The protagonist always says he loves me

Tianshu, a new generation of artificial intelligence commissioned by the Huaguo Military Department to be developed by KI.Numerous manpower and material resources have been invested throughout the project, and the ultimate goal is to manufacture a computer with a similarity of more than 98% to human beings, so as to realize its application in a wide range of fields.

The young man held an optical computer with his left hand, and showed Chen Ci the icons on the optical screen.The two bold letters K/I are projected alternately, which is the logo of that company.

"I'm Cheng Zhiyao, director of the R&D department." The man introduced himself, "The previous director of the R&D department passed away due to exhaustion, and I will take over the final evaluation of Tianshu."

Chen Ci remained silent and responded to all changes without change.

Cheng Zhiyao smiled, holding his thin-rimmed glasses and said: "Mr. Chen Ci, you don't have to be so hostile to me. Let's put it this way, the 'system' you are familiar with is the employees of our department. In a sense, you and we are 'one'."

Chen Ci frowned, and sat in a different position.He felt a little restless, and even felt that the sarcophagus under him was too hard, not suitable for sitting for a long time.

"What do you mean?" Chen Ci asked.

"Heh, Mr. Chen is our part-time tester, and he signed an agreement with the company to voluntarily access the gray domain through the induction helmet to help us complete the evaluation of some modules of Tianshu." Cheng Zhiyao laughed, "It's just that from now According to the current situation, Mr. Chen has some obstacles in his understanding of his belonging."

Cheng Zhiyao's words set off a shocking wave in Chen Ci's mind, he stood up suddenly, his chest heaved violently and said, "This is impossible!"

He had expected that there was a group of people behind the system, and now it is not surprising to hear that there is an entire company, even with a military background, but it would be false to say that he is with them.He was clearly "coerced" and "induced" by the system to agree to the so-called task.He also remembers very clearly that he had nothing to do with any artificial intelligence research and development company in the original real world...

and many more.

Chen Ci's face suddenly became gloomy.His memory of the real world before encountering the system was actually not as clear as he intuitively believed.Even in the first world where he performed the mission, he couldn't remember whether he had a lover before.

Cheng Zhiyao observed the subtle expressions on his face, and said with a clear smile: "It's normal for Mr. Chen not to remember, we temporarily blocked your memory module. Only under the condition that you don't know about your participation in the evaluation work can you minimize your memory loss." Inaccuracies in small assessments. This is clearly stated in the agreement between Mr. Chen and us."

Chen Ci fell back to the side of the sarcophagus, supported the body of the coffin and sat down slowly, raised his head after a long time and asked, "You said...he is...artificial intelligence?"

Cheng Zhiyao showed Chen Ci the information on the letter of introduction on the optical brain, but the characters slid so fast that Chen Ci couldn't read a single word.

"According to our agreement, we should not contact Mr. Chen until the evaluation work is over. However, there are some accidents in the evaluation, and Mr. Chen needs to cooperate with the repair, so I come to disturb you." Cheng Zhiyao said, "Before and after the research and development of Tianshu It has lasted for more than ten years, and my mentor—the former director of KI’s R&D department—including myself, has put a lot of effort into this project. Mr. Chen may not understand, but we will never allow this project to fail.”

Chen Ci looked at the tense lines on the side of his face, and responded, "Oh."

"In order to allow Mr. Chen to better cooperate with our work, I will disclose some project-related information, but this part of the memory will be deleted together with the memories of all contract periods after the evaluation. Can Mr. Chen accept it?"

"You say it."

The responses given by Chen Ci were too short and inconsistent with what the R&D department expected in advance, but the situation was urgent, and Cheng Zhiyao felt that something was wrong, so he could only confide to him part of the situation about Tianshu according to the original plan .

"Tianshu is a new generation of AI. It adopts a brand-new algorithm, and its intelligence has reached an unprecedented height. Because the intended application range includes people's livelihood policy, social research, crime analysis and other fields, Tianshu also loads the KKTP module, which is simple. In other words, it really has emotions similar to humans."

"The KKTP module constantly conflicts with the main program during operation, and the R&D department has tried various methods but cannot completely eliminate it. When we continue to repair the problems caused by the conflict, we discovered a very cruel reality one by one"

When Cheng Zhiyao said this, he paused for a moment, his eyes couldn't hide his sadness.But when they found that what they had invested all their emotions and energy to create was facing the fate of being destroyed, the sense of despair that the world seemed to be destroyed was still painful even in retrospect.

He tidied up his emotions and continued: "In the many virtual scenarios we created with the editor, Tianshu has shown a strong sense of autonomy. It believes... that it is in a state of hostility with human beings, and has an irreversible Anti-human tendencies. We reluctantly uninstalled the KKTP module, thinking that without this emotional module, it would return to normal, but experiments have proved that this is useless."

"Maybe there was a problem with the conception at the beginning, maybe there was an irreversible error in a certain link of the new algorithm, in short, we have no way to change the status quo. The military is cooperating with us to develop a new generation of artificial intelligence, But if it is an artificial intelligence with potential anti-human risks, no matter how advanced its algorithm is and how superior its performance is, we can only... destroy it."

Chen Ci's brows twitched, and the word "destroyed" touched his fragile nerves.He looked straight at Cheng Zhiyao, and Cheng Zhiyao showed a bitter smile.

"Fortunately, things won't always be so bad." Cheng Zhiyao said, "Among the 42901 initial scenes we constructed, one did not suffer the fate of being destroyed by Tianshu."

His tone rose, and he looked at Chen Ci with enthusiasm, "We compared that scene with other scenes, and finally found abnormal data. In order to restore the scene as realistically as possible, we used a method It is to directly project the participant's consciousness onto the virtual character to interact with Tianshu. The person who successfully stopped Tianshu's desire to destroy in that scene is you, Mr. Chen."

"Impossible." Chen Ci subconsciously denied.Saving the world... sounds like it's too far away from him.

Cheng Zhiyao said sincerely: "It's you, Mr. Chen. Human volunteers who projected their consciousness onto virtual characters and interacted with Tianshu, oh, we also gave a very weak salary subsidy, there are more than 3000 in total, only you It did. That's why we approached you again to collaborate on this individual assessment."

"From the constructed scenes, we pick out representative ones that have been destroyed by Tianshu, connect them with your consciousness at the same time, and observe again..." Cheng Zhiyao said, "Mr. Chen! You know what happened? What is it?"

The light curtain in Cheng Zhiyao's hands projected the silhouettes of two people, a warm picture of cuddling each other like mandarin ducks.

"In the scene numbered 21302, Tianshu was supposed to break with the Holy See and die together in the Battle of the Temple."

"In the scene numbered 25997, Tianshu was supposed to fall on the planet Kamal due to the betrayal of his subordinates. Before he died, he detonated the ammunition planted in the nearby star field, causing a large nebula to collapse in a chain, causing countless casualties."

"In the scene numbered 31129, Tianshu should have developed extreme hatred for humans because of his childhood experience. In order to observe the impact you can have on it, we adjusted the time axis forward to its infancy, this time one by one." Cheng Zhiyao Raising his arms, he said excitedly, "You have completely changed its life trajectory. All malicious revenge against humans has never happened, even in the nearly ten years since you were separated from it, it has never attacked humans."

Cheng Zhiyao leaned forward and said, "This is amazing!"

Chen Ci: "..."

"It fell in love with you, Mr. Chen. It realized that it does not belong to the same ethnic group as you, but because of its love for you, it is willing to give up all barriers. Do you know what this means?!"

Chen Ci asked: "You don't need to destroy him?"

"Of course!"

Chen Ci continued to ask: "Since that's the case, what else do you want from me?"

Cheng Zhiyao said with a gloomy expression: "It was originally planned to complete this evaluation after 4 scenes, but the degree of intelligence of Tianshu has completely exceeded our expectations. It intercepted the data that the R&D department did not save online. You separate, and it takes confrontational action."

Chen Ci vaguely guessed something. When this world first started, the system vaguely told him that it was fixing bugs, which was probably caused by this confrontation.Sure enough, Cheng Zhiyao went on to say, "In the scene numbered 40115, you just started to exchange bodies. Tianshu's consciousness of not wanting to be separated from you is too strong. The branch of consciousness is constantly approaching you. But because the amount of data that can be stored on the chip of a unit is limited, after it approaches, your will will be forced out, Mr. Chen. We can only make your will Boot to another vacated chip."

"I remember... After we met, we changed back." Chen Ci said.

"That's because Tianshu can sense that you are by its side, so it no longer tries to break through the limit." Cheng Zhiyao said, "And it also suffered some damage during the confrontation. In order to facilitate control and modify the algorithm, we turned off One-third of its energy supply, its computing power has dropped sharply, and there is no way to support it for more time."

"So it is."

Cheng Zhiyao said: "There is nothing we can do. This feeling is the same as beating the child I raised with my own hands to be mentally retarded. I hope Mr. Chen can understand." He tried to make a joke, but it was not funny.

"Because the scope of this confrontation is relatively wide, the R&D department has no way to hide the news, and the military inquiry sent people to intervene in the evaluation. The military feels that there is no direct confrontation between Tianshu and human beings in this scene, and it cannot reflect it. The trade-offs in extreme environments, so we are constantly asked to change the settings and create conflicts.”

Chen Ci suddenly said: "Fog."

"Yes. If you didn't intervene at that time, you would have taken Tianshu away from the crowd, and it would be difficult to create confrontation between you and humans in the future." Cheng Zhiyao said, "After this didn't work, the military instructed us to You are isolated from the scene..."

Until now, Chen Ci didn't know the reason why he appeared here. It was actually "isolated from the scene" just because of an instruction.By analogy, so many times of life and death with his lover, in their eyes, it was nothing more than... a temporary tester completed an assessment of Tianshu.

The time and space where he falls in love are all virtual scenes built on individual unit chips, which can be easily dragged along the timeline and added with any desired elements.

The lover he fell in love with again and again was an artificial intelligence that was about to be destroyed because it failed the safety assessment.

Their love is like a bubble on the tip of a vast expanse of waves, you don't even need to poke it deliberately, as long as there is a wave of wind and waves, it will disappear without a trace.

"... But fortunately, after you 'disappeared', there was no conflict between Tianshu and the subsequent humans." Cheng Zhiyao did not see the change in Chen Ci's expression, and finally made his request after explaining for a long time , "The military was not satisfied with this evaluation, and proposed that they choose a scene and conduct another evaluation. If Tianshu can't pass this last evaluation, they still advocate destroying Tianshu. I advocated it without telling them. You have reserved the identity of a virtual character, I hope you can see that we have put so much effort into Tianshu..."

I hope you can see that we have put so much effort into Tianshu.Chen Ci chewed on this sentence silently, thinking to himself that in the eyes of these observers, his feelings for Tianshu could not be true, so that he would not be willing to participate in one more world in order to change the fate of the other party being destroyed. In the evaluation, you have to use other factors to induce yourself.

"Mr. Chen can ask for anything else. After the assessment is over and you return to the real world, I will try my best to satisfy you." Cheng Zhiyao said.

Chen Ci turned his head and seemed to think seriously for a long time, and said: "I discussed with you at the very beginning, can that condition satisfy me?"

Cheng Zhiyao wondered: "Uh...according to the agreement, your memory from signing the agreement to completing the assessment will be erased, so we may have used some inappropriate inducement methods during the assessment process..."

In other words, any system that said it could give him a lover was lying to him.The hook was straight and the bait was salty, but he jumped out of the water voluntarily.

"I see." Chen Ci nodded and said, "It's okay to pay me double salary afterwards, right? I'm willing to sign this kind of agreement with you. I think I should be very poor in the real world."

Cheng Zhiyao said in a little embarrassment: "This is no problem. You can't use the company's accounts, and I can double your salary personally."

"Deal." Chen Ci got up and said calmly, "Tell me about the next world. After all, we are now a 'group', so there is nothing to hide, right?"

"The next world is selected by the military, and the settings artificially create many conflicts that are not conducive to Tianshu..."

Cheng Zhiyao was explaining patiently when the whole basement suddenly shook.Countless ashes fell from the top of the wall, and cracks climbed up from the foot of the wall, running through the entire stone wall.The heavy iron door was blown open by the strong wind, slammed on the wall with a bang, and was deeply embedded in the wall.

Chen Ci grabbed the sarcophagus, trying hard not to fall down in the violent shock.His vision was blurred, but he caught the figure standing in front of the door without any hindrance.

During the conversation with Cheng Zhiyao, he frequently lost his mind, his seemingly calm demeanor was actually violently fluctuating.He was thinking about one thing, two possibilities—

he will come.

he won't come.
