Lin Sanjiu was startled when she suddenly remembered something and exhaled again, her expression relaxing.
She almost forgot.
To be honest, this is just a memory of the puppet master. In other words, everything that happened here has already happened once - presumably the puppet master also took the initiative to go to the governor with his friends back then, and he is still alive.
is back; in that case, she has nothing to worry about.
Regardless of whether he can be found or not, he will always come back; taking advantage of this opportunity, she can get to know the world better and maybe find a way to escape.
It is not easy to ask the young man what is happening in this world. Several evolvers who had a chance encounter with Lin Sanjiu have all died outside Yunshou Nine Cities, including the one who was
She took off her pants, and among the less than twenty remaining evolvers, no one knew about the doomsday world of reincarnation.
Fortunately, she had won a lot of trust with her actions just now. Although the young man was full of doubts about her, he still answered her questions accurately.
The first thing that shocked Lin Sanjiu was that the world did not usher in a real end.
It can even be said that the world has never been so clean, efficient, developed and ideal as it is today.
When she just heard this sentence, she looked at the abandoned buildings and streets, the corpses outside, the overturned and smashed cars and trains, and almost suspected that she had heard it wrong - but then she understood it.
The meaning of young men.
"This world is not over. It's just us humans." The young man had changed places and was sitting in the corner with his back against the inner city wall. He took out a crumpled cigarette from somewhere. "You.
Fortunately, we, Yun Shou Jiucheng, are here. This city has always been small in size, with a small population, dilapidated and backward. It has always been a slum-like place... But it is precisely because of this that Yun Shou Jiucheng escaped.
Their attention was at least barely maintained."
"They?" Lin Sanjiu caught the word immediately, "Are they the law enforcers?"
The young man looked at her in surprise and even forgot to shake the ashes from his cigarette.
"Are you a vegetable that just woke up?" He smiled bitterly, as if he was too lazy to get to the bottom of it, "Forget it, other than me being so heartless, no one else would have the heart to tell you history... Sit down
alright."
Two hundred years ago, the world's technological development happened to enter a relatively developed stage. During this stage, artificial intelligence technology was greatly developed for various reasons and accidents. After a period of time, people with deep learning capabilities
Artificial intelligence technology and neural networks have achieved a series of amazing breakthroughs, reaching a level that humans have never expected in just a few decades -
"That was the best century." The young man blew out a puff of smoke, and the smell of inferior cigarettes spread pungently. "No human being needs to work - oh, except for politicians. Artificial intelligence has learned
All human technologies have replaced all human labor. Anything you can think of can be perfectly replaced. Not to mention driving, mining, oil extraction, etc., but also national defense, military affairs, technology, medicine, and even music and novels, etc.
When it comes to work, they can do it better than humans..."
"Can you also do music and novels?" Lin Sanjiu's eyes widened.
"Of course, all great works have traces to follow." The young man glanced at her and didn't understand why she was so surprised by this: "After artificial intelligence masters the rules, it can create different works in different ways...
…Ah? Are you asking? It’s pretty good. The average level is higher than what people can do, and there are as many as you want. Before we were purged, I still had a lot of albums from the 54ai band at home.”
"Cleaning?"
The young man seemed to be used to her not knowing anything: "In that golden century, all production was handed over to artificial intelligence. Soon, even further research on artificial intelligence itself was handed over to artificial intelligence...
Everyone only needs to stay at home and receive a sum of money from the government every month, which is basically enough to maintain a moderate standard of living, so the society can also maintain stability. Of course, there are still some symbolic jobs.
, but it doesn’t make much difference whether you do it or not.”
Lin Sanjiu could not imagine such a society with extremely rich materials.
It stands to reason that as long as there is no problem with artificial intelligence, this place will be a utopia.
"Didn't you find the problem?" The young man looked at her and smiled bitterly: "That's right, we haven't found the problem for so many years...no one in the whole world has."
"Artificial intelligence... has completely replaced citizens." He looked at his hands and said in a low voice: "For a state machine, what are citizens? They are just population resources. We create value and promote the economy, they are labor and soldiers...
…But the country soon discovered that artificial intelligence far exceeded the value that humans could contribute.”
"They are absolutely obedient, efficient, accurate, and are constantly upgrading. The most important thing is that human troubles such as crime, ideological trends, and equality will never appear to them. In other words, every one of them will
The country is equivalent to raising a large amount of waste that is useless and only causes trouble. Raising a cow can produce milk, raising a chicken can lay eggs, but raising a human can only produce feces."
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but shudder - she originally thought that the artificial intelligence in this world had thoughts, so it launched an attack on humans like many movies, but now she felt vaguely that she was wrong.
"Do you need me to continue?" The young man smiled slightly, but there was no smile at all in his eyes. "At the beginning, it was just a sudden tightening of the law... No matter what the crime, once confirmed, all will be executed. This way
Come on, even human judges are useless, so they have to collect living allowances with us. Later, they put out a list. Except for senior officials and top scientific researchers, other citizens are not allowed to have children until they have been tested and obtained permission. It is illegal.
All children must be humanely destroyed.”
"We also resisted, but what's the use? We have no weapons, and even food must be distributed by the government. Once trouble occurs, it is artificial intelligence that suppresses the unrest... They do not need to show up at all, they only need to fly
In the past, it was enough to drop bombs from the air. Anyway, according to the new law, participating in unrest is a capital offense. By the time we found out that we had lost all the bargaining price, it was already too late, and we could only let others take advantage of us."
Lin Sanjiu said blankly: "You guys...then...could it be said that this is still the model of high-level government plus artificial intelligence?"
"That's right." The young man smiled, "When they gradually eliminated 90% of the human race in the world, some of us who were left behind began to evolve. I don't know if it was because of us.
Suddenly it became a difficult nut to crack, or because they no longer cared about our small group of people, the large-scale extermination operations stopped. Only some law enforcement officers would appear occasionally to control the population in a certain area - oh, yes
, those are also artificial intelligence.”
Lin Sanjiu was horrified: "Then what you call 'lost' means that a place is completely filled with artificial intelligence and there are no traces of humans anymore?"
"If you don't count the high-level government, yes."
"Then... then why did he go to see the Chief Administrative Officer?" Lin Sanjiu tried several times, but still couldn't pronounce the word "Ayun" and could only ask vaguely: "The Chief Administrative Officer should be here.
On the artificial intelligence side, right?”
"I don't know how many officials of that level have been killed by the top management." The young man sighed, "I understand him... If the law enforcer comes again, the entire population of our Nine Cities will be accounted for here. He is willing to take a gamble.
After retrieving the password and activating the city defense system, we finally have a chance of survival."
He had finished smoking his cigarette long ago, but he still held the butt of the cigarette and refused to let go.
"Whether Ayun can come back or not, he is still the hero of Nine Cities." He whispered blankly.
Asked Lin Sanjiu to imagine a hundred times, she couldn't portray a heroic puppet master. She thanked the young man and stood up blankly, wondering what would happen next and what she would do to lead the puppet master.
Let’s get rid of this memory together with the puppet master.
The corpses outside the city gate were still scattered in twos and threes, covering the ground. For a while, it seemed that no one had time to collect their corpses.
The evolvers who had collapsed on the ground just now got up one after another; people came out from the inner city and seemed to persuade them for a while before finally helping them back - not long ago, the evolvers
The scene of rushing down the bluestone staircase is still vivid in my mind, and I am in high spirits.
An older woman also walked up to Lin Sanjiu and persuaded her to go into the city to take a bath and have a meal. Lin Sanjiu thought about it and agreed. It wasn't because of the meal - it was just that if the puppet master came back
He must have gone into the inner city, so she might as well wait for him inside.
But she didn't expect that she would have to wait for seventeen days.
In the scene created by the data body, Lin Sanjiu was not sure whether the seventeen days had actually passed; while she felt that she was going crazy because of the long wait, she also had a vague feeling that the data body was just going to
The speed of the sun's rise and set was just increased, and seventeen days passed in the blink of an eye - the two cognitions were inconsistent with each other, running rampant in her mind, and in the end she was even a little dizzy all day long, and she had lost all understanding.
Sensitive grasp of time.
On the eighteenth day, a group of figures gradually approached Yunshou Nine City from the horizon.
The people in the inner city observation room noticed something strange immediately - like frightened birds, all the evolvers immediately took action; with anxious and uneasy expressions on everyone's faces, they gathered at the city gate. There was no evolution.
The capable civilians were still hiding in the inner city, secretly praying that the person coming was not a law enforcer.
The person coming is not a law enforcer.
When those figures became clearer and clearer in the field of vision, Yunshou Jiucheng was silent for a few seconds in disbelief. A young man and a tall young man were carrying a boy with his head lowered, as if he had been injured.
As for the unconscious man, there was a girl in a short skirt walking beside them.
"People from Nine Cities, we have found the Commander-in-Chief! The Commander-in-Chief is here, he is still alive, and he has evolved!"
As the young man's clear voice echoed far away, he waved his arm towards the city gate. At this moment, the whole city suddenly fell into a frenzy of excitement and joy - like a tsunami of crazy cheers
The sound swept through the entire Yunshou Nine Cities in an instant; they seemed no longer afraid of attracting the attention of the government. In the excitement and hope, everyone had tears on their faces, letting the waves flow.
The sound echoed deafeningly through the sky.
Knowing that this matter had nothing to do with her, Lin Sanjiu still clenched her fists tightly, but she couldn't help being infected by this ecstasy and her heart beat faster. She did not walk up, but just kept looking at the fair-skinned boy from a distance.
He walked into the city gate with his two friends, and then fell to the ground with a thud.
They were already seriously injured.
The tall young man with disheveled hair could hardly maintain a hearty smile, because his entire upper body seemed to have been burned by electric fire, forming a black crust. Lin Sanjiu couldn't see it.
The girl's appearance was clear, because her whole body was soaked in blood, and every step she took would leave a bloody footprint.
The worst thing was probably the boy - half of the bones in his body were broken, and one of his calves was deformed and twisted to a shocking degree. It was hard to imagine how he carried another person step by step.
Walking back. In comparison, the chief officer's injuries seemed to be the least serious, but he was still unconscious and unable to wake up.
Fortunately, they are all still alive.
Lin Sanjiu watched the four of them being carefully carried on stretchers and sent into the inner city - there were no doctors with professional backgrounds in the inner city, just some Mongolian doctors in small clinics; but they were all evolvers.
, you can always get through it.
It seemed that the suffering was over.
However, somehow, Lin Sanjiu's heart sank deeper and deeper, as if she had been falling into a bottomless abyss.
