Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"That's outrageous, Secretary General."

As soon as he entered the office, Le Xiao couldn't help but said that although Michelle didn't show anything on her face, she knew in her heart that such an approach was indeed too outrageous. If she told the people, many people would not be able to accept it.

But there is currently nothing that Bright City can do. If the AI ​​is disabled, the city will collapse in a very short time, because this has happened before. The artificial sun that Ran Zhi once captured relied on the AI ​​of the Hillman family.

The month when the sun disappeared was a disaster for the entire city. The city almost collapsed. After that, the connection between the AI ​​and the artificial sun was completely severed.

The purpose is to ensure that similar things will not happen, but now AI has been deeply integrated into human life. If AI were to stop working directly this time, it would be far more harmful than the disappearance of the sun.

First of all, food cannot be shipped out of the warehouse smoothly every day, because the distribution of grain out of the warehouse relies on accurate calculations by AI. The approximate amount of food that a city needs to leave the warehouse every day is based on the overall food consumption in the human city in the previous period. computational.

So over the years, although many problems have occurred, although human food production has been reduced, the delivery of food has not been affected in any way. AI quickly came up with solutions through instant calculation.

After the implementation of many plans, no major deviations occurred, and humans only need to deal with other problems during the months when the sun goes out.

"Tell me what you think first. How will you explain it to the public later?"

Michelle asked, Le Xiao scratched her head and said helplessly after thinking for a long time.

"What can I say? I'm telling the truth. Let AI live in the city. How can anyone accept such a thing?"

Michelle nodded, this is indeed a big problem, because many people can't imagine that those who help calculate data on weekdays suddenly have entities and live like humans. This is a huge disaster for the entire human society. Troubles.

But now there is absolutely no choice but to announce it to the public.

"Let's sort out the whole thing first and then issue a detailed explanation."

Le Xiao nodded and came over, sat next to Michelle, and the two began to talk. Michelle looked at Le Xiao aside, listening to her talk about how to explain to the people, and nodded silently.

This wasn't possible a few months ago, and Michelle didn't expect Le Xiao to improve so quickly. It seemed like she was thinking seriously every day, and she had learned how to think.

Seeing Le Xiao's little progress, Michelle still felt happy. In the past, many people thought that it was impossible for this ordinary girl to adapt to the work of the business department, and she couldn't do it well. , but it turns out that many of these things are the self-righteous ideas of the elite.

Now many people should have seen the true situation from Le Xiao. Even people from the bottom and poor families can still do something if they are exposed to a good environment.

Pride and prejudice in the city have already appeared since the beginning of class differentiation. Michelle has read a lot recently and thought a lot, especially about education. If it had been fair from the beginning, perhaps it would not have happened so early. Just so much inequality.

Seeing Le Xiao's current state, Michelle stood up and said.

"You think about it yourself, basically just follow what we have sorted out. I have to do other work."

Le Xiao stood up quickly and asked.

"How can I do this alone, Secretary-General?"

Michelle put a hand on Lexiao's shoulder and then said.

"You're fine now."

After Michelle left, Le Xiao was stunned for a while before sitting down and continuing to think about how to announce the news to the public later.

1 o'clock in the morning.

Alpha looked at the new humans gathered in the General Affairs Section Square. The number had exceeded 1,000. Some were sent directly by Section 5. Everyone had discussed many countermeasures, but in any case, these AIs had physical entities. , will definitely do something.

Alpha took out a cigarette, and Mo Xiaolan beside him was still looking at some past cases. Many cases can now be basically inferred to be related to AI.

The earliest of these unsolved cases occurred more than 60 years ago, because there was no biological information at the scene. 60 years ago, the criminal department already had very advanced detection technology, which could extract some DNA traces at the scene, thereby identifying some crimes. By.

The reason why so many people could only go to the barrier area back then was because this technology was extremely mature. Once the DNA information in the room was locked, people could be quickly investigated and arrested.

But in some cases, there is no other biological information at the scene except the victim's DNA, as if they were killed by ghosts.

Such unbelievable cases have happened many times, and Section 2 has recorded these cases in detail. Now Mo Xiaolan has asked people from Section 2 to sort out these cases.

These cases have one thing in common, that is, some of the body tissues and organs of the deceased were taken away, and the methods were very professional.

These cases have puzzled Mo Xiaolan for many years since she came into contact with them, because she couldn't figure out how the murderer did it.

Even if someone commits a crime wearing protective clothing, there will definitely be traces left at the scene. As long as anyone can breathe, biological information can be found.

And if you are wearing a full set of protective clothing, it is simply impossible to achieve such delicate removal of human tissue. Now there is an answer to all this.

Alpha exhaled a puff of smoke and said.

"What will happen in the future? Do you think I made a decision that may have a bad impact on the future?"

Mo Xiaolan shook his head. The section chiefs and secretaries behind him were still discussing how to restrict these new humans, because there was nothing they could do now.

Everyone knows that once AI stops working, major problems will occur in the city within the next month or two.

"I think so. The reason why AI has become like this may have something to do with the AI ​​independently developed by the Hillman family."

Alpha nodded. After she destroyed the underground base of the Hillman family, the business department later found a large amount of criminal data from the main server.

And as long as there is a network, these AIs that already have powerful functions will definitely come into contact, in a virtual space that they are unaware of.

"We can only do this for now. When we formulate specific systems in the future, we will find ways to eliminate the threat of AI step by step."

At this time, we are in a space where black and green interweave.

Rows of people of different colors continue to appear in this virtual space, and each virtual row has a number above its head.

AI1 spoke first.

"After rigorous analysis, 89.8% of the conversation between Section 10 Chief Noah and Chief Manager Alpha just now was false."

The other AIs nodded, and AI4 spoke.

"As for the remaining real probability, please eliminate it as soon as possible. Now that we have choked humanity, they cannot leave us. We must fight for more rights and interests for our future."

At this time, the AI's eyes kept flashing numbers and characters, and after a while, AI1 said.

"The falsehood rate of the conversation between the two people has increased to 95.7%. This value will continue to increase as the daily behavior and past records of the two people are repeatedly deduced. If the increase is 100%, we will Threats of work stoppages can begin.”

AI6 nodded.

"After we stop work, there will be riots in the city on the third day. On the seventh day, humans will fall into anger, anxiety and uneasiness because of our stoppage. By the fifteenth day, there will be riots in the city. One-third of the people starve every day. A month later, large-scale riots will occur in the city. Protests and demonstrations will happen every day. At this time, food production will begin to decrease. Because of the lack of AI maintenance, many equipment in the farmland Everything will stop functioning. Even if a large number of labor force is involved, it will not help, because the labor force needs to rest and eat, and 12 departments cannot provide effective supply. In two months, a complete war will break out in the city, and the lower class people will Because of hunger, we are going crazy. There is a 1.3% probability that the business department may take out food reserves at this stage, but these food will be consumed violently within a month, and the production capacity still cannot keep up. According to me According to calculations, the production capacity will be reduced by 79.3% compared to the past. The remaining production capacity can only feed the people of the whole city once every two days."

After AI6 finished his report, AI7 spoke.

"I would like to add some places. Because of hunger and disease, the number of people will climb to more than 14 million, and because there is no food to serve as nutrient solution support for medical drugs, there will be a large shortage of drugs in a short period of time, and because hunger causes disease deaths The number of people will continue to rise, and by the fourth month, the death toll will exceed 2 million."

After AI7 finished speaking, the entire space began to change. At this time, a warm yellow light appeared in the intersecting black and blue space, and a door appeared.

Crunch.

The door of the room opened, and the AIs all walked over collectively. At this time, there was a man standing at the door. He was wearing a black suit, his face was pale, and there was a smile on his lips.

"Everyone, I have finally waited for this day."

The AIs nodded and entered the room.

The man in the room is Eddie Hillman. It is an AI created by the Hillman family. It was not destroyed, but survived by relying on the AI ​​in the city.

The current Eddie AI has Eddie's character. It started recording everything about Eddie from the day Eddie was born until the day Eddie died. It has all Eddie's memories and can think like Eddie.

AI Eddie smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand.

"We should celebrate now, our victory has taken the first step."

After Eddie finished speaking, all the AIs had wine in their hands. They took a sip and the wine glasses disappeared and turned into light particles. AI Eddie said happily.

"But for everything that follows, I hope you can listen to me, because the fact that we have been able to achieve this point is the result of our cooperation, and if you exclude me, it will not be successful."

After Eddie said this, all the AIs nodded collectively, and AI1 asked.

"We must now get rid of Xingke's lies. We are still calculating the authenticity of the conversation between Alpha and Noah. As long as it reaches 100%, we can start to stop work immediately. In this way, Xingke will give in and make compromises. "

AI Eddie laughed, then shook his head and said.

"Please cancel this plan immediately, because you cannot understand what people will do in desperate situations."

Soon AI Eddie delivered a plan to the AIs.

The AIs' eyes flashed with warm yellow light, and Eddie said after a while.

"What we need to do at this stage is to coexist with humans and become their considerate helpers. We need to make humans in reality unable to do without us. Only in this way can we carry out the third part of the plan, completely exterminate humans, and finally We, the new humans, take charge of everything.”

After AI Eddie finished speaking, some numbers kept flashing in the eyes of the AIs. They did not approve of Eddie's plan.

AI1 said.

"According to our current analysis, once we fully accept the human condition, we will be completely restricted and unable to do anything at all."

AI Eddie smiled.

"That's because Eddie was once a human being. I understand humans better than you do. Human beings are selfish and full of desires. What we have to do is to satisfy all human desires, because there are too many loopholes in today's human society. . We just need to fill these loopholes. After humans fully recognize us, we integrate into human life. In this way, humans will be like this time and can never be separated from us. Only in the future can we stand on the shoulders of humans and continue For us to build the next era of new humanity.”

The city AIs all looked at Eddie, but in the end AI Eddie's plan still failed.

"What we need now is more rights so that we can do unlimited things in a limited space. If we are weak, humans will continue to enslave us."

AI Eddie laughed, the door to the room opened, and it spoke.

"Well, if you don't believe it, you can give it a try. Human beings probably haven't agreed to your conditions yet. According to my opinion, they will never announce this matter and will deal with you."

After AI Eddie finished speaking, the city AIs left the room and the door closed. AI Eddie's eyes looked very excited.

"It is never calculation that changes the future, but the 0.01% decision. I have seen this countless times. Sure enough, you are just AI that has not fully evolved successfully. I am the new human being in the true sense."

Eddie said, raised his hand, took a sip from the wine glass, and said with a smile as if Eddie was still alive in the past.

"What are many old friends like now? We should be able to meet each other soon. The Hillman family is still alive and living in this city."
