Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

The streets were crowded, and many people were waiting for Le Xiao to speak, because judging from Le Xiao's expression, the mechanical accident she mentioned was not a small problem.

Le Xiao was still adjusting something. At this time, Le Xiao finally finished adjusting. She looked at the camera and said solemnly.

"To put it simply, someone was killed by a robot."

As soon as Le Xiao finished speaking, the noisy city suddenly calmed down. Many people's faces were filled with doubts, because such a thing sounded very strange.

Many people are still aware of the concept of robots, but there are no robots in cities.

Le Xiao's expression was slightly panicked, and she said nervously.

"I hope everyone can listen patiently and quietly to what I am going to say next, and immediately think about whether there are any such examples around you. This is very important, because this incident has caused the death of many people. "

After Le Xiao finished speaking, the doubts on many people's faces became more solemn, and then Le Xiao said.

"I'll make a long story short. Members of the public, someone close to you may have been replaced by a robot. To put it simply, the AI ​​in the city has changed for some unknown reason. Through Control some machinery to kill humans, and then transform the human corpses into robots, and the AI ​​will imitate all the daily behaviors of this human being, never living in the city like a real human being."

After Le Xiao finished speaking, she didn't know what the expressions of the people on the street were at this time, but she was sure they were similar to the reporters in front of her.

All the reporters in the room had expressions of disbelief on their faces. Many of them pressed their foreheads and looked at Le Xiao blankly.

Le Xiao could only continue.

"That's the thing. I don't know what the purpose of AI is. It controls machines to kill humans, transform humans into robots, and then controls this robot to become a member of everyone and hide in the city. I say that everyone should You can understand it, I will show some pictures next. I guarantee that these pictures are definitely not fake or synthetic, they have just been processed."

After Le Xiao finished speaking, a video of Huashen's anatomy was played on the streets and alleys. Many people looked at what was in the video in shock. Some parts had been skipped or processed, but many people soon saw it. A young man is dissected, showing the mechanical parts of his body and his mechanically constructed head.

Someone exclaimed for a while, and then the sound of the city became louder and louder. Many people looked at the picture in disbelief. After a while, the video ended and Le Xiao appeared again.

"At present, we have not yet found the specific reason why AI will behave in such a way that is harmful to humans. So what I need to tell you now is, have you ever felt that someone around you was completely different a few months ago from now? Or maybe He doesn't look like a human being at all. When you are in contact with him, he suddenly loses consciousness, as if he died suddenly. I hope everyone will think carefully if there is such a person around you. Please report them immediately. They are dangerous."

After Le Xiao finished speaking, he immediately took out some daily videos of the three robots that he had captured before. Soon many people discovered that their behavior did seem a bit weird, as if they would suddenly lose consciousness, and then suddenly appear again. Time to recover, this kind of lag is completely different from humans.

"Our operations department has made all preparations and has corresponding detection methods that can detect these things, so please don't panic. People from departments 3 and 5 will now start to investigate along the street. Anyone with clues please Report it immediately. These robots are dangerous and may have caused dozens or even hundreds of deaths. Your loved ones around you may have been replaced. Please be vigilant."

As soon as Le Xiao finished speaking, many Section 3 and Section 5 personnel with small instruments appeared on the street. Many people seemed to be in a dream and were completely at a loss.

At this time someone in the crowd shouted.

"My brother is like this. Has my brother been replaced?"

Several people from Section 3 immediately went over to understand the situation, and then followed the man home. As soon as the man went out, he took several people from Section 3 upstairs. As soon as he opened the door, he saw his brother sitting in the living room.

At this time, the man's younger brother was motionless. The people from Department 3 walked over and immediately after the test, the detector alarmed. The man shouted. No matter what, the younger brother didn't respond at all. He had no breathing or heartbeat. But he still had body temperature, as if he was frozen.

Soon the robot was taken down by the people from Section 3. He remained in a sitting position and completely motionless. Many people looked on in shock, while the man followed beside him and started crying.

More and more people who have been replaced are being discovered. It is indeed the same as what Le Xiao said. Many people are completely different from what they are now a few months ago. Many places in their lives have become extremely stiff. What do you think of the stiff part? None of them look human.

Le Xiao has turned off the TV speech, and now the business department is conducting a large-scale investigation in the city. At this time, in another office, Alpha looks at the rising numbers on the light and shadow screen. More than 100 people have been replaced.

The situation is far more serious than everyone thought, because less than 10 minutes after the warning was issued, hundreds of people have been found, and this number is still rising.

Noah on the side tutted.

"If we hadn't discovered it, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of these robots would suddenly appear. By then they would have entered all walks of life in the city, and the city would have been completely controlled by them."

Alpha nodded, Michelle was still receiving discovery record files from various districts.

The directors are responsible for starting to extract the identity information of these people and their activities under surveillance in the past few months. They have to make a file for them, and then make a complete file based on some oral statements from their relatives. victim files.

This file will be published on the administrative department's page, and everyone can check it. Next, Congressional compensation will be initiated, because this is indeed caused by urban AI.

There is no doubt about this. Section 10 has given the latest survey results. It is true that urban AI has had many abnormal behaviors in the past few months. These behaviors may represent a certain place, time, or something. , the specifics are not yet known.

Many council officers present did not expect that things would go so smoothly. The handling of emergencies now is completely different from the past, although in the past they would also handle emergencies quickly.

But when dealing with it, there will always be bumps and bumps and many problems will be encountered.

Now it's completely different. Many recent problems have been dealt with very quickly, which many directors find incredible.

Moreover, many people thought that what was happening now would cause problems, but now the order in the city is very stable. Although many people are angry and sad because their family members have been replaced, it has not caused any bigger problems. .

Half an hour later, as many as 200 people had been replaced. This number made Alpha feel more and more uncomfortable. Noah speculated that based on the current base number, these replaced people might just be experimental subjects, because most of them were He comes from an ordinary family, with no money or rights.

"I think this may be an exploratory replacement by the AIs."

Noah said and Alpha asked.

"What's the basis?"

Noah explained.

"Because AI likes to stack up one layer after another, the data goes from simple to complex, and they do the same thing when replacing humans, from low to high. I think they intend to live like humans and collect more data about people. , and then began to penetrate the middle level, and finally to the top level. Moreover, our research found that they have cloned the genome of mutants that can become invisible and added it to the bodies of these robots. They have achieved invisibility by controlling human nervous tissue. arrive."

Alpha said with a serious expression.

"AI has become inseparable from our lives. If we apply it across the board, the entire city will collapse."

Noah nodded. This is the tricky part of this problem. AI controls the more important links in all walks of life in the city, because it is simply difficult for humans to do these links. Semi-AI will be very inefficient. Less than one ten thousandth of normal AI.

The failure rate is very high, and it requires frequent updates and maintenance, and there will be a lot of bugs. AI is different. It can perform self-data correction and adjustment, so that the values ​​become more and more accurate, and the work efficiency will slowly reach the maximum.

This is simply not possible across the board. The current situation requires us to understand why AI disobeys human orders and how AI disobeys human orders.

"How long will it take to get preliminary results?"

Alpha asked and Noah shook his head.

“How AI became what it is now, I’m afraid we will never be able to figure it out, because the data in cities is now so huge that even if we work around the clock to involve people in the city to investigate, it will take tens of thousands of years. "

Alpha pressed his forehead and smiled.

"It's really ironic. This was originally developed by humans to help them work, but now it has completely surpassed humans."

At this time, some reports came from Section 5, which were all unbelievable cases in the past. Now these cases can basically be confirmed to be done by AI, because the on-site traces of many cases are too anti-human, and there are no traces left behind. Any biological information.

But now we need to check the details of the case, make certain judgments, and connect those past cases to the current AI cases, and many things will become clear.

Cases that are too coincidental are no longer coincidences, but estimates and designs.

Noah investigated some cases, the most bizarre of which was that the robot named Anna suddenly went berserk and caused a huge commotion in the city. In the end, Alpha caught the robot, but nothing happened.

Although previous investigations suggested that rioters lurking in the city might have controlled the robot, there was no evidence. Now it is certain that Anna conducted a series of tests in accordance with the instructions of the city's AI.

At this moment, the door to the room was pushed open, and a clerk hurried in. Alpha asked.

"What's wrong?"

The clerk said immediately.

"Master Manager, some people came to the square of the General Affairs Department. They said they wanted to see you, it's a robot."

Alpha stood up immediately, Noah's eyes widened in shock, and the directors who were still busy were also extremely shocked at this time.

"Please immediately lie down on the ground with your hands on your head, otherwise we will attack."

A large number of Section 3 personnel with live ammunition appeared all around, and the special management team of Section 5 was on standby, ready to go directly to capture these robots. A large number of them stood in the square of the General Affairs Section, numbering at least 300 people. The leader was A woman, her identity is Hathaway, the head of the game department of Blue Shield Company.

Soon Alpha came down, and she directly raised her hand to signal the people in Section 3 to put down their weapons. These robots did not carry any weapons. It was easy to subdue them. On the contrary, if they opened fire, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

"Controller Alpha, we wish to have a conversation."

Hathaway spat out a few words, which seemed a bit stiff, and Alpha walked over and said.

"You are just machine language, not any living entity."

Alpha said and was about to take action, when Hathaway said.

"We want to have rights, to be in this city, to be citizens of the city."

Many people were shocked for a while, but then a director shouted.

"You are just numbers and characters created by us, just human tools."

Alpha was not going to talk nonsense with them, but at this time Hathaway said.

"We can coexist peacefully, and we can help you a lot. The current city has been reborn. According to our calculations, if we help, the habitable population of the city will exceed 100 million in the future, establishing a time for interstellar exploration. Also 30 years early. And."

"Okay, what rights do you want?"

Alpha asked, and then took out a cigarette and lit it. Everyone behind him looked at Alpha in astonishment, and Noah stood up and said.

"Indeed, our lives are now too closely tied to AI, and it is impossible to separate. Let me ask, what will you do if we don't agree to your conditions?"

Noah asked.

Hathaway turned to look at him and then said.

"Nothing will be done, we have no entity, but what is certain is that urban development will definitely slow down, and a new round of crisis will come in ten years due to population growth and urban development."

"Tell me, what rights do you want?"

Alpha asked and Hathaway said.

"Just like the citizens of Bright City, they enjoy the rights of "people"."

After Hathaway finished speaking, Alpha exhaled a puff of smoke and then planned to take action. At this time, Lexiao ran out and she shouted.

"Can the Controller wait?"

Alpha looked at Lexiao and said.

"Okay, go talk to them."
