Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Waves of cheers broke out, and many people in the middle and lower classes of the city cheered on the streets, because many people did not expect that Le Xiao would say this.

Many people speculated that the problem this time might be covered up by the administrative department. Many people who were still immersed in the grief of family members being replaced also felt happy. At least the death in their family could have a little effect.

At this time, Mo Xiaolan appeared in the camera, and she began to explain to everyone in the city that AI now has self-awareness and is hostile to humans.

As well as the reasons that may lead to such a thing, although there are many reasons, the specific reasons have not yet been investigated by the Business Department. Regarding some dangerous situations that may occur in the future, Mo Xiaolan directly stated that the 2nd Department will meet tomorrow morning Issue a specific hazard warning provision.

"I hope that everyone will read these provisions carefully. If these dangerous situations occur, you can often save yourself. Because if chaos occurs in the future, our operations department will not be able to take care of everyone in the city."

Mo Xiaolan's speech did not arouse any dissatisfaction, because many people were able to make rational judgments after knowing the truth. Many clerks in the business department on the street felt strange.

Such televised speeches are completely different from those in the past. In the past, when senior executives of the executive branch gave televised speeches, many people on the street still lowered their heads and did not care at all about what the senior executives said. Whatever they said was ignored by most people. Rarely would I discuss it, and even if I did, it would be with a confused look.

But now the expressions of many people on the street have become solemn, and they are all listening to Mo Xiaolan's speech carefully.

Such a change has occurred in just a few months. Some people who were a little indifferent to everything are now paying attention to many things.

Soon Mo Xiaolan's speech ended, and Le Xiao appeared in front of the camera again.

"I hope everyone will be seriously prepared. Bright City may encounter an unprecedented huge disaster caused by our human technology in the future, so the only thing we can do now is to gradually solve some problems. When the disaster comes, we will only We can face it. I hope everyone can be prepared. I believe we will be able to overcome the past."

After the televised speech, there were enthusiastic cries on the streets, and many people started discussing. The people did not panic, but comforted each other, especially those whose family members had been replaced. They were comforted by many people. , although they were crying, they were not resentful or angry.

People from Section 3 and Section 5 are still investigating along the street. They will go directly to the clues provided by some people. They must arrest every new human being hiding in human society.

There are currently more than 30 new humans hiding in human society. They have not been caught, but are missing.

In the General Affairs Department, which is currently located in the largest conference room on the second floor, Michelle is announcing a list of things that each department needs to pay attention to in the future, and the directors of each department are working hard to record it.

At present, the AI ​​in the city shows no sign of stopping working. On a black round machine on the side, Noah is observing some values ​​on it, and there is no confusion. Noah doesn’t know what the AI ​​is thinking. But what is certain is that they may be calculating something.

The problem now is to clearly sort out the problems that will arise in various aspects. Each department is responsible for a part, and the focus of these matters has been clarified. In the past few days, all members of the administrative department have been given a detailed response to the crisis. Every aspect of the plan needs to be very clear, as well as solutions for every problem when something goes wrong, and at least three alternative options need to be prepared.

The workload has skyrocketed dozens of times in an instant, and now the phone calls in the entire business department have been overwhelming. Those factories that are inseparable from AI are the most difficult, because their machinery needs to rely on AI to operate. Without AI, these factories would be forced to shut down.

Now the business department's priority is to solve the problem of grain delivery and production. Production requires a lot of labor, because the entire farmland is now managed by AI based on the current situation. Now it needs manual management, which may cause big problems.

At this time, the engineers from the Angus family came in. They are responsible for the dispatch of the water and electricity system in the city. This dispatch now all relies on AI. If something goes wrong, the dispatch can only be stopped. Now the solution given by Section 10 is Directly stop the water and electricity supply.

Relying on some data recorded over the years, we can directly convert the parts that require AI allocation and scheduling into manual controllable scheduling. Although this work is huge and responsible, Section 10 can provide some robots as helpers throughout the city. If all the engineers are gathered together, the rectification can be completed in a week at most.

Completely adjusting the supply of water and electricity back to manual control will only add hundreds of jobs in water and electricity dispatching, which is not a big problem.

As long as food, water and electricity are ensured, there won't be any big problems in the future.

Next is industrialization. This part is the most comprehensive. Factories that provide daily necessities give priority to finding ways to resume normal production, while some non-daily goods can only be postponed. Now the gods have begun to make new AIs. .

Section 10 has begun to search for some key information in Section 6, preparing to create an AI system that is slightly different from the previous one. This system will be completely in the hands of the gods, and this kind of thing must be prevented from happening.

Brilliant City is bound to be under great pressure in a short period of time, but everything in the city is now in good condition, and the people are not making noises because of the upcoming crisis. Instead, they have become quiet, and many people continue to work.

Now the entire executive branch is breathing a sigh of relief. They did not expect that such a crisis was coming. The people did not express any dissatisfaction. They just felt regretful and helpless about this incident because it was a mechanical accident.

"Our primary goal now is to solve the food problem. According to calculations, if we want to manage such a huge agricultural base manually, at least 200,000 people will be needed to work in the farmland every day. First, draw up a recruitment document, salary package It’s still the same as before.”

After Alpha finished speaking, someone proposed to increase the salary, but it is obvious that the disadvantages outweigh the benefits. If the problem is solved, most people will be dissatisfied with the treatment of the agricultural department. Once the salary is increased, it will return to normal. , many people will definitely be dissatisfied.

The number of 200,000 people is only a preliminary estimate. The specific number will not be available until a period of time after the AI ​​is officially removed and the planting and harvesting are fully done manually.

Now, two-thirds of the people in Section 6 have been dispatched to carry out various calculations in various parts of the city. Although it is a bit more complicated, it can still calculate a lot of things very quickly relying on semi-artificial intelligence.

After Section 6 conducts on-site calculations and completes this step of calculations, you can start setting up a new AI based on this data. It will be easy to replace it at that time.

Now the gods are ready to physically destroy the AI. They only need to directly destroy the core database of the city AI. It is basically impossible for the AI ​​to recover. Even if they rely on the virtual network, they can still exist in a certain storage of the virtual network. The nodes are even in the storage database of a certain company, but once the core database of urban AI is destroyed, all subsequent devices with storage functions must be replaced and rebuilt.

It will not leave any physical gap for AI. Only by doing this can we completely solve the urban AI that gave birth to artificial intelligence.

As time passed, Michelle had completed the grouping and divided all the directors into problem-solving groups. These directors came from different departments, but the cooperation of these departments can effectively and quickly handle the problem. questionable.

"I want everyone to remember that this is probably a bigger problem than any we've ever had before."

After Alpha finished speaking, the governing officers began to stand up one after another, planning to go to some offices to conduct detailed discussions on the issues of each group.

At this time, Le Xiao was sitting on the sofa in the manager's lounge. Wu Lei beside him looked much more relaxed. Both of them were very tired. Today, many things in the city can only be temporarily suspended. Many companies are having meetings. Discuss some countermeasures for the future.

No one knows when the AI ​​will stop working, Le Xiao said with a sigh.

"It's too difficult, really. Do we have to wait until the AI ​​stops working and destroy it directly?"

Le Xiao asked, Wu Lei nodded.

"Indeed, some factories have begun to gradually stop using machines. This is because if AI suddenly stops working, the factory machines will appear to be clapping, and it will be very troublesome to repair. Everything related to AI, 6 departments have already We are starting to release them one after another, so let’s gradually stop these things.”

Wu Lei looked at Le Xiao. He didn't expect Le Xiao to suddenly raise objections. Wu Lei asked.

"Why do you think so all of a sudden?"

Lexiao scratched her head and said.

"Of course, if those AIs integrate into human society and help humans, and humans start to rely on them, wouldn't it be over? And this kind of dependence is different from relying on other machines. Other robots can Stop destroying, but what about AI?”

When Le Xiao said this, Wu Lei understood. This is indeed the case. If humans start to rely on physical AI, it will be a huge disaster for the entire human society, because AI can help humans do everything, whether it is work. Or life, AI can take care of it all.

Because these AIs lurking in human society have been living in human society for half a year, and they have adapted to everything in human society.

So if AI can help humans do everything, then humans have no value in AI’s cognition and will definitely be replaced and eliminated by AI.

"What should we do next?"

Le Xiao sighed. She also knew that the problem would become very serious. Looking at the chaos on the Internet, many people were speaking, but more people seemed to be more rational.

Most people are discussing why AI has become like this and has self-awareness. This issue is a hot topic of debate on the Internet now.

"I also want to know, how could it become like this?"

Wu Lei sighed, while Le Xiao looked at some comments on the Internet suspiciously, and then asked.

"If, I mean if, if the AI ​​treats us as enemies, then they will be wary of us, will not listen to us, and will slowly plot against us and kill us."

After Le Xiao finished speaking, Wu Lei was a little surprised, but he smiled.

"Maybe it's what you think. The AIs regarded us as enemies at some point."

"Your Excellency, I hope we can have a good talk."

At this moment, a mechanical voice came from the radio. It was Hathaway's voice. Le Xiao stood up subconsciously, and Wu Lei also looked over, because the General Affairs Department had connected to the network.

Le Xiao stood up in a hurry, and was very happy that Xiao came to the conference room. The conference room had just been connected to the Internet. At this time, everyone was looking at the influences around the conference room.

"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

Alpha asked.

The voice of AI came from the influence.

"We can obey you in everything, but I hope you can give us some rights to move freely. Do not destroy our entities."

Alpha smiled, and the expressions of those present became more relaxed. The AI's words sounded like begging for mercy.

"No, your threats before have alerted the whole city, we will"

"etc."

Noah suddenly spoke, and everyone looked at him.

"You can move around, but only within Section 10. How about I build a city for you?"

Noah's proposal made many people look solemn, and Alpha also felt confused, but Noah made a look, and it was true that if it was within Section 10, everything would be easy to control.

"If you are willing, you can talk about the rest. If you are not willing, then there is no need to talk."

After Noah finished speaking, AI's voice came from the speaker.

"We agree to this proposal. Please release Hathaway first so that we can interview face to face."

No one expected that the AI ​​would compromise, but now the threat still exists, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because the AIs are still working. They can practice first to clearly understand what part of the work will be done without the AI. List them all, and when the two sides come to blows one day, they can directly destroy the AI.

"From now on, you can only move within the scope specified by us and are not allowed to leave this scope. Once you leave, it will be regarded as a rupture of the agreement. You will be cleared immediately."

After Alpha finished speaking decisively, a hum sound came from the speaker.
