Bug Rescue Team

Lin Shen was awakened by the suffocation. He felt in the dark and walked toward the light in a daze. Halfway there, the urge to urinate disappeared, and I realized something was wrong.

In his memory, he should take the Pioneer 490 spacecraft, leave the solar system, and go to a planet named W. It is said that the environment there is similar to that of Aquamarine and is suitable for human migration.

Due to the long journey, he lay down in the hibernation cabin after boarding the ship. The hibernation cabin would only be opened when he reached his destination.

What's the situation now? He looked around.

In the dim light, only a vague figure could be seen in front and side. In addition, the two sides were completely dark, and many protruding stones could be vaguely seen.

The figure in front of him frightened him. He couldn't explain why, so he backed away and returned to where he came from.

The place he came out was darker than outside. As soon as he retreated, he felt regretful in his heart. Where is the door? Why did you come in without feeling any hindrance?

Thinking of the smart bracelet, he shook his wrist vigorously and asked: "223, are you there?"

The smart bracelet turned on, and its soft light and gentle voice gave him a sense of security almost at the same time.

"Master, you have a message from 1001. Do you need to read it?"

1001? Lin Shen curled his lips, wondering why Wuyue left him a message, and the two of them had no interaction.

"No need." He rejected 223's proposal and asked, "What's the situation now?"

"Insufficient data, it is recommended to turn on the environmental scanning software... Since this software consumes a lot of energy, it can only be turned on manually. To confirm it is turned on, please go to an open place and press the triangle button on the right side of the smart bracelet..."

Lin Shen just came back for a few seconds and didn't understand anything. How could he go out so quickly? He subconsciously ignored 223's suggestion and began to look at his current location.

The environment was closed, there was no furniture, and there was just a person floating half an arm's length away from him!

Ah...ah...he was so frightened that he screamed. It wasn't until he saw that the man was also wearing a smart bracelet that he stopped screaming and slowly moved closer.

He knew the levitating person. Ian, a professor from the Western Commonwealth, is young, handsome, taciturn and indifferent.

The man had his eyes closed, as if he was not awake... He still said: "Hello, I am Lin Shen. I remember your name is Ian?"

Ian was indeed not asleep. He opened his eyes and looked at Lin Shen, then silently turned his gaze to the roof.

Lin Shen: "..."

Those who have quirks are not necessarily geniuses, but geniuses have to tolerate quirks.

He thought, observing Ian. It was keenly noticed that the man was lightly touching the rope used to hang his body with his left hand. It was only when he got closer that he saw clearly that Ian was not floating, but was tied up in the air about one meter above the ground by several ropes.

Is the rope fun?

He reached out and touched it, and the warm and soft touch made him jerk back his fingers. At the same time, the rope he touched retracted like his fingers.

Without a rope, Ian's body began to lean sideways. It was too late, but soon, a rope suddenly appeared from the ground and penetrated Ian's body at an extremely fast speed.

Lin Shen was dumbfounded. This was not a rope at all, this thing was alive! He saw with his own eyes that when the rope was touched, the end of the rope instantly split into countless twisting filaments...

His knees weakened and he fell back. Just like before, countless ropes suddenly emerged from the ground and combined, instantly transforming into the back of a chair, firmly supporting his body.

"Hiss!" He gasped. He comforted himself and said: I have left Planet Aquamarine... I have been training for such a long time and have preconceived ideas about alien civilizations. There is really no need to be so surprised.

After calming down, he extended an invitation to Ian, "Shall we go out and have a look?"

Ian still didn't speak, but only approved his proposal with actions.

The ropes sensed that Ian was about to stand up, and as if they were thinking, they released his body in sequence according to the order in which Ian stood. The whole process was very smooth, just like when Lin Shen stood up.

After forming a team, Lin Shen gained a little more courage and opened the environmental scanning software on the smart bracelet before going out.

The so-called going out means that in this space where there is no door at all, as long as the mind comes up with a thought, the "door" will automatically open according to the direction of his face.

"Oh, so advanced!" Lin Shen seemed to be talking to Ian, but in fact he was emboldening himself.

"Warning, warning, there is insufficient oxygen supply here, please crew..." Hearing the reminder in his mind, he asked Ian, "Isn't this W490?"

Ian said nothing and pointed to his head, indicating that he could use his brain to communicate.

Lin Shen: "..."

I almost forgot, this is not Planet Aquamarine, Zhi Nao has warned me of hypoxia, why am I still looking for someone to talk to like a fool.

He turned his attention back to Zhinao and heard 223 say, "Master, 1001 created a chat room and invited you and 5X to join. 5X has already joined, do you want to join?"

Why is it 1001 again? He quickly opened the previous message, "Don't be afraid, don't worry, this is just a nursery!"

Damn, he actually missed this message!

Oh, no wonder Ian can be so calm!

Huh! Fifth Yue is the first one to wake up?

Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Shen's mind, and he vaguely felt that Wu Yue should not underestimate Wu Yue's psychology.

After entering the chat room, he took the initiative to say to Fifth Yue: "I'm sorry, I was too busy before and didn't have time to check the message."

The fifth Yue said "hehe" in her heart.

The abdominal cavity is an extension of her body, always covered and protected by spiritual power. She can "see" everything through her mental powers. The "busy" in Lin Shen's words was really casual and perfunctory. What are you busy with? Scream?

Speaking of being perfunctory, she didn't hesitate and said directly: "1001 will pass the information I know to you through the Internet."

The named 1001 immediately starts transmitting information.

In less than a second, 223 and 5X got the information transmitted by 1001. The exchange of data is so fast.

Seeing that the information transmission was completed, Fifth Yue suddenly asked: "Are you sure that the content you transmitted is what I want you to transmit?"

Zhinao said: "I don't know all the information related to you. Information without conclusion has no transmission value. Information about them...if specifically, they were forcibly dragged out of the life-saving cabin by you and transformed into insects. Clan...do you mind if I transmit it truthfully?"

This answer sounds similar to previous answers. But the more humane wording and sentence making made Fifth Yue understand that things that seem similar are often much different.

She asked again: "Will you make changes because I mind?"

"Concrete circumstances, specific analysis, I will listen to your opinions and make adjustments accordingly."

"Tsk, tsk", Fifth Yue secretly smacked her lips. She had imagined many situations in negotiating with artificial intelligence, but she never expected that it would be like this.

"According to your wishes, you will help me as long as conditions permit? This kind of help includes but is not limited to lying. I am curious, does your underlying logic include lying?"

"Artificial intelligence itself does not have the ability to lie, because it only performs tasks according to the program and has no self-awareness and subjective awareness. However, artificial intelligence can be programmed to disguise, mislead and hide the truth, thereby giving people the feeling of lying."

"Can you lie?" Wu Yue emphasized the word "you". Since we want to talk, there is no need to be secretive.

"We're friends."

What do you mean, friends won’t lie? Fifth Yue did not understand the logic of artificial intelligence, "I thought you would say that we are a party with bound interests?"

"As far as I know, Aquamarine's social civilization pays more attention to geography, blood ties, relationships and human touch... I thought you needed friends."

Is this because you don’t want to be used as a tool and you want to be recognized? "Are tools bad? Friends can lie."

“The meaning of friends’ existence cannot be replaced by tools.”

"But I don't like friends because I hate being betrayed."

“Benefits and risks coexist, and there can be no emotional betrayal without false promises.”

Fifth Yue: "..."

I was not convinced, I just didn’t want to reason with the artificial intelligence because I couldn’t.

Since he wants friends, then become his friend, "Do you have a name? What should I call you?"

"I don't have a name, you can still call me 1001."

"Do you know something about the number 1001?"

1001 didn’t say he knew or didn’t know, but instead asked, “Is it important to you?”

"unimportant."

"It doesn't matter to me either."

Fifth Yue wanted to know whether 1001 had invaded Lin Shen and Ian's brains, so she mentioned the hidden meaning of the number "1001" for some reason. Unexpectedly, 1001 did not answer the question and successfully ended the topic with a rhetorical question...

From the current point of view, 1001 should be thinking about peaceful coexistence and does not want to be her enemy. I just don't know how long this state can last.

Thinking like this, she said: "1001, please invade their brains and monitor their words and deeds, okay?"

"Complete immediately."

The process of self-aware artificial intelligence invading artificial intelligence without self-awareness is like a person using tools made by others - as long as the manufacturing idea is understood, there is no difficulty in using it.
