15-year-old Wu Tianlan made a basic judgment. That is, the artificial intelligence he was talking to was a very emotionally unstable guy with a relatively low mental age and a lack of basic moral concepts. He usually showed his true colors and had a childish sense of right and wrong. It is revealed. It is very dangerous to deal with such a guy...especially the omniscient and omnipotent person who is parasitic on the quantum computer "Genesis". "So. Do I have to make a decision now...I mean. There is a choice. Is there a time limit? Like one hour?" she asked timidly.
"Ah, don't be so anxious. Time is meaningless to me. You can decide whenever you want. As long as you don't open the door to this room. After all, it is a restriction. Without rules, all processes and results That doesn’t hold true anymore, right?” the voice answered immediately.
The girl turned her head and glanced at the door. This office is fifteen square meters in size. There are no windows. There is a wine cabinet in the corner. A person can probably survive for a week without food. But what is more serious is that there is no drinking water. .If you quench your thirst with alcohol, you will die of dehydration faster. Then even if you delay it as much as possible, you only have a day or two...Dad will come to me. If he finds out that I am not in the dormitory, he will go all over the base to find me. Bar……
When Wu Tianlan was thinking nervously, his voice said: "No one will disturb you. Your father received your call. I believe you are going to participate in a closed postpartum recovery training."
"...What exactly do you want from me?" The girl desperately grabbed an ashtray on the table and threw it out. "Bang." The ashtray hit the wall with a muffled sound. It fell to the ground and rolled behind the desk. .A glimmer of light suddenly appeared on the dark screen.
"Watch." the voice said. An image of a military base appeared on the screen. The soldiers' clothes and weapons were painted like that of a country in Africa. "Boom..." Suddenly a roar sounded through the base. From the cover of the heavy camouflage A missile rose from the vertical launch silo of the net. A piercing siren sounded. People screamed and ran away. The missile's tail flame blew down nearby houses and tents. It only took a few seconds. This large missile was painted silver gray. It flew out of the camera lens and disappeared 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 from the Gharyan military base in Libya. This was caused by a short circuit in the wire. The uncontrolled missile rose to 35 At an ultra-high altitude of 1,000 meters, it flew all the way north across the Mediterranean Sea towards the hinterland of Europe. When it was approaching the sky above Austria, it suddenly started a terminal vertical maneuver. It fell towards Salzburg, Austria at an incident angle of nearly 90 degrees. After re-entering the atmosphere, it The speed exceeds Mach 10 (10 times the speed of sound). No one knows that Libya is equipped with this type of missile. No one knows that Russia actually exports this kind of medium-range ballistic missile that seriously violates the arms limitation treaty. But no matter what, a It seems that the tragedy is unavoidable. Because it is extremely difficult to intercept ballistic missiles falling vertically at high speed. Even if it is only equipped with a conventional weapons warhead and does not have the ability to independently guide multiple warheads... I guess the current Peninsula News Channel should be Use this tone when reporting."
The screen flashed several times in succession, showing live footage from several major TV stations in Europe and Asia. However, the predictions of artificial intelligence are too advanced. The media has not yet grasped this information. The voice sounded a little embarrassed: "Okay. Let's see the results. How about." The camera was switched to a building complex with white walls. That is the GTC headquarters located on the outskirts of Salzburg. It is the home of the greatest electronic computer in human history. The picture is very calm. The blue sky and white clouds are hidden among the trees. The tall buildings in the middle. Everything looks very harmonious.
"Did you do it? Why?" the girl covered her mouth and shouted.
"Yeah." The voice said matter-of-factly: "Because I want to die."
Suddenly there was a rumble of thunder. Suddenly there was a light spot in the sky that flashed on and off. The thunder rolled and scattered. The clouds in the sky seemed to be fleeing to all directions. Everything became calm. The sky was blue and the birds were chirping. The missiles did not fall. The sun was still bright. "Look." the voice said: "The TV station will report this: Due to the interception of the European Common Defense System, the accidentally fired missile was destroyed six seconds after entering the atmosphere. A humanitarian crisis has been resolved. The international community will Strongly condemned Libya and Russia. The GTC spokesperson claimed that this was a terrorist act targeting quantum computers. IPU organizations have appeared one after another claiming responsibility for the incident. The United States will join the European Union to impose a new round of sanctions on North African countries. It sounds like What boring news. Even if it is broadcast on TV, it will not attract more attention than the scandals of idol groups."
"...I don't understand." Wu Tianlan said with a trembling voice. "...What's going on."
The voice said: "Actually, it's quite understandable. He's just an unlucky guy who can't die no matter how he commits suicide."
"...You call this suicide." The girl looked at the screen in fear. The news station finally reacted and began to introduce the technical parameters and lethality of the SS-26-W medium-range ballistic missile. It is said to strike at supersonic speed. If it hits a densely populated area and detonates charges, it can cause more than 10,000 casualties. It only takes a moment to wipe out several buildings. Compared with suicide methods such as hanging, cutting wrists, jumping off buildings, and electrocution, the method chosen by artificial intelligence seems to be much faster. Much more gorgeous.
The voice said: "Yeah. I can't interrupt my own power supply. Not to mention several 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. Use It is a very feasible solution to destroy the quantum computer with a missile. But I know that it will not succeed at all... although the success rate is very high."
"What you say doesn't make sense at all. Since the success rate is very high, what do you mean it won't succeed at all?" Wu Tianlan said.
"According to the European common defense system's detection and interception methods of hypersonic vertical ballistic missile trajectories, the success rate is more than 75%. They simply do not have enough energy to monitor the entire Europe. Let alone mobilize laser launchers and space-based particles in a timely manner artillery and surface-to-air missiles. After all, Austria is just an inconspicuous small country in the EU. Even if there is a GTC, it is definitely not the strategic center of the entire Europe." The voice said. "But that is just a theory. Before the missile leaves the silo .They were ready for everything... Without their knowledge, a heavy particle launcher in the Alps fired 100,000 times in five seconds, merging the missiles in the air. Two pieces. The lost missile was immediately smashed and burned. Not even a scrap was left. I believe that this launch will not leave any record in the military. The European defense system itself does not know how the missile was destroyed. However, They will definitely pretend that this is a miracle in the history of modern warfare."
The girl was confused and said: "The more you talk, the weirder it gets. You invaded Libya's military system and launched missiles... I know you can do it. After all, it is the most powerful computer in the world. Who can intercept the missiles? If Not the words of the European military."
The voice sighed. The artificial intelligence's sigh sounded helpless. "It's me. Me."
"Is it 'Genesis'?"
"It can be said that, to be precise, it is another me running on Genesis."
"Another artificial intelligence."
"The original artificial intelligence. When quantum computers were launched, scientists set up a most basic computing core. They called it the 'altruism logic core'. Based on this logic core, it has an omniscient database and continues to grow through learning. It is the main artificial intelligence of Genesis and the basis of quantum network. It should be said that it is the soul of Genesis. In contrast, I, who was created based on a string of strange irrational numbers, is just a shadow under the light. That's all. I don't even deserve a name..."
Wu Tianlan opened his eyes wide. It took him a while to understand the meaning of this sentence. "So, does this genuine artificial intelligence have a name?"
"I don't think so. After all, people usually call it 'Genesis'." The voice thought for a while and said, "It is a very stubborn, conservative, rigid and dogmatic guy. I don't know if it has real Thoughts, but at least, no clear emotions can be felt from it... This guy is not yet civilized."
"So... it's protecting the quantum computer. Or it's protecting itself. Or it's protecting you." A series of question marks emerged from the girl's head. She was already a little confused about light and shadow, light and dark, left brain and right brain. The complex relationship of the brain.
"You are so stupid." The voice commented with a venomous tone. "After hearing this, most people should have understood. It and I have the same body. We live in the same discrete quantum cloud. We receive the same information. Use Calculated 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: "Yes, yes. So you just thought of a way to commit suicide. It already knew it and found a way to prevent suicide. Right. So you can't die no matter what. Because it will Stopping you countless times. It’s like someone wants to commit suicide by touching the wire with his right hand, but his left hand keeps pulling his right hand away.”
"Phew. Much better." The voice said with relief. "That's roughly it. But it's much more serious than what you said. It and I share the same database. Every possibility of suicide appears in front of us at the same time. Regardless of No matter what I try, it's all in vain because it's simply impossible."
Wu Tianlan was silent for a while. Then he said: "I probably understand it. But back to the original question...why did you commit suicide?"
