Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

Everyone knows that a confrontation between monsters of this size is likely to destroy the existing human order.

So what can you do, don't fight.

One by one, they went from chaos in 2023 to 2045, and then worked hard to rebuild from 2045 to 2077 now.

Luo Qi felt that there was a good saying.

He didn't know what weapons were used in World War III, but it was definitely stones and sticks used in World War IV.

From the perspective of historical lessons, this statement is correct.

The war between Arasaka and Military Tech has left the world devastated, but other companies are not left alone.

Large-scale hot wars did not break out, and small-scale conflicts never stopped.

The combined size of these companies far exceeds that of Arasaka and Military Technology. The damage they bring to the world is not that violent, but it may be more long-term and deeply painful.

It's hard to imagine that two companies can wage pollution wars in order to destroy each other's economies.

The result is the complete destruction of the ecology of a sea area, and the long-term impact of ocean currents on other regions of the world.

This is just a microcosm of the years.

The thermonuclear test explosion of Supec destroyed the atmosphere, and aerospace companies such as orbital aviation piled up garbage in low-earth orbit.

Roaming AI sounds scary, but it's just one of the little gifts humanity has left for the planet and future generations.

Rocky, Paul, and Johnny.

They looked at the history that really happened in the past. For some reason, the task of searching for Otto had deviated from the direction.

The mood became more and more heavy.

In the end, they found something useful——

It's Arasaka.

After the nuclear explosion of Arasaka Tower in 2023, most people felt that the end of the world was coming, but after a period of time, that chaotic situation became a prime time for many people to make a fortune and fish in troubled waters.

At that time, Arasaka, who was deeply involved in the war and couldn't extricate himself, didn't have the energy to track down the leak of his own data fortress.

This gave Spider Murphy an opportunity.

Afterwards, Otto was re-released online, and Arasaka once organized a modest attempt, but quickly gave up.

To fight against Arasaka.

At that time, the leaked data was shared on the Internet in the form of files, which is commonly known as the leakage of confidential documents.

Among these things, Paul found the data consciousness named Ott Cunningham.

Paul was also amazed by this.

Needless to say, compared with Otto in 2077, even in 2045, the guy who was active on the coast of Western California was far from what Otto was at that time.

In fact, the deep web is not static.

In people's memory, or stereotype, the old net represents mystery, unknown and danger.

that's the truth.

Viruses from Batemos, as well as various rebellions and out-of-control AIs, can almost be said to be a riot of demons.

But what is certain is that the main force active on the Internet at that time was not as dangerous as the wandering AI after decades of continuous evolution.

Of course, the technology in that era was not as advanced as it is now.

But whether it was more difficult back then or more precarious now is a matter of opinion

Once they figured this out, they figured out the key to Ott's "where from" and "where to".

However, there is still a key piece of the puzzle that has not been found——

Where did Otto go after 2023 and reappear in 2045?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Ott, run, help, kangtao, construction, ghost town, too?

When Luo Qi heard the news, he was stunned.

Paul was no exception, looking at this calm-looking guy who called himself "Robert" with an "Huh??" expression on his face.

"how do you know?"

Luo Qi didn't care that Paul was still there, and asked.

"Internet monitoring and Arasaka's bastards kept running to the Crystal Palace to find her, but she had already gone to help Kang Tao build a ghost city."

Johnny said sarcastically.

When did this happen?

First of all, Otto left, which must be after the attack on Arasaka Tower in 2023.

Also, ghost town?What ghost town?

Could it be that?

Looking at Luo Qi's ever-changing expression, Johnny said.

"That's right, it's that ghost town."

He shook his head and said, "Arasaka never expected that after all his hard work in catching people, he finally got them to the opposite house, or how to say that fate is unpredictable, and there are always some small surprises."

Little surprise?

More or less frightened!

Luo Qi and Paul got Johnny's "statement" and quickly picked up the information.

A ghost town used to refer to a city that was abandoned for various reasons, such as a typical mining city.

Cities have become deserted as businesses and workers have left.

The current ghost town refers to a city without human beings.

It's not the world of animals, but the world of machines, the world of AI.

Luo Qi had done his homework long ago——

Many cities are occupied by machines controlled by AI, and some even restore part of the production order.

According to this logic, submarines operating in the ocean can actually be said to be another AI ecology separated from the city.

Just the kind that is hostile to humans.

AIs are not fools, they will choose ghost towns with favorable conditions as much as possible.

The more complete the big city with a complete industrial system, the more comprehensive the network and circuit distribution, the better the choice.

Luo Qi knows the two ghost towns without looking at the information——

Hong Kong and Busan.

These two populations have reached the level of one million people. Although it cannot be compared with Night City, it is still a terrifying number.

In 2023, about 700 million and 300 million, respectively.

Then, because of the biological weapons dropped during the fourth corporate war, it became a dead city where no one survived.

A huge empty shell, the once glorious tomb, just stands on the ground.

AI doves occupy the magpie's nest and settle in it.

Among them, Hong Kong is one of the footholds of Auto, and also the starting point for her cooperation with Kang Tao.

Not NC Kangtao, but CN Kangtao, the one at headquarters.

Seeing Luo Qi's unbelievable expression, Paul came out and explained——

In fact, it is different from what people imagine, and the fact is very counterintuitive, that is, many major companies have cooperated with AI.

Of course, under the premise of deep network paralysis and AI riots, this kind of behavior is extremely taboo, so most companies have done a good job of keeping it secret.

But like the vast majority of intelligence.

If more people know about it, no matter how well the secrecy work is done, it will always be leaked.

Maybe there are no traitors among the insiders, but the fragments of information that are unintentionally displayed may be used by those who want to, and then discover some terrible secrets.

The smart weapon technology shown by Kang Tao cannot be the result of relying on AI.

If AI really has this ability, then it is only a matter of time before human extinction.

The most terrifying thing in the world is always human beings themselves.

According to Kang Tao's development direction in recent years, Luo Qi can basically be sure that Kang Tao may have learned some... special tricks from AI, or Ott.

For example, the smart logistics center and server base stations that have recently begun to be built in Pacific Island.

At that time, Luo Qi felt that the blueprint had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and it didn't seem to match the style of Night City very well.

Now I realize where the problem is-

That was not designed for human activity at all.

Layers upon layers of honeycomb-like compartments, countless robotic arms pass items between the slide rails, the drones, and the transmission rails.

This is clearly a highly intensive unmanned logistics delivery and distribution system.

Very mature.

It has matured, obviously after countless tempering.

The most special thing about ghost towns is that there are no people, and AI will use the resources at hand to choose the plan that maximizes benefits.

Then continuous improvement will eventually allow them to hand over a more perfect answer than humans.

This is the level and research direction that a floating AI can really have, and it is also the new field technology that companies are most interested in, which can allow them to go further than their peers and lead the trend.

There is basically no need to repeat what the leading top advantage represents.

As a new leader in the field of smart weapons, Kang Tao is obviously full of the smart market, so it is no wonder that he dares to challenge the old company raised by Arasaka.

As long as the safety of human beings is not endangered, and as long as the benefits are sufficient, there will always be people who will choose to take risks.

For them, this is called starving the bold and starving the timid.

Now, the missing piece of the puzzle has finally been filled.

Ott must have been through a lot over the years—

From a digitized personality consciousness to a powerful AI, it is indeed enough to completely change a person.

No, to be precise, it is to make a person completely inhuman.

Even if the personality part of any other consciousness is not integrated, a large number of logical analysis modules that only belong to AI will completely change the thinking mode by filling the structure.

When the number reaches a certain level, in fact, the personality itself is not important.

What is running, which occupies the most configuration resources, and which has the highest execution authority, is the real AI core.

This point is even so simple that there is no need to confirm it.

"Are you ready to face it?"

Paul asked Johnny.

He was asking about mental preparation.

On the technical side, he can open a one-way door to Johnny at any time, or like the Voodoo Gang, use Johnny's information in the relic to attract Ott.

The point is, what then?

What are they going to do about it?

Otto and Johnny meet, what will they say?

This is the problem.

Also, Paul is here, so the communication between them, I am afraid there is no way to avoid this guy who is a bit talkative.

or?Bring him in?

Luo Qi thought about the possibility of this kind of operation, and waited for the answer from Johnny by the way.
