"There's no way to open it? That's impossible, "Hoffman said. Hoffman said, "Although this personal computer is my personal belonging, the company definitely has the authority to open it."
"But since we're already here, aren't you going to turn on your personal computer to check?" Li Huailin said. "You're right, the other party does have the authority, but what if this authority is invalid?"
"Invalid authority? How can it be invalid?" Hoffman asked.
"If this central server is paralyzed, the authority will be invalid," Li Huailin said.
"Are you saying that someone destroyed this central server?" Hoffman asked.
"Or rather, this central server did it by itself," Li Huailin said.
"Did it by itself?" Hoffman was stunned. "No, you mean …"
"Since there are already NPCs with self-awareness, as the creator of these NPCs, what's the situation with this central server?" Li Huailin said as he spread his hands. "If the creation of those NPCs is the result of the central server doing some experiments, and you guys wanted to eliminate them after discovering them, then the central server stopped you from doing so. This explanation seems to make sense too."
"This … This … If that's the case …" Hoffman was a little shocked. Yes, wouldn't something terrible happen in such a situation? Yes, this central server was going to be the server of the second world for humans. If the central server of the main system developed its own consciousness, wouldn't it mean that it was going to enslave the entire human race?
"Of course, this is just one of my guesses. If it's possible, I don't want such a terrible thing to happen," Li Huailin said as he spread his hands.
"No, no, no. Now that you mention it, I'm really a little worried that this will happen," Hoffman said. Hoffman said, "In that case, could it be that the people in this central administration room have been … Indeed, if it's the central server itself, it would be able to do that …"
"Calm down," Li Huailin said. "Even if that's the case, what can we do now?"
"This …" Hoffman was also slightly stunned. It seemed that he really didn't know what to do. They didn't even know what was going on here. How would they know what to do?
Li Huailin also analyzed a little. At present, he had obtained a lot of information. From what he knew now, the most puzzling thing was how this server was discovered on the dark side of the moon. Yes, according to Hoffman, the server was produced 200 years later, but it had been around for at least a hundred years. Although Zhang Youdong and the rest didn't discover its location, they were still connected to the server. So, how did it get there? Was it a spacetime jump?
"Was it possible to jump through time and space in your era?" Li Huailin asked Hoffman directly.
"Space-time jump?" Hoffman was stunned. "Was it proven to be impossible a few hundred years ago? It should have been proven in your era. "
Of course, Li Huailin didn't know if it was proven or not. Anyway, judging from Hoffman's tone, it was still impossible to perform a space-time jump even in his era. In that case, the origin of this thing was even stranger … Or was the chronological order that Li Huailin thought was actually wrong?
Yes, Li Huailin thought for a while. Although this machine was said to be made by the park company, the problem was … Who knew if this thing was made by the park company? Hoffman didn't participate in the production. So, could it be that this thing was already here from the beginning, but after the invasion of the war machines, no one cared about this server. After a period of time, the people of the park company found this thing again, and thus pulled it out for use. Thinking about it that way, it was more likely. After all, no one knew who made those war machines. Even humans 200 years later wouldn't be able to make that kind of thing.
Thinking about it this way, the appearance of this server here was not caused by the park company. In that case, their purpose was still very strange. Why would they pull this server out for use again? Now that it was clear that these war machines should be related to this server, it could be said that the cause of the "great crisis" that Hoffman mentioned was this server. The government should know about this matter, and yet they still brought this dangerous thing out. Weren't they afraid of causing a second great crisis? Saving energy? Li Huailin expressed that he really didn't believe this.
There was also the so-called screening system that Hoffman mentioned. This was also a very strange situation. Previously, Li Huailin also said that the government couldn't do this. So, who was it? The consciousness of the server itself?
Yes, Li Huailin suddenly thought of someone who might have done that. If the screening system was made by the consciousness of the server itself, it seemed possible, but what was its purpose? Most importantly, there was a clear difference between Hoffman's statement and the situation that Li Huailin now knew. Hoffman said that the Ark Project was to select a group of suitable humans, but there should only be one person selected in the end for the world trial. The number was also very strange.
Another thing that made Li Huailin feel strange was the control core of the robot. Yes, Lin Li's future self had mentioned this thing to him before. According to his future self, this thing was a combination of several fragments. Now, it seemed that these fragments were referring to the divine sword. Literally speaking, this thing could also control those war machines. That was what Li Huailin thought before. However, the current situation was that Hoffman said that the robots had gone out of control, and then almost wiped out the humans. Who was the one controlling them? Lin Li's future self must have come into contact with the controller before. So, did he control the robots and almost destroy the world? However, Li Huailin couldn't figure out the reason himself. There was no need for him to destroy the world, right?
However, what did this matter have to do with the choice? Yes, Lin Li's future self had warned him about two things when he appeared. The first was the choice, and the second was the control core of the robot. It seemed that these two things were equally important. Hence, Li Huailin guessed that the control core of the robot should be able to operate the robot, but the authority to operate it might have something to do with the choice.
"This is really a headache." After thinking for a while, Li Huailin expressed that he really had a headache. Saving the world really required a lot of brainpower, especially in the current situation where he didn't know much about the information. He really had to guess everything. There were too many possible situations now, and Li Huailin couldn't guess them at all. In that case, he'd better wait for the position of the choice to be obtained first. By then, he should know everything.
"I've checked, and there's no problem with the main AI at present." Just as Li Huailin was still thinking, Hoffman, who was next to him, returned. Yes, what Li Huailin said previously made him a little nervous. What if the central AI really had some self-awareness and wanted to destroy humans? Hence, he also checked a little, and found that there didn't seem to be any major problems with the current situation. Everything looked relatively normal.
"That's why I said it's just a guess," Li Huailin said. "Is there a main control room or something like that here?"
"Yes, but it's upstairs," Hoffman said. "You know that I can't go up with my authority."
"Why can't you do anything? What's the use of having you?" Li Huailin facepalmed. "Do you have any DNA information of other executives?"
"Sigh … This …" Hoffman touched his head, and it was obvious that he didn't have any.
Li Huailin really wanted to go upstairs to take a look. After all, he couldn't get any useful information from the second floor. It seemed that the third floor was the main focus. However, the problem now was that he couldn't go up. That was really troublesome. If someone had saved their DNA information like Hoffman, they might be able to go up directly if they cloned another person, but …
"Wait, if this is a project that the government is involved in, it means that there are many people in the government who have authority, right?" Li Huailin said, "Are there any of them who have hibernated for a long time? For example, those who started hibernating in my era."
"This … It seems that hibernation technology wasn't very perfect in your era," Hoffman said.
"Do you have a list of the senior executives?" Li Huailin asked.
"Oh, I do have this." Hoffman pointed to the side, and the screen of his personal computer flashed. Soon, Li Huailin saw a holographic projection appearing in front of him. Hoffman also operated a little, and soon, Li Huailin saw a list.
"This is the list of our company's personnel. Look at it." Hoffman pointed to the top row, and said, "The chief engineer at the top is the company's CEO and other management personnel. Above that is the board of directors. The members of the board of directors should be the representatives of the government. These people have authority to go up to the third floor."
Li Huailin glanced at the list. Of course, he had never heard of these names before. However, there was nothing strange about it. Li Huailin just noted down the names and asked someone to check. Although he didn't have much hope, he still wanted to give it a try. While looking, Li Huailin suddenly saw a Chinese name. Of course, if he wanted to find someone, it would be the easiest to find someone from Hua Xia. Hence, Li Huailin asked, "This person called Liu Yanjun …"
"Oh, this is Hua Xia's man. He's Liu Heyun's son."
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned.
