Behind Section VII

"It's 'lip language', and I can't hear it, but I can tell what they're saying by the way they talk about it. Carrie replied.

It was the first time that Ashrufat had learned that Carrie still had this kind of ability. Since being by Ylang and the Rat God, Carrie seems to have gained a lot of ability. It's just that for some reason, Ashrufat felt that this made him a little uneasy.

"We still have a lot of work to do before the war starts. Carrie urged in her mind. "You have to hurry, organize your armaments, scout the enemy's vulnerabilities, and find a suitable position to attack!"

......

At this time, it was getting late, and there was a faint light in the corner of the wall, which made the room very dim.

There was a slight but clear knock on the door.

"Come in. The door is not locked. With this voice, a young man who looked to be only about seventeen or eighteen years old walked in from outside. The young man was dressed in a very strange garment, unique in both fabric and cut, enough to amaze any tailor in the Anthropocene. If the tailors could take off this dress and study it carefully, they would probably be amazed, "I guess it can be cut this way."

In the room was the gray and white cloak. He glanced back at the young man who had entered the door, and immediately turned his gaze back.

"Why didn't you lock the door?" asked the young man with a smile.

"I'm not the master here, so why lock the door?" replied the head of the gray cloak without replying. "The owner of this room is Ylang - although she will never come back. ”

Neither of them spoke anymore, instead looking at the video that was playing in the room—in the middle of the room, a shadow was reflected in the air, and it was the scene of snow falling near the ancient portal of Nagarus. Above the snow, Ashruphat and Ylan are engaged in the last battle. As the young man began to look at it, the phantom was in the last scene, and Ashrufat pierced Ylang from the front with a sword.

"You haven't been out for days, have you been watching this repeatedly?"

"Hmm. The gray cloak replied. In the frame, Ylan's hand begins to caress Ashrufat's head. The gray cloak stopped the picture, then picked up a picture.

"Oh, what are you studying?"

"The specific place of artificial intelligence in his brain. The gray cloak replied coldly. "Artificial intelligence consists of four parts: the core chip, the personality control device, the database chip, and the small energy storage device, so I have to determine which part of Ylang should be shut down in the last blow. ”

"Ylan-elang's plan is good, but it's too risky. The young man shook his head. "What is right in theory is not necessarily possible in practice. ”

The gray cloak stopped what he was doing, suddenly turned his head, and looked at the other party with a fierce gaze.

"There are logic bombs on artificial intelligence, this is confirmed. After a long time, the gray cloak withdrew his gaze. "Based on the last contact, the logic bomb should be set up as 'the carrier cannot protect the artificial intelligence'. As soon as this happens, the bomb will explode. However, Qin Xin has a good eye and chooses a candidate who is extremely difficult to compromise and cannot be convinced. In other words, under normal circumstances, any attempt to turn off AI is futile. If the distance is far away, not only will it not be useful, but it will also make the other party more vigilant. If you are close, you will detonate a bomb yourself...... It's still the powerful one. Qin Xin must have prepared a powerful explosion so that he could bring the perpetrator to the funeral as much as possible. ”

"But there is one exception. The young man took the gray cloak. "That is 'a dying counterattack when the enemy is doomed'. In this case, the AI can be sure that it will not fall into the hands of the enemy, so it will not set off a bomb even if it is forced to turn off by an external force. Ylan is a genius and has found a weakness that is not a weakness. Her reasoning is reasonable, and we all agree with it. But to take advantage of this logical blind spot is to let one of us die. ”

"So Ylang made this sacrifice. The gray cloak replied.

"It's not a question of who made the sacrifice. It's about whether the sacrifice is worthwhile. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"What I want to say is that the 'dying counterattack' is uncontrollable. We all know what death is, and in a near-death state, it's hard to do what you do. Fear, nervousness, pain, agitation...... Under the influence of these emotions, even simple things can become difficult. Even Ylan-Ylang, whom I admire and respect for all I repeat, may not be able to do what is expected in that state. Did Ylan-Ylang really activate the vibrator? Did she align it in the right place? Did she have a problem with her control?"

"If it's flesh and blood, it's really hard. But you know, at that time, Yilan was no longer flesh and blood. The gray cloak replied. "There's a record of her last maintenance on a mechanical body. You can check it out. ”

"Oh......"

"She made subtle adjustments to her body and artificially cut off a lot of neural links. In fact, she didn't feel any damage to her body, and she didn't have the usual sense of pain. As long as she does not have a great fear of death, then she will not feel nervous at the end of the day, and she will definitely be able to complete her plan well. The gray cloak replied, "Look at this." At the end of the day, Yilan still carried out zero-distance biological scanning first, carefully conveying the information of artificial intelligence. ”

"But...... When a mechanical body is destroyed...... It's uncontrollable. ”

"This is the physical data of Ylang Ylang in the most advanced stage. The gray cloak took a document out of his pocket and handed it to the other party. "Look at this, it's clear. Ylang's mechanical body is relatively intact at its peak, except for the explosion caused by the breakdown of the energy system, all other parts are operating normally. Believe me, Ylang takes this matter more seriously than anything else. It's not that she wants to kill herself because she's depressed and hopeless, it's that she's already thought about everything. ”

"I know that our construction work is not going fast enough, and there is a shortage of manpower everywhere. The gray cloak continued. "I know what you're worried about. I didn't become stubborn because of my friend's death, and I wasn't trying in vain to find peace of mind, but Ylan-Ylang did have a lot of hope for success in her work. We can't give up at the last moment after so much effort and so much preparation. ”

"But you have to think about one thing. "For a long time, the young man said. "The fact that the runaway portal was activated was unexpected. It is likely that Ashrufat was teleported into space, or he may have fallen directly into the Earth's core and turned to ashes. Of course, it is also possible to get stuck in an underground cavity that requires hundreds of kilometers of tunnels to be drilled. ”

"I'm sure the Scarlet Duke Esslufate will reappear. Let's just be patient. The gray cloak replied. "This matter, Yilan once talked about. We won't be waiting too long. ”

"She even expected this?"

"It wasn't that I expected this, but I was talking to her about what happened if the mechanical body exploded. It is important to know that the concentrated release of high energy at close range may break down the protective force field...... It is also possible for the K6 Energy Field Armor to occur when the energy supply is insufficient. Of course, I was trying to convince her not to die. ”

"What did she say?"

She said not to worry about this kind of thing, because it was absolutely impossible for the Scarlet Duke to die in such a situation. ”

"Why?"

"There is no reason. If I have to say why, she says, it's a woman's instinct. ”

"Women's Intuition ......"

"Look at this," the gray cloak controlled the image of the virtual image, just as Ylang said "Turn it off for me, artificial intelligence." In this sentence, on the screen, you can clearly see that her right hand emits a faint blue light. "From this point of view, the target of the vibrator is exactly the head of Eshurufat. If I'm not mistaken, AI should be turned off. ”

"But we don't know about the various components of the AI. The gray cloak muttered to himself. "If it's a kotoshin...... It is indeed possible to adjust the individual chips to different frequencies. In this way, the vibrometer cannot turn off four parts at once...... But in any case, I was able to determine that at least one was closed entirely. ”

"The rest are contact closures, or are they not closed at all?" replied the young man. "It's fine if it's a contact shutdown, I don't think the Scarlet Duke has the ability to restart the AI...... Unless he can do brain surgery on himself and open his own braincase. But there is also a high probability that there is no closure. ”

"That's true. The gray cloak agreed. "Let's assume that of the four parts that make up artificial intelligence, one is turned off, and three more. If it's the core chips that are turned off, that's even better, it's no different than shutting down AI entirely. Shut down the database, that's okay, at least AI can't mess with us anymore. Turning off small energy storage devices is also a good option, which is equivalent to a ...... reduction in the direct force of artificial intelligence. My concern is that it's the personality control device that is turned off. It's the worst-case scenario, and you know what the consequences are. ”

"Artificial intelligence is the same as complete freedom. The permissions, controls, and the like left by the heart are all null and void. She is no longer forced to obey any intelligent being...... Over time, the AI will see itself as an autonomous creature, and then she will have her own ambitions, and then ...... On this primitive and backward planet, she will feel that she has great strength and wisdom, and she should eventually call herself a 'god'. In fact, there is more than one artificial intelligence in this world that claims to be a 'god', and they have all built their own potential, even if we want to deal with them, it is more difficult. ”

"Forget it. The gray cloak replied. "We've been evaluating the risks and benefits for a long time. The answer is that the risks and benefits are not proportional. Because a very troublesome thing is that we don't know where those artificial intelligence ontologies are hiding. The only thing we know for sure now is that the Scarlet Duke Aerufate has an artificial intelligence in his head. Only the ontological position of this artificial intelligence can be determined. ”

"By the way, what were you doing? Watching this video over and over again?"

"I'm doing the math. The gray cloak replied. "I have to estimate the various possibilities of the four parts being shut down based on the angle of the vibrator and the position of the artificial intelligence parts in the Scarlet Duke's mind...... and draw up a plan of action for the next steps for the Committee's reference. Don't worry, I'm calm, and Ylan's death didn't affect me much. I'll get this done as soon as I can. ”

"Your words are really insincere. In fact, we all know that you like Ylang. ”

"Loved it...... ......" The gray cloak suddenly leaned back hard, pressing its entire back against the chair. "Loved it...... Just like...... And it's my one-sided liking...... In her eyes, I'm just a friend!"

He whispered the last sentence, and at that moment, there seemed to be a crystal light flashing in his eyes.
