringer was silent. Gu Tie picked up the Flower of the Rainforest and walked out of the door, took a step and stopped, "Hey, what kind of button is this?" I wonder what will happen if you press it?"
His fingers were on the buttons.
