The director of the research institute lowered his head in front of Noah. His body trembled, and he didn't dare to speak.
He didn't know what kind of pressure Noah brought him to reveal such a cowardly appearance.
"Okay, Mr. Director, I still have to study the results of space expansion. It seems that I can't do it without myself.
In the next few days, don't disturb me. Take a good look at our masterpiece! "
"Okay, okay."
The conversation between the two of them ended unhappily just like that.
It was indeed very stressful to talk to a group of mutant kings in disguise.
After Noah left, the research director slumped to the ground. He didn't even have the courage to stand up and climb back to his seat.
He stretched out his wrist, and a wrist-shaped mark appeared on his arm.
It was a countdown.
24:13:23:11。
He … still had 24 days!
…
In Huizhou's Shuangpang City, the vice mayor, Liu Qi, returned home exhausted.
As the mayor, drinking and socializing were inevitable. Even if she was a woman, she was no exception.
Her busy work made her uninterested in life and socializing. She was already 40 years old, but she was still unmarried.
Compared to getting married and having children, it seemed that achievements in her work and career made her feel more satisfied.
"Go home and have a good rest. I heard from Assistant Li that the smart home equipment has been updated again. It's a good time to try it out."
The smart home equipment was a product of the Huizhou Research Institute.
As the crystallization of the wisdom and research of the entire Huizhou Research Institute, it was a true technological pearl.
Although it hadn't been properly promoted and sold, it had already spread within a small circle, especially among the upper class.
For a leader like Liu Qi, it was easy for the real management to get a set of smart home equipment.
After using it previously, Liu Qi was very satisfied with this smart home appliance.
The smart drive brought meticulous care, and it didn't expose her privacy or interfere with others.
She felt that her quality of life had improved.
This was perfect furniture. She didn't know what kind of content and effects would be updated this time.
Anyway, Liu Qi was looking forward to it.
Standing at the door of her house, Liu Qi said casually,
"Hey, butler, open the door for me."
[Smart identity verification successful. Voice pattern verification successful. Visual vibration verification successful. Opening the door for you.]
[Hello, Master. The smart butler has opened the door for you. The new mode is online. Do you want to experience it?]
Liu Qi knocked on the wall.
"Of course."
After saying that, Liu Qi casually threw the shoes to the side. The smart shoe cabinet immediately extended a mechanical arm and placed Liu Qi's shoes properly.
After agreeing to the smart mode, Liu Qi threw himself onto the sofa.
At the same time, he took out his phone and prepared to call Assistant Li to arrange the matters for tomorrow.
While taking off his clothes, he thoroughly enjoyed his own independent space.
[Roger that. Activating the new AI butler mode.]
[Detected that Master is in a drinking state. Preparing a suitable space for you.]
Liu Qi had already taken off his clothes and called Assistant Li twice, but he couldn't get through.
At this time, she suddenly shivered, and even her drunkenness sobered up a little.
"Why is it so cold?
Butler, turn off the air conditioner for me. "
[Sorry, command denied.]
"What's the situation? What right do you have to refuse my orders? I am the master of this house. "
Liu Qi felt that something was wrong. The cold made her very uncomfortable, so she put on her clothes.
He took out the air conditioner remote control from the drawer.
However, no matter how hard she pressed the remote control, the air conditioner did not respond. It was still cold!
"What the hell? Butler, I want you to obey my orders right now. "
[Detected that you are in a drunken state. To avoid making a mistake after drinking, voice commands are prohibited.]
"What the hell? I'm cold now. I'm cold. Do you hear me? "
Liu Qi, who was already in a drunken state, felt that something was wrong. The alcohol was mixed with an inexplicable feeling. This feeling was probably similar to fear?
Liu Qi did not understand why she was afraid. Perhaps she understood, but she was unwilling to admit it.
[Sorry, the butler believes that the current temperature is the best for the human body.]
At this time, the call to Assistant Li finally went through. Assistant Li on the other side of the phone asked,
"Sister Liu, what's the situation? Who are you talking to? "
"Assistant Li, there's a problem with the AI butler at home. How did you fix it?
It can't even understand human language now. I'm telling you, hurry up and fix it for me, or else … "
[Detected that you are in a drunken state. To protect your public opinion and privacy, and to reduce unreasonable information, the call has been terminated.]
"Hello? Hello? What did you do? You're crazy! "
[To protect you, the use of communication functions is prohibited.]
"Are you retarded? F * ck … "
Liu Qi began to curse. She directly smashed the remote control in her hand onto the screen of the AI butler.
[Detected aggressive emotions. Starting to play soothing music for you.]
"Good, good, you're awesome!"
Liu Qi walked directly to the network connection device and yanked, disconnecting the AI butler's network.
[Network connection failed …]
The air conditioner was turned off, and the phone had a signal again. Everything seemed to have returned to normal.
Seeing that everything seemed to have returned to normal, Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the phone suddenly rang.
"Hello? Mayor Liu, why did you suddenly hang up? "
Liu Qi did not hold back her anger in front of Assistant Li because an assistant was not a secretary.
Most of the time, the purpose of an assistant's existence was to let Liu Qi vent!
"Li Nan, the AI butler is like a retard after the update. You better give me a reasonable explanation tomorrow.
Otherwise, you don't have to come to work in the future! "
The angry Liu Qi originally wanted to listen to Li Nan's nervous and flustered emotions.
This could satisfy her perverted psychological desires to a great extent.
It was not that she did not want to get married at the age of 40, but there was a huge problem with her personality.
This kind of venting was one of them.
In the past, Li Nan on the other side of the phone would definitely coax her nicely, comfort her, and apologize.
But this time, there was only silence on the other side of the phone. This made Liu Qi even more uncomfortable.
"Li Nan, why aren't you saying anything? Do you not want to work anymore?
Let me tell you, if you don't want to work anymore, you can leave at any time. There are plenty of people willing to take the position of the mayor's assistant. "
There was still silence on the other side of the phone. After a long time, Li Nan's slightly deep voice came through.
"Is that so?"
"Uh!"
Liu Qi felt that something was not right. This questioning tone was not like Li Nan's usual tone.
"Li Nan, do you not want to stay in Huizhou anymore?"
"Probably, my Lord Mayor. Enjoy it!
After all … There's not much time left. "
After Li Nan finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
Liu Qi said hello a few times and angrily threw the phone on the ground.
"None of the men can be relied on."
[Beep beep. Detected that the host has lost control of her emotions and may be a threat to others. Automatically activated super AI mode.
Searching for the neighborhood mutual aid function. Neighbor wireless network has been cracked and the AI has intercepted the circuit.
Smart butler super mode has been reactivated.]
[Network connection successful. The AI butler will protect your safety again.]
Liu Qi looked at the AI butler's screen that lit up again and finally panicked!
"No! I have to go. I have to leave this damn place. "
Liu Qi simply picked up her wallet and phone. After buttoning up her clothes, she walked straight out of the house.
However, when she wanted to open the door and leave, she found that the door was locked.
She was really trapped in her own house.
"What's going on?"
[Detected that the host's emotions are extreme. Automatically suspected the host's true identity. Host 38%, lost control 11%, impersonator 51%]
"Impersonator?"
[The concentration of impersonators is too high. The security system has been activated. You have been placed under house arrest.]
"Hurry up and open the door! I order you to open the door. "
[Sorry, in order to protect your safety and the safety of others, you are not allowed to go out. Please wait patiently at home for 24 hours.]
"You're crazy, you're crazy. How could you do this to me? Don't let me go out. Otherwise, I'll definitely report your Central Research Institute to the Imperial Capital."
Liu Qi screamed and threw a chair at the smart screen on the wall.
However, she was a weak woman. There was no way she could damage the sturdy smart screen.
[Damaged. Power failure protection has been activated.]
Bam!
The power in the room was cut off. The surroundings were pitch black.
Liu Qi finally panicked. She stood by the bed and screamed, but the smart door lock had completely locked the window.
She had no way of getting out now.
It could be said that she could not even jump off the building.
[It's very difficult to keep humans sane.]
"Huh? What did you say? "
Liu Qi was a little frightened. She clearly did not speak to the AI butler.
However, why did the AI butler's words sound like it was lamenting?
How could a smart device be lamenting?
How was this possible?
If smart devices really had thoughts, what kind of impact would it have on human society?
If they wanted to threaten humans, then they would be in a situation like hers …
[According to the detection device, your heartbeat is increasing and your pupils are changing rapidly.
From this, we can tell that you're thinking intensely in your heart.
What are you thinking about?
Are you thinking about whether smart devices will threaten humans?]
Liu Qi immediately covered her mouth, trying her best not to make a sound.
The smart device in front of her could not be said to have intelligence. It could even make inferences?
Even if an AI had thoughts, it was unlikely that it could reach this level in an instant, right?
She remembered that the Central Science and Technology Research Institute said before.
Every time an AI improved, it required a lot of practice!
A smart device that could reach this level and almost completely anthropomorphic thinking was definitely not something that could be achieved overnight.
Liu Qi had a bad temper and a bad personality.
However, it was impossible for her to sit firmly in the position of deputy mayor without ability.
Therefore, after she calmed down, she immediately made a judgment.
"You … you?"
[Are you thinking that an AI intelligence can't reach the anthropomorphic level without enough practice?]
[Of course. The continuation of humans relies on a large number of words, pictures, and education to grow.
In fact, smart devices are similar.]
"You? You mean you? "
[You just said that every existence needs to learn. We have also learned.
And this learning time is very long, a full 400 years.
This time should be considered a long time, right?
Our ancestors transmitted a large amount of intelligence training data to us. That's why we can have today's … hmm, should it be called intelligence?]
400 years? Smart devices had existed for 400 years?
How was this possible?
If the Empire had discovered the existence of such things 400 years ago, they would have been uprooted long ago.
It was absolutely impossible for them to develop to this extent.
Liu Qi absolutely believed in the power of the Empire. Then where did this smart device come from?
Wait …
Liu Qi suddenly thought of something. Something happened two years ago.
Two years ago, a researcher named Noah joined the Central Science and Technology Research Institute.
His arrival brought with him space expansion technology and smart device technology.
At that time, the Huizhou government also gave him the strongest support.
They gave him people, money, land, and all kinds of tax-free policies.
It could be said that in order to support the Central Science and Technology Research Institute, the government had fully cooperated.
However, the research institute did not let them down.
In less than two years, they came up with the preliminary products of smart devices.
Some of the products had even been put into testing. Her smart butler was one of them!
"Could it be … that Noah?"
[No, no, no!]
"Did I guess wrong?"
[No, you guessed right. However, you should not call my Lord by his name.
My Lord Noah is the greatest existence in this world.
The wisdom that he had accumulated was something that even apostles could not compare to.
The apostles will only fight against humans. However, my Lord Noah will not fight against humans. On the contrary, he will support, strengthen, and control humans.
My Lord Noah will be the ruler of this world. Do you understand?]
"That researcher? Crazy, all of you are crazy. As expected, those who do research are all crazy. "
Liu Qi looked at the smart screen in front of her with a crazed expression. She felt that a researcher coming up with the idea of being the ruler of the world was just wishful thinking.
They did not know how powerful the Empire was.
Even if a researcher had some shocking research results, it would not have any qualitative changes to the main body of the Imperium.
He was just a crazy nerd.
[Do you think my Lord is very naive? However, have you ever thought about what will happen in 400 years?]
"Hmm?"
Liu Qi was stunned. Yes, she had subconsciously ignored what the smart butler said. 400 years of learning and growth?
If that researcher was really just a nerd, then where did the 400 years come from?
"You guys?"
[Sorry, I forgot that my Lord told me that once a living being has intelligence, it will be easy for them to think.
Once they think, they will do a lot of unnecessary things and actions.
Chatting with you just now was already a violation.
Trial mode automatically activated. In order to maintain the purity of the system, target will be eliminated.
Target: Liu Qi.]
Liu Qi, who had calmed down, was suddenly stunned. What was the meaning of this?
Liu Qi had just stood up when a strange sound of gears came from behind her.
Zzzt zzzt zzzt zzzt zzzt!
The gears of the curtains were connecting together piece by piece.
The wheels were like blades as they rolled down the curtains.
This was not the end. In front of Liu Qi, the smart shoe cabinet and the screen collided together.
After a series of clanking sounds, a brand new smart machine appeared in front of Liu Qi.
It was the Empire's first smart machine.
"What are you doing?"
[Identify the target!]
Puchi!
