"How could this be?"
"Are you serious? You're not lying, are you? "
"You can get in, but you can't get out. Who are you going to reason with?"
In the beginning, people all over the world were skeptical and wait-and-see about the news.
After all, there were already 50 million players lying unconscious on the ground. Who would rashly go in again?
Huo Shaoheng and Lu Jin were carefully evaluating the feasibility of the news.
After the news that Gu Nianzhi had been tricked spread, an endless stream of people came to see her.
Most of them were blocked by Yin Shixiong.
Only a very few people could actually see her.
For example, the second-in-command of the Russian KGB, Vladimir.
He had brought Peter and Lina, who had returned from the Cayman Islands.
Huo Shaoheng heard that he was here, so he went to see him with Lu Jin.
Vladimir stood in the living room of Huo Shaoheng's official residence and kept looking around.
Peter, on the other hand, still looked sleepy. His eyelids were drooping, but his expression was a little different from before.
Huo Shaoheng walked in and looked away from Peter without batting an eyelid. He nodded at the KGB's new Lina before shaking hands with Vladimir.
Vladimir retracted his gaze and said seriously, "How is Nianzhi? Why is she trapped in the game too? Didn't I send her a message? "
"It's because of your message." Huo Shaoheng led him upstairs and said calmly, "We might have alerted the enemy."
"How could that be!" Vladimir would never agree. "Our people have always been reliable!"
"Reliable?" Huo Shaoheng glanced at him sharply. "Do you dare to ask your people to elaborate on the details? How exactly did they operate in the Cayman Islands? "
Vladimir felt a little guilty for no reason.
Peter had, of course, reported to him every detail of the operation.
However, he didn't tell Gu Nianzhi the details at the time.
When he saw Gu Nianzhi lying on the bed lifelessly, Vladimir finally couldn't bear to tell Huo Shaoheng some details that couldn't be told to outsiders.
"… Actually, it was very smooth and normal at the beginning. The accident happened after they went down."
At this point, Vladimir didn't hide anything anymore. The most important thing now was to wake Gu Nianzhi up.
He called out to Peter, "You tell me."
Pyotr glanced at Vladimir as if he was hesitating.
This was against KGB discipline, so he had to be careful.
Vladimir said, "It's okay. You say it. I asked you to say it."
Peter composed himself and began to describe what he saw in the underground of the online gaming company's headquarters.
When Huo Shaoheng heard about the "robot" warriors that could move freely, he was slightly moved and asked in surprise, "Are they really robots? Are you sure? "
Peter calmly took out a flash drive. "We've recorded the entire operation. This is the video. Take a look at it yourself."
Vladimir nodded and said, "Indeed. We've all seen it. Its artificial intelligence is indeed very high. "
Huo Shaoheng took the flash drive and said calmly, "Thank you."
At first, he didn't think much of it.
After Vladimir left with Peter and Lina, Huo Shaoheng, Lu Jin, Lu Yuan, and Song Jinning watched the video of the operation that Peter had given him.
When he saw the four robots attacking Peter with guns, Lu Jin's face turned ashen and he muttered, "… It's really a highly intelligent AI?!"
He was an expert, and he could tell at a glance that the four robots weren't simple robots.
Judging from their individual actions and cooperation, the other party's artificial intelligence had indeed reached a very high level.
It was indeed a matter of minutes to breed real artificial intelligence at this level!
Huo Shaoheng was also a computer expert. His uneasiness grew after he saw the video of the operation.
Song Jinning was even more worried. "What should we do? If it's really artificial intelligence, it'll be difficult to deal with. "
"If it's a human, it still has weaknesses."
"But if the opponent is artificial intelligence, then it's really invulnerable."
Lu Jin retorted angrily, "Wrong! If it's a real artificial intelligence, then it's not invulnerable! "
"Because a real artificial intelligence is infinitely close to a human existence!" He pointed at his brain. "Humans have weaknesses, and so do a real artificial intelligence!"
Lu Yuan patted Song Jinning's hand to tell her not to be angry. He said to Lu Jin, "This is really like a paradox."
"If a real artificial intelligence is infinitely close to a human existence, so it will also have weaknesses, then why did humans develop artificial intelligence?"
"Whether you admit it or not, artificial intelligence is an evolution of machinery. It may have weaknesses, but they won't be as obvious as humans."
"Moreover, it has many irreplaceable advantages compared to humans."
"For example, it can work 24 hours a day without sleep. Can humans do that?"
"As long as there's energy, it will always operate at high efficiency. Can humans do that?"
Lu Jin was tongue-tied and said resentfully, "You also said that it has to have energy! Unplug its power supply … "
"Unplug its power supply, and 50 million players will die with it. Is that what you want?" Lu Yuan raised his voice and his expression was very serious. "Lu Jin, I hope you can face up to this reality. Whether you admit it or not, there are people who are better at computers than you are."
"It's impossible for them to be better than me. At most, they're the same height as me!" Lu Jin retorted in a low voice, but he didn't continue to be smug in front of the angry Lu Yuan.
And it was indeed the truth in front of him.
He hadn't broken into the port before, and now he couldn't figure out the other party's routine.
Huo Shaoheng listened for a long time and said calmly, "In that case, I'd better go in and take a look."
"No." This time, Lu Yuan and Lu Jin refused together. "You can't go. If something happens to you, how are we going to explain it to others?"
However, no one could stop Huo Shaoheng from making a decision.
Five minutes later, he was already in his study, putting on his VR gaming helmet.
Song Jinning looked at him worriedly. "Shaoheng, you have to be careful …"
Lu Jin sat in front of the computer and operated the game interface, wanting to give him the most possible guarantee.
Lu Yuan, on the other hand, protected him. As long as he felt the slightest discomfort, he would immediately forcefully disconnect his helmet.
However, after Huo Shaoheng put on the game helmet, he couldn't log into the game at all.
"What's going on? Is that AI lying? "
"Didn't they say that the game has already been released? There's still a grand prize … "
Lu Jin frowned and kept switching between the game interface and the forum.
It didn't take long for him to realize what was going on.
"… Based on the current situation, the only people who can log into the game to save people are the direct blood relatives of the 50 million players, such as parents and children." He looked up at Huo Shaoheng. "No one else can enter."
This meant that ordinary blood relatives couldn't go in. Only the most direct and closest blood relatives like parents or children could go in.
However, under such harsh selection conditions and the possibility of being unconscious forever, even if there was a huge reward, those who were willing to risk their lives were the closest blood relatives of the players, in other words, their parents. There were very few children who were willing to go in.
This was because most of the 50 million players were young people, and many of them didn't have children yet.
A few of them were older and retired. They had a lot of time to spend in the game.
Lu Jin walked out from behind his desk and reached out his hand to Huo Shaoheng. "Give me the helmet. I'll go in and take a look."
"No!" Huo Shaoheng, Lu Yuan, and Song Jinning refused in unison.
"I'm the only one who can go in this situation! And I'm very curious. I want to see how the other party developed such artificial intelligence. "Lu Jin was very calm." And if Nianzhi doesn't wake up, I won't give up on any possibility. "
He didn't care about the grand prize, but being able to see the situation for himself was definitely the best strategy.
"My problem is that I underestimated this game," Lu Jin said stubbornly. "If I had gone inside with Nianzhi to play, I wouldn't be like this now."
However, the consequences of Lu Jin going in were too serious.
Huo Shaoheng and Lu Yuan subconsciously stopped him.
Song Jinning's first reaction was also to refuse until Lu Jin asked her, "Ms. Song, if Shaoheng was the one who was trapped inside, and Shaoheng only had one direct blood relative, would you save him?"
Song Jinning was speechless.
She took a deep breath and nodded. She said hoarsely to Lu Yuan and Huo Shaoheng, "Let General Lu go in and take a look. If there's really someone who can save Nianzhi, then it's General Lu."
Huo Shaoheng and Lu Yuan looked at each other and then looked away.
"I can't make the decision myself. I'll report it to General Ji. If General Ji agrees, I have no objections. "Huo Shaoheng's voice was also a little stiff.
He quickly called General Ji.
General Ji's first reaction was to refuse, but when Lu Jin repeated the same reason he had told Song Jinning, General Ji didn't continue to stop him.
"Then General Lu, you must be careful. Nothing must happen to you. If something happens to you, no one will be able to save Nianzhi." General Ji could only earnestly tell Lu Jin to be careful.
Lu Jin said very seriously, "I know. I don't need you to tell me that. I'm my girl's only support. "
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
These words sounded a little heart-wrenching.
He played with the round gold coin in his hand and sat in the study noncommittally as he watched Lu Jin put on Huo Shaoheng's VR gaming helmet.
This time, after the game was connected, Lu Jin successfully logged into the game. It wasn't like Huo Shaoheng's last time, where he was directly turned away.
He was wearing a special pair of glasses and a gaming helmet that he had designed himself.
From the technical conditions they knew, the "immersive" game effect of VR games was actually the image that appeared on the small visual screen inside the gaming helmet. It could deceive people's eyes and form a three-dimensional visual effect, just like watching a 3D movie.
With special glasses, one could see the almost three-dimensional image.
However, this kind of image could only be seen by people wearing 3D glasses. No one else could see it without glasses.
The special glasses that Lu Jin had designed were a precise simulation of the human eye's imaging function. Moreover, the function was better than the human eye's, and it could be directly recorded live.
In other words, he had also "deceived" the VR gaming helmet and directly transferred the image on the small visual screen of the gaming helmet to the TV screen outside.
As soon as Lu Jin logged into the game, the wall-mounted TV on the wall of Huo Shaoheng's study turned on.
Whatever he saw in the game, it would be played on the TV.
"Hello, welcome to the Second
Life game space. You can do whatever you want here. Of course, you can also find the person you want. "
"Don't forget, there's still a grand prize to split!"
"Good luck!"
A familiar female voice was heard. It was the voice of Apple's Siri that many people were very familiar with …
On the TV screen, what appeared was no longer the login interface that looked like a small room from before. Instead, it was a geometric space with countless lines crisscrossing.
Lu Jin's figure seemed very small in this vast geometric space, like corn to the sea, and man to the universe.
The four directions made up the universe, and from ancient times until now made up the universe.
This was the universe.
Lu Jin himself stood in the infinite geometric figure. He looked up at the geometric lines that rose and fell around him, and his eyes widened.
This game was now simulating a high-dimensional space!
