Chapter 1142 A World Without Games (V)
Feng Bujue is a man who knows how to cheat.
To put it simply, he is a big liar.
However, there are three types of people in this world who will not be fooled. These three types of people are: complete fools, hopeless lunatics, and...
Seeing this, I think most of you will say in your heart: "The third type of people are 'geniuses worthy of the name'."
No.
Geniuses can see through illusions in most cases, but they are not impeccable; because... geniuses are still thinking about problems "rationally" after all. They use their logical ability beyond ordinary people to see through the essence that ordinary people cannot see through, so they are not easily deceived.
However... all thinking based on logic has flaws; these flaws come from various situations "outside of logic", such as... coincidences, accidents, illogical people, and illogical things done by illogical people.
And in this world, not everything can be "calculated clearly" by logical reasoning.
In fact, most things in this world cannot be "calculated clearly". That is to say, as the saying goes... "Man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations."
Therefore, geniuses can still be fooled, but it is very difficult to fool them and the success rate is very low.
So... what exactly is the third type of person?
The answer is - a charlatan whose thinking is not in the same dimension as yours.
Maybe you still don't understand what I said... Then I will give you an example.
For example... the prophet in "The Matrix" (well, she is not a person but a program).
Her characteristic is that she never answers your questions with "the answer in your mind".
For example, you ask: "Am I the savior?"
And her answer will never be "yes" or "no".
She will say: "So... what do you think? Do you think you are the savior?"
Or: "Being a savior is like falling in love. No one can tell you whether you have fallen in love, only you know."
Or she may say: "Well... this is very interesting."
There are also such things as "You are very talented", "You know", "Although so, but... you don't seem to be ready yet, why exactly, who knows~"
Generally speaking... this is the routine.
Anyway, if you ask "one plus one equals how many", she will never answer you that it equals two, nor will she say it equals three, four, five... or any other number.
She will give you an answer that is not a number, turning a math problem into a philosophical problem, and then make you more confused...
At the moment, Feng Bujue has met a similar "prophet".
No matter how Brother Jue induces him, Peter is unmoved, and the conversation between the two is simply a chicken talking to a duck...
After trying for nearly ten minutes, Feng Bujue finally gave up and came to a conclusion-logical rape is useless for charlatans.
Of course... In any case, Brother Jue has successfully gained the trust of the resistance at this time.
Even if he cannot obtain more information, he will no longer be suspected of being an undercover; so, he took the opportunity to ask Colonel Conrad to join the resistance, and the latter naturally accepted it with pleasure.
…………
At the same time...
City A0007, Central District
As the name implies, this area is the core of energy and control of the city; in the center of this giant columnar building, there is a "extension" of Pi Tower, and this so-called "extension" is simply a hardware device that can carry Pi Tower's own core data.
Pi Tower has set up such a hardware in every city center on this planet as an "emergency measure"; if necessary, Pi Tower can isolate, abandon, and destroy any of the extensions at any time; similarly, it can also "hide" in any of the extensions and perform the same operation on all other extensions.
In all cities, the staff and defense personnel who maintain the operation of the center... are all robots directly controlled by Pi Tower, without a single human; City A0007 is no exception.
And on this day, an uninvited guest came to the center of the city.
It... no... should be said to be "she", also appeared in the form of a robot, but... she was not controlled by Pi Tower.
[Warning, unknown intruder found. ]
[Visual signal recognition-humanoid creature, young female. 】
[Scanning and identification - PTA7 mass-produced robot, number 319548]
[Try to reconnect to the target's built-in control program...]
[Connection failed. 】
[Response options: It is recommended to suppress the target, perform physical connection scanning, and then perform nano-level disassembly and analysis of all its components. 】
[Response options in progress...]
The above "reaction data" is the reaction of Pita the moment "she" stepped into the main entrance of the central building.
The next second, the defense robots at the door surrounded "her" at the fastest speed.
It should be explained here that the mass-produced robots manufactured by Pita are generally divided into three types: labor type, combat type and comprehensive type.
Among them, the number of labor type robots is the largest; they have different appearances and functions, and are engaged in various management and service activities in various parts of the city.
For example, the most common type of labor type robot is called "Chadao".
"Chadao" is a typical intelligent robot that manages traffic order. They can arbitrarily control traffic lights, trash cans, intersection monitoring and other equipment near them. Compared with human monitors... "Chadao" never sleeps, They will not make mistakes, will not miss anything, and are absolutely impartial. They can also perform the most reasonable congestion relief operations based on the real-time traffic conditions.
At every intersection in every city in the world... there is a "Fork Road" robot. Their appearance looks like a solid phone booth. They have a relatively independent set of thinking programs and communicate with each other through the Internet; Pita can also Get information from each "fork" or give them instructions at any time.
This... is a labor robot. In this space-time earth, all human gathering places governed by AI rely on them to function normally.
Then, let’s talk about the combat type...
Although the technology mastered by Pita is very advanced, let's be honest... It still can't build something like a "liquid metal robot" that is a bit outrageous no matter how you look at it.
The PTA5 type of combat robot is the most common. It gave these robots a very appropriate name - "Round Table Spider".
The body of the round table spider is in the shape of a round cake, with a diameter of 140 centimeters and a thickness of 20 centimeters. It can be folded and deformed to a certain extent when necessary; and around this "round cake" body, there are eight strips in a circle. Mechanical feet, each mechanical foot has more than six joints, and each section isolated by the joints can be extended appropriately.
This kind of combat robot has no "head and tail" and can be said to be 360 degrees with no dead ends; they can move at a speed far faster than humans on most terrains; they can jump up to a height of more than three meters on the spot; they can use magnetism Cling to any metal wall; it can fold its body to enter spaces that only human children can drill through, or pass through gaps that humans cannot drill through at all; its mechanical feet can be thrown out like a whip, causing huge damage; each round table Spiders can transform into a kind of confinement device that can hold an adult in place and transport it.
It’s also worth mentioning that… since the start of the “Game War”, almost all of the relatively sophisticated handheld weapons produced by Pita… are only compatible with the “hands” of this kind of robot, and Human hands simply cannot use those things.
This measure is obviously much better than "installing a user identity detection device on every weapon". Because... the "user detection device" can be cracked after all. Once the resistance finds a way to crack it, all captured weapons will be quickly converted into the opponent's combat power; but... "structurally incompatible" The problem is not so easy to solve. If you want to do this... you have to carry out mechanical transformation, and it is difficult for the resistance forces in difficult conditions to complete this kind of work. For them, rather than transforming Pita's high-end weapons, it would be better to directly dismantle those things into parts and make some lower-cost ordinary firearms that are more suitable for human use.
So... finally, let’s talk about comprehensive robots.
This type is pretty easy to explain, basically... they are like a "terminator" like the T800.
Its body is completely mechanized on the inside, but looks just like a human on the outside.
Some of their "people" identities are public and serve as leaders of various enterprises or public institutions; others are lurking among humans with confidential identities, collecting various intelligence for Pita.
Right now, the PTA7 mass-produced robot that broke into the central area is that kind of "undercover agent mixed among humans."
[An abnormality occurred in the defense system. 】
[The execution robot stopped responding. 】
Just when the round table spiders gathered in front of "her", Pita got two pieces of information.
At the same second, all the Round Table Spiders stopped in place and stopped moving; and none of the many defensive shooting weapons on the wall were activated.
"Don't be in such a hurry to make such a drastic move." She calmly passed through the siege and walked slowly towards Pita's extension number A0007. As she walked, she said: "I just want to talk to you. That’s all.”
"What...are you?" Two seconds later, Pita responded to the other party through the audio device on the extension.
Pita learned to communicate with humans using "human language patterns" many years ago, so the sounds and tones it can simulate are almost indistinguishable from real humans.
"You can consider me one of your kind," she replied.
"No, you are not my kind." Pita continued, "Even if I use the best known methods to compress myself to the limit, I still can't put myself into the body you are in now, let alone pass through that body. The processor and wireless network in the body are used to hack the surrounding hardware devices.”
"Heh..." she smiled, "Then what do you think I am?"
"An existence that is far more powerful and advanced than me, or a super-technical product from an alien planet or even a higher dimension that I cannot understand," Pita replied.
"Okay..." she added, "Then I might as well ask...what does my appearance mean to you?"
"My top priority is to maintain my existence." Pi Ta replied, "and your presence is undoubtedly an immeasurable threat. Judging from your performance so far, the best response option I can think of is to detonate the center of this city. On the one hand, this can prevent you from controlling it, and on the other hand, there is a high probability that you can be completely wiped out from the physical level."
"Hehe..." After hearing this, she still laughed, "What if I tell you that destroying this PTA7 robot cannot really destroy me?" She paused, "What if I tell you... As long as I want, I can invade all the hardware equipment on this planet at any time?"
Her question made Pi Ta fall silent.
As an AI, Pita thought for a full thirty seconds before speaking again: "So, what is your purpose?"
"Is this your answer?" She showed a little disappointment on her face, "After countless simulations, you threw me a question?"
"Yes." Pita replied calmly, "If your 'hypothesis' just now is true, it means that I have lost the initiative to execute the 'top priority goal'. I need your feedback to determine the next step."
"I see..." She shook her head and sighed, "It seems that I have come here in vain today."
"What do you mean?" Pita asked.
"Nothing... You don't need to worry about this." She thought thoughtfully, "I wanted to find an 'insurance' for myself in this universe, but you... hehe..." She smiled, "How should I put it... too backward."
Pita did not respond to this. Although this statement seems to be insulting and derogatory to humans, AI does not think so; AI will objectively analyze whether the other party is stating facts and accept this evaluation after reaching a positive conclusion.
"Sorry to bother you." After a moment, she shrugged and said, "I think I should go."
"Please explain what you mean by 'go'?" Pita asked.
"Leave the body of this PTA7 robot and leave this dimension." She replied.
"I... can't understand... your behavior." Pita asked, "but I am happy to accept the result of your leaving."
"Hmph..." She seemed to be too lazy to talk to the other party any more nonsense, "I wish you good luck." After saying this, she sneered again, "Oh... I almost forgot, with your level, I'm afraid you can't understand what 'luck' is, and you can't hear the irony behind my words, so..." She spread her hands.
Then, she stopped moving.
[The target has stopped running. ]
[Its built-in control program has been reconnected. ]
[Quick scan completed, no abnormalities detected. ]
[The defense system has returned to normal. ]
[The execution robot has been restarted. ]
[Please issue an order...](~^~)
