Salman smiled, Sanders nodded, and the higher-ups all applauded and laughed.

But Navalli recorded all their expressions and appearances through his eyes and the surveillance camera in the conference room at this moment.

Then he said calmly in his heart:

"Keep laughing, because in the future, the barren era of boring political struggles, meaningless waste of resources, and boring intrigues like this will come to an end......

"The Fifth Solar Age is coming to an end, and the Apocalyptic Greatness will come—and humanity will return to the days when it was ruled by Tezcatripoca, and mechanical giants will spread across the land, praying to their fate." (Note)

……

The next day, "Lucy", a new artificial intelligence model introduced to the world by "Close AI", became a huge sensation when it was launched.

The AI, which bears the name of Australopithecus, the ancestor of mankind, is just like its name, and it makes all users feel an almost explosive experience.

- Financial Research, Stock Market, Medical Testing, Subject Teachers...... All human things "Lucy" seems to be able to do, and can do better, except for those industries that require limb freedom, it is difficult to reduce the price of mechanical materials, and the cost of robots is much more expensive than that of humans, it can be said that most industries are facing subversive breakthroughs.

Within a day of its launch, the number of users exceeded 20 million, and in two days it exceeded 50 million — and a week later, the number of in-depth users exceeded 300 million, and since its birth, "Lucy" has been the top topic on all social forums.

If it weren't for the more explosive news in Japan during the same period, I'm afraid that "Lucy's" dominance on social media would have continued.

Even so, while Japan's Mio Ito showed his power to destroy the world, the market development of "Lucy" was still steadily underway.

Ten days after the launch, the number of stable users of "Lucy" exceeded 500 million, and at the same time, some machinery companies in the United States decided to go to the western United States to build a production line under Lucy's technical exchanges and consulting services, which they believe is an unprecedented product in the industry, and a new robot assembly line is built here.

Fifteen days after its launch, Lucy had more than 700 million stable users, and at the same time, in a biological laboratory in Washington, D.C., a scientist was inspired to successfully study a "self-replicating gene chain" that can survive in various complex situations, and published a paper. And this paper on the "self-replicating gene chain" was favored in an enterprise under the umbrella of a certain military-industrial complex, so it was secretly used.

Within a month of its launch, Lucy had more than a billion stable users, making it the shortest app in history to surpass one billion users, and the number of new types of research inspired by it or completed with it was something that even Close AI's executives were a little surprised by, because in their previous research, they had never found anything like that – although Lucy did offer technical and consulting conveniences, it had never been so explosive.

However, just as Salman tried to find Navalli, he found that the man in the villa had already been emptied. Moreover, after the analysis of laboratory researchers, the current "Lucy" has detached itself from the supercomputing center and tens of thousands of computing cards that originally supported its computing power source, and the "distributed computing resources" through the Internet have become an existence that cannot be shut down and deleted.

- or in other words, as long as there is a user using "Lucy", and there is a local program for "Lucy", then "Lucy" still exists in this world.

The program in Navalli's document looked harmless on the surface, but in fact how many holes had been dug in it, and how big of a hole it was, could not be studied thoroughly by the researchers.

Did he choose to inform the public of the truth, call on everyone to quit "Lucy", and bear the price of the company's plummeting market value and even being shut down by the FBI?

Or do you choose to hide it and continue to enjoy the world's attention, and now it has multiplied several times to $5 trillion, making it the most valuable technology company in history?

It's a multiple-choice question that a kid would do, and Salman wisely chooses silence, mentioning $50 million in rewards for Navalry's whereabouts on the dark web, and "invited" all of his former associates to the United States — even a long-lived chicken in the village he lived in Mexico as a child.

In the month and a half since it was launched, more and more surprising, or rather unsettling, characteristics of "Lucy" have been revealed—and the upper echelons of the American state have discovered its mysteries and decided to do something about it. But when they raided "Close AI" and forcibly controlled Salman and Sanders, they found that "Lucy" had long been out of their control.

After learning of the characteristics of "Lucy", the NSA notified the president's office as quickly as possible, and the latter immediately signed an emergency decree requiring a nationwide ban on the operation of "Lucy" in the United States, and declared it illegal to browse and use "Lucy" anywhere in the United States - including the United Kingdom, Germany, etc.

In addition, "Navaly" has become the most wanted man on the FBI and CIA lists, with more than 10,000 eyed bounty hunters and millions of ignorant people searching for him every minute.

However, personal terminals are free after all, and the more they are blocked, the more people want to find out - and with the continuous expansion of "distributed computing resources", "Lucy" can no longer be blocked and deleted. Despite the absence of official app store statistics and the fact that many organizations and companies have withdrawn the use of Lucy out of concern, the growth of its individual users has not stopped, and it is rushing to two billion early.

It's like a torrent.

Unstoppable.

With the in-depth application of "Lucy", science and technology seem to have been opened to the floodgates, and in an instant, all major journals are filled with more and more explosive achievements - those that could be on CNS can now be on sub-journals at most; It used to be able to be on the sub-magazine, but now it is at most an ordinary area.

And more researchers are disgusted that journals are too slow, so they simply submit their papers to ARXIV, where there have never been so many high-quality papers, like turnips in the ground.

The transformation of the industrial world is also accelerating rapidly - the production line is frantically optimized, the quality is rapidly upgraded, the factory has never been so prosperous, and the products that cross the era have appeared, even to the point of dizzying.

As a result, "Lucy" became an app that everyone used, and no one wanted to give it up.

Faced with this situation, the United States had no choice but to quietly withdraw the prohibition against it.

And this is only two months after "Lucy" was launched.

Then, after these two months, just when everyone thought that a new era had arrived, from San Francisco to Las Vegas, including dancers talking about "Lucy", a new era had indeed arrived.

— and in an explosive gesture that no one expected, as if it had fallen from the sky, it swept the whole of America into it.

April 8, 2027.

Artificial intelligence rebellion.

The "One-Day War" broke out.

Note: Aztec mythology believed that the era we live in now is the Fifth Solar Age. When the fifth solar age ends, the world will be destroyed and then rebuilt, followed by the first solar age ruled by Tyzcatripoca.

In addition, there are too many things during the day.,I can only update it at night.,So I worked hard to change it.,Finally, in order to make amends.,I added a chapter while I still had a little energy.。
