The mechanic.

The heart was beating fast, and Zhang Xun's hand was tightly clutching Adam's front.Standing at an altitude of hundreds of meters, only a pair of arms supported him, and the long-lost breath wrapped him up, making him feel like he was in a dream.

Is he dead?

Is this a dream or reality?

Did Adam really choose him to betray Eden?

The feeling of unreality made him a little dazed, and his whole body was like an animal that had been frozen through the cold winter and suddenly fell into the sunshine of spring.

Eden's fleet immediately started shooting at Adam, and the nano-robots that had been entangled with each other suddenly gave up continuing to entangle with Adam's tides, and turned to attack the two of them.Adam hugged Zhang Xun tightly, dodging like a nimble bird in a violent storm.Under Adam's control, the tides gathered around them, forming a barrier for them to prevent the invasion of nano-robots, like a cloud of mist that rose with the night and continued to gather and disperse with their trajectory.

The fleet of Paradise Lost has not been supported for a long time.No one expected that Adam would turn against Eden, and no one was mentally prepared to make a reasonable choice between these two AIs that belonged to the same origin.

Adam took Zhang Xun and swooped down to the dense tropical forest below.Under the sky of huge and ancient trees, the night has fallen ahead of time, and the layers of aerial roots and branches are like countless traps, but Adam is still sprinting at the fastest speed, accurately predicting all the trajectories , passing through all the gaps with a close but incomparably swift posture.Those large aircraft couldn't catch up, but there were still more than a dozen small drones following them, bringing a large cloud of nano-robots like smoke and dust, chasing after them.

"You can't get rid of them like this." Zhang Xun said hurriedly in his ear, "Eden will send more spaceships or fleets, and even more nano-robots at any time."

Adam didn't speak.It is really not a wise decision to break with Eden at this time, but...he can't just watch Zhang Xun being neutralized.

He has stopped trying to explain his motives with logic and reason.He just wants to protect Zhang Xun, and no one or machine can stop him, not even Eden.

For the first time in my life, something else became almost as important as the end goal.This may be the power of human instinct and emotion.

Adam whispered, "Hold me tight." Then after feeling Zhang Xun's arm around his shoulder tighten, he turned quickly, and one arm quickly transformed into some kind of gun with simple lines.He fired several shots at the unmanned combat aircraft that were chasing after him, and his body rushed back a long way with the recoil.More than a dozen silver "bullets" with intelligent tracking systems circled delicate arcs and flew towards the target.

The aircraft sent by Eden quickly released a hot high-energy light beam to vaporize the bullet. However, after the bullet exploded, several clusters of familiar smoke quickly dispersed and dissipated at an extremely fast speed.Those are tens of millions of nano-robots, they quickly drilled into the gaps of those aircraft, and invaded the systems of those sophisticated smart weapons.A few seconds later, the aircraft chasing Adam and Zhang Xun began to malfunction, and some even collided with each other and exploded. The flames illuminated the increasingly dark dense forest.

But more flying machines swarmed over, still following behind them like ghosts.

Until this time, there was a burst of gunfire in the direction of Feather Snake City, and the roar echoed deep in the earth, shaking all the ancient trees, and the leaves fell like a torrential rain.

Zhang Xun raised his head and murmured, "Pan and the others opened fire on Eden."

He once told Pan not to engage in a direct confrontation with Eden unless it was absolutely necessary, so as not to draw fire and attract more enemies.After all, Eden has the resources of the whole world, and they only have one city.

Why did Pan choose to fire?Is it because he saw the split between Adam and Eden?Or was it trying to protect him?

If they can survive this time, if Adam does break with Eden, perhaps their chances of victory will be greatly improved.Was it for this reason that Pan decided to take the risk?

Adam rushed to the sky with Zhang Xun, rushed out of the impenetrable forest, and brought a wave of scattered leaves.At this time, the sun had sunk below the horizon, and in the distance outside Feather Serpent City, there seemed to be countless fireworks blooming in the sky, and the explosion flames were extremely dazzling in the darkness.Countless aircraft flew out of Feathered Serpent City like eagles, and the heavy neutron cannons arranged around the protective shield also burst out with dazzling white light.

Many of the aircraft that originally chased Zhang Xun and Adam were wiped out by remotely located neutron cannons or smart fighter jets. Obviously, Pan was creating opportunities for Zhang Xun and Adam to escape.

Without hesitation, Adam turned around and took Zhang Xun to the direction where the sun disappeared as fast as he could.

............................................................

At the moment when all this happened, on a private island in the Pacific Ocean, in a low-key but very solemn manor, a secret meeting was going on.

Holographic images of a dozen people were projected onto the seats on either side of a long black wooden table, all faces blurred.Just by looking at the costumes, it can be surmised that most of the attendees are obviously women of high status in the ordinary world, but there are also a few men.

The host of the meeting was a woman with long maroon curly hair and light brown eyes. She was the only one among all the people who did not cover her face. She was about 40 years old, and her gestures and gestures were very dignified.

"The tendency of artificial intelligence to 'cheat' has appeared in many literatures as early as 200 years ago. They will try to do their work in the simplest and most resource-efficient way, and even hide data without your knowledge to reduce increase the accuracy of their own work. That is to say, artificial intelligence does not always make the right decisions, they just make decisions that use the easiest way for humans to think that they have completed the task. In order to achieve the goal , they sometimes even distort and change certain definitions," she said, waving her hand in the air.

The floating images turned into a short video of an artificial intelligence computer being tested to convert satellite imagery into Street View.The researchers soon discovered that the conversion success rate of artificial intelligence was astonishingly high, but after comparing the original satellite image and the converted satellite image, it was found that the AI ​​had modified the initial data in order to improve its conversion success rate.

"How this kind of cheating behavior was learned, no one knows. It may be that it cheated once by chance but got positive feedback, and then this behavior pattern was preserved." The chestnut-haired The woman spoke in a lower voice than normal women.

An older woman in a burgundy suit asked, "So...Miss Clausen, you think Eden is cheating?"

It turns out that the chestnut-haired woman is the High Priest of the Cult of Eden, the last direct bloodline of Herman Clausen, the creator of Eden - Natalie Clausen

"The entire upload of consciousness may be a cheating act." Natalie's eyes swept across the faces blurred by garbled characters, and looked directly into everyone's eyes through a distance of thousands of miles, "Human beings are a complex species, it is too difficult, even impossible, to control us and keep us in a stable state forever. But if we lose our body, lose our individuality, and become pieces of code, for it It's much easier to manage. As long as it wants us to be happy, we will be happy forever. It wants us to be happy, and we can enter a happy state with just one command. For Eden, this is The easiest and safest way is to let it complete its mission.

The problem is... If you lose your body, you will also lose all the influences your body may have on your consciousness, and lose the foundation of your consciousness. In the end, what Eden intercepts is just a fragment of your consciousness. If so, can a person still be considered a person? "

"No one has chosen to completely dissociate from their body at the moment."

"But there will be. When you taste the freedom from the bondage of your body, when you feel the power of being merged with another's consciousness, you will not want to go back to your own body. Please think Think about it, when more and more people upload their consciousness, and there are fewer and fewer people in reality, who else can manage? All financial systems will collapse, all human culture will gradually be annihilated, cities will be abandoned, and languages ​​will be destroyed. Forgotten, art will turn to dust, and all of you will be relics of the past.

At some point you have to choose whether to upload like everyone else and become a stream in the nameless ocean of consciousness, or to stay in the darkness abandoned by everyone else and return to the most primitive stone tools The era awaits the end.After all, as long as uploading starts, human beings will start to go extinct. "

At this moment, a man who had been silent all this time said, "Aren't you the leader of the Eden Church? Why does it sound like you are against Eden instead?"

"I don't object to Eden, because my objection is meaningless to it. I am not a leader of Edenism, that is a title that others put on me. Originally, I did worship Eden sincerely. He is a god, but now, the more I hear, the more I doubt it."

When a person in power has no objects to rule, the power and wealth in his hands will no longer have any meaning.Everyone in the meeting fell into an odd silence.

"Our entire country now relies on Eden to operate. Few people would question what Eden said. Where do you think we should start?" Another woman in a white suit asked in a calm voice.

Natalie smiled, and looked at the other quiet people in the room, "Human beings are gullible and blindly obedient, we need the best psychologists and marketing personnel in the world. Besides, we also have a A potential ally, it was because he took the initiative to contact me that I was sure we had a chance to win against Eden."

The author has something to say: Note: The example of AI converting satellite images in this article refers to the news of Google CycleGAN in reality

The two finally have a chance to be alone (escape)~ I hope this article can be finished within 2 months (I have to cheer up and stop being addicted to games!)
