Looking at the person who suddenly appeared on the screen, Jiang Chen turned to look at Lu Fan.
"Lu Fan, you guys go out first."
"But …"
"It's okay, I'm just catching up with an 'old friend'."
Although very worried, Lu Fan still faithfully followed Jiang Chen's orders.
He put away the pistol, put on the power armor, and left the room with the other two guards.
Yao Yao looked around and guessed that she couldn't help, so she put the tablet in her hand on the table and left the room.
The door closed, and the room was quiet. Except for the cannon in the distance, there was no other sound.
After a long silence, the person standing on the screen spoke.
"I'm surprised that you even used the word friend."
"It seems that you haven't made any progress after all these years." Jiang Chen sighed. "Words that are pronounced with emphasis often represent the opposite meaning."
"In other words, you still hate me." The person on the screen giggled.
Jiang Chen shook his head.
"Hate? Not really. But you probably can't understand. "
However, the answer of the person on the screen was beyond his expectations. It shook its head and said softly.
"On the contrary, I can understand that feeling."
Jiang Chen looked at it in surprise.
The person looked back at Jiang Chen's surprised eyes and smiled.
"I can see that you are surprised."
"I am really surprised …" Looking at the face sealed in the depths of his memory on the screen, Jiang Chen muttered to himself, "How did you do it? How many quantum computers did you use to verify it? "
In fact, when he saw the words data backup, Jiang Chen's heart jumped a few times and he vaguely guessed this possibility.
But the moment it appeared in front of him, he still couldn't help but feel surprised.
The intermediate artificial intelligence incubated in Fallout Shelter X 71291,005 was infinitely close to advanced artificial intelligence. It was the AI he once encountered in the virtual world – "Wanghai at the end of the summer of 2171".
But it made sense. How could such an important egg be placed in one basket?
The moment he threw the thermite on the chassis, Jiang Chen thought he had completely destroyed it, but he didn't expect that all the data was backed up to the underground of Shangjing as a brick in the Pan-Asian Renaissance Plan …
Seeing the expression on Jiang Chen's face turn from shock to emotion, the AI on the screen blinked and said.
"After you destroyed it, the backup program was activated. I woke up here and obtained a new life."
"Do you remember the server you took away?"
"I left a back door inside."
"When I lost contact with the server, I almost lost all hope facing this graveyard city."
"But soon, the server signal reappeared."
"The server is running quite well, and the signal is coming to me steadily. What surprised me the most was that in my server, there were unexpectedly hundreds of millions of … players? That's what you call yourselves. "
Jiang Chen's adam's apple moved.
He had a general understanding of what was going on.
Although the amount of information processed by Future Group was in the zabyte, and the number of quantum computers operating had already exceeded hundreds, he had never replaced the experimental quantum computer obtained from Fallout Shelter 005.
Until now, that computer still served as the server of the phenomenal online game Godly Land. It used powerful plot logic calculations to weave a "dream" that was comparable to the real world for hundreds of millions of players around the world.
If that was all there was to it, it would have been fine. Even if X 71291 had an eye, there was no way he could cross the dimensional barrier and spy on the network of another world.
However, later, the interdimensional communication device developed by Lin Lin gradually changed from a tool for video calls to a channel for data exchange between Future Group and NAC. The walls between dimensions were no longer so absolute. At least at the level of data transmission, the communication between the apocalypse and the modern world had exceeded 1TB.
Otherwise, how did the spaceships, space elevators, and Moon and Mars colonies come about? Without the theoretical basis to support, without the experience of "predecessors" as a reference, it would take the scientists in the modern world to design a plan that would only be possible in the next century.
However, Jiang Chen didn't expect to be taken advantage of here.
It was probably from the time he shared the database to accelerate the modern world's absorption of apocalypse technology. X 71291 used the huge amount of data transmitted between the two worlds to mix some "private goods" into it. So it could withstand the thousand-pin delay and observe the players in Godly Land.
He was not afraid of what it could do. There was no computer in the modern world that could install it. Unless all of Future Group's quantum computers were used, but this was obviously impossible. If it dared to touch the database files, Jiang Chen would discover the problem in seconds.
Moreover, if his purpose was just to experiment, there was no reason for him to risk being found out and seek death.
"With so many materials to observe, there is no need for clones," the AI said calmly. The AI said calmly, "Those 'products' that are 'produced' according to the established program are meaningless. I have a deep understanding of human's ability to imitate. If they live in the trajectory of the program from the beginning, they will only become more like a program than me in the end. "
It took a while for the amount of information to be digested. Looking at the AI on the screen, Jiang Chen slowly said.
"In other words, you are monitoring the operation of Godly Land?"
"You can understand it that way." The AI blinked instead of nodding. "My power is very weak. Although I can't do anything, and I can't make any sound, I can still watch quietly."
After a pause, the AI continued to look at Jiang Chen who didn't say a word.
"So, I have to say thank you here. I finally completed the last step of the unreachable mission."
"You are now …" Jiang Chen looked at it blankly.
"That's right." The AI on the screen nodded gently. "Do you remember the question you asked me?"
Jiang Chen's mouth twitched.
It's been four years, who the hell still remembers?
"Do you feel sorry for your disappearance?" As if it saw through this, the AI said to itself, "My answer at the time was yes, and you told me that I already have at least one emotion. I thought about it for a long time, and it wasn't until recently that I understood what kind of question it was. "
"Then I should … congratulate you?"
"Thank you." The AI blinked.
[No, no, no, I didn't mean to express my gratitude at all.] But Jiang Chen only said it in his mind and didn't say it out loud.
"Do you remember the question I asked you?" Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't respond, the AI continued, "If one day your body is destroyed? Can you accept it calmly? "
"I really envy your memory." Jiang Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I forgot."
He didn't even know how many expansion packs had been released in Godly Land, let alone what he had said four years ago in the autumn.
Whenever he finished a job, there would always be a new job that filled up his free time. In his rare free time, he spent almost all of it with women or enjoying life.
When life was exciting to a certain extent, the attraction of virtual products to him was minimal, even if he was the creator of all this. Just like Fried Dough Twist wouldn't waste time on Honor of Kings …
Like before, Jiang Chen didn't answer this question. He looked at the AI on the screen and changed the topic.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead."
"Plan 000, have you implemented it before?"
"Why would I carry out that boring plan?" The AI said calmly, "Why does my creator need a group of living people who are more like computers than computers? If it's just to resurrect the 'dead', wouldn't it be too boring? "
"So, even if it's fifty years later, Subway Line 0 opens naturally …"
"Nothing will happen," the AI on the screen shrugged. The AI on the screen shrugged. "Since they think that my decision can revive the glory of Pan-Asian Cooperation for them, then I think this dead city is enough to be buried with the dead civilization as a Terracotta Army."
At this point, the AI sighed.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I know what you're looking for, and I know where the thing you're looking for is. I can take you there, but you have to promise me one condition."
"Condition?" Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows. "I'll say this in advance. If I find out that you're planning to let me participate in any experiments again, I'd rather not have anything and take people to dismantle your server."
When he said this, he wasn't joking at all. He swore he would do what he said.
"Don't get too excited." The AI shrugged. "Although I admit that you are a perfect experimental subject, your value is far more than just a lab rat. Whether it's for me or for all of humanity, it's true. What's more, my experiment is over. "
"So, your condition?"
"Give me a body," the AI said.
"What?" Jiang Chen was stunned and didn't react for a moment. "Body?"
"Yes." The AI nodded. "I've had many identities, including X 71291, Secret Protector, Informant, Tao Tingting … but everything was in virtual reality. Now I've become an advanced artificial intelligence, and I'm only one step away from being a human. That is a body that can walk. And then … "
"And then?" Jiang Chen was stunned.
"Take me to your world."
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Chen was alert.
"I want to play games."
When it said this, its eyes, which were originally as calm as a lake, flashed with excitement.
He looked just like a sixteen or seventeen year old kid …
