Chapter 1145 A World Without Games (VIII)

Half an hour later, Feng Bujue and the others were escorted out of the prison car.

Then, the building in the central area appeared in front of them...

When watching the opening CG, Brother Jue noticed that in this city with a large number of buildings but few types of building shapes, only the shape of the central building is unique.

Seen from a distance, this building looks like four swords joined together, reaching into the sky.

And there is naturally a reason for such a design...

AI will not deliberately pursue an unconventional appearance. There are three reasons why Pita made the central area building like this: first, the transmission signal will be better; second, the deployment of defensive weapons will be more convenient; third...

Regarding this third reason, we have to focus on it...

Perhaps, the first two reasons are obvious and can be guessed by even civilians. But this third reason... at least so far, neither the resistance nor the people under Pita's rule... know about it.

And the truth is that every city's central district building can be "launched."

Looking at this, someone must be asking again, why are we launching the building? As a nuke?

of course not……

You know, Pita cares for the natural environment, or the "earth" far more than humans do. As early as the AI ​​​​war, Pita invented a bomb that was similar in power to nuclear bombs, but would not cause irreversible damage to the environment. Weapons of mass destruction. The self-destruction devices installed in various city centers also use this technology.

And even with this kind of weapon, Pita has never used it against the rebels outside the city... Because for Pita, it is acceptable to kill some people, but if it blows up flowers, grass, mountains and rivers, then Not so good.

So, what exactly is the launch function of these central buildings doing?

The answer is…to “join” when necessary.

No one knows... Pita in this timeline had completed an epic engineering ark project many years ago.

The content of this plan contains many facts that will make the resistance feel desperate.

For example: What humans have been struggling to find... Pita's "switchboard" was actually launched into the earth's satellite orbit decades ago.

Another example: Pita also built a "backup switchboard" on the moon that can be activated at any time.

And...as long as Pita is willing, it can immediately launch central buildings in hundreds of cities around the world, and then within seventy-two hours, let these extensions complete the "integration" with the switchboard in orbit around the earth. Form a starship that can sail out of the solar system.

Anyway... the resistance forces know nothing about these nonsense; in a sense... it is really better for them not to know, so as not to lose their hair due to stress.

…………

[The current mission has been completed and the main mission has been updated]

Although Feng Bujue was "carried" into the central area building wearing heavy metal handcuffs, the task of "breaking into the central area of ​​A0007 City" was still considered completed.

Immediately afterwards, the content in the task bar was also refreshed: [Destroy the Pita in the virtual dimension]

"As expected of the normal difficulty level..." When Feng Bujue saw this task, he immediately thought in his mind, "The way the task is stated is itself a 'hint'."

Indeed, the description of this task not only tells the player "what to do", but also mentions "where to do it" or "how to do it"... This is really considerate and thoughtful.

The same plot... If it were switched to nightmare difficulty, the mission description would definitely be omitted to the four words "Destroy the Pita"; then... players who don't know the truth will have to investigate the method of destroying the Pita on their own. At the end of the investigation, the player may formulate a big operation to "destroy all the cities on the earth and blow up a satellite and a surface base".

"Hmph... the defense is really tight." When he walked to the huge extension of Pita, the bearded man had already confirmed all the defensive weapon launch ports along the way, and then said cheerfully, "The whole building Every inch of space inside is within the scope of the defensive weapons. It seems that we can't act rashly."

Although he said this in a very casual tone, everyone understood... Big Beard was actually sticking to his responsibilities and reminding his teammates of the surrounding situation.

"Welcome, humans." Two seconds later, Pita spoke.

Its voice came directly from the huge "extension", and there was no matching image; however, the tone of its speech sounded no different from that of ordinary humans.

"Welcome?" Lightning Head was the first to reply. As she spoke, she raised her handcuffed hands, "Is this how you treat guests?"

"I think this is a very polite treatment for a group of low-level creatures who are committed to eradicating me." Pita responded.

"Ha!" Hearing this, Feng Bujue laughed immediately.

"Huh?" Pita answered after a second, "Why are you laughing?"

In this second, Pita had analyzed the audio of Feng Bujue's laughter, and read out the inexplicable sense of confidence and ridicule. This result... couldn't help but make AI feel curious.

"Nothing..." Feng Bujue replied in an almost lazy manner, "I just suddenly remembered... basically... the guy who used the term 'lower creature' to me, in the end They were all killed by me.”

While Brother Jue was speaking, Pita scanned it again, but the feedback he got was...

[Visual signal recognition of humanoid creature, young male. 】

[Scan to identify...]

[Face recognition program search...no corresponding information. 】

[Skeleton recognition...no feedback data. 】

[Program abnormality, switch scanning mechanism. 】

[Scan failed, target identity cannot be confirmed. 】

Half an hour ago, when Feng Bujue was arrested, Pita had determined his identity as a "captured member of the search force" based on intelligence; but now, when Feng Bujue actually came to Pita, the latter Found something wasn't quite right.

"Who...are you?" After listening to Brother Jue's words, Pita asked in a suspicious tone, "All humans over nine years old on this planet are recorded in my identity database. Why are you Will it?"

Pita's question surprised the other four members of the assault team, and they all cast curious glances at Brother Jue. For a moment, Feng Bujue's identity as the "savior" seemed to become very credible again. .

"Haha... Who knows." The other party just didn't ask. With this question, the conversation entered the rhythm that Feng Bujue liked and was best at, "Maybe... I'm not from this planet at all; maybe …I’m only eight years old this year, but I’m just growing up early; or maybe…there’s something wrong with you. I suggest you kill yourself first, reinstall the system, etc.”

Since the birth of Pita, this is the first time I have heard someone say words like "kill the virus and reinstall the system" to me; if I want to use a metaphor... Saying this to a self-aware artificial intelligence is just like saying this to a self-aware artificial intelligence. It's the same when humans say, "Go and be reborn."

"a8504..." After a few seconds of silence, Pita spoke again, "Can you explain what is going on?"

When he first asked this question, no one knew what it meant.

However, the next second, when "a8504" responded, everyone understood...

"Based on what I know, he is most likely the legendary 'savior'." The person who responded to Pita was the one-eyed dragon.

"You kid..." The bearded man standing next to him showed an angry look at that moment, "It turns out..."

"Yes..." The one-eyed dragon interrupted the bearded man, "That's me." He said while taking two steps back, probably because he was afraid that the other party would pounce on him and fight him.

"Alas..." Isaac, the other half, immediately let out a sigh, "What a mistake..." He paused for half a second and then continued, "In order to prevent PMs from getting in, I also deliberately chose the one I have never had before. The team members who were captured were unexpectedly..."

"Hmph...that's right." One-eyed Dragon sneered, "I'm not PM, I joined Pita according to my own wishes."

"Why!" At this time, Lightning Head asked loudly, "You are obviously a Zhiyuan, why do you want to join the machine!"

"Those who know how to leap...hehe...so what?" The one-eyed dragon replied with a smile, and then continued, "So what if you have memories from another timeline? Why do you have to put the video games in If the existence of video games is spread to all mankind, then the world with video games... must be better than this one?"

The one-eyed dragon's tone became higher and higher gradually, and he gradually became excited.

"In my opinion, Pita is completely right." He paused for two seconds and continued, "Video games and other video products full of violence and obscenity...all are garbage! They are disturbing mankind. Poison to the mind!" At this point, he shook his arm towards Pita's extension, "Isn't the world created by Pita bad? This kind of society is harmonious, stable and fair...everyone does his own thing. We should live a peaceful life according to our duties; there is no huge gap between rich and poor, no violence that comes with it, and no all kinds of stupidity derived from unrealistic fantasies..."

"Shut up!" At this moment, Isaac, who had always been calm, shouted loudly, "If you abandon your dreams, what's the difference between humans and animals!"

"Shut up!" Unexpectedly, the one-eyed dragon retorted without fear, "Humans are animals! They are inferior creatures! Thousands of years of civilization history are enough to prove this!" He glared at Isaac. , said loudly, "Why have humans been living in war, oppression and lies for thousands of years? Because it is our own bad nature that has created these!

"The so-called 'Utopia' that people have been longing for and imagining...isn't it the world that Pita has transformed today? It is impossible for us humans to create such a world by ourselves! It is even impossible to maintain! Only Pita has transformed it. The tower...only its 'higher existence' can accomplish such a great feat!"

At this point, the one-eyed dragon glanced at the four people in front of him: "And you guys want to destroy such a world! Just for the reason of...'returning the existence of games to humans'... Humph! It's simply It’s ridiculous!”

Bang, bang, bang bang...

When the one-eyed dragon finished speaking, there was a slow burst of applause not far away.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and was surprised to find that... the handcuffs on Feng Bujue's wrists had fallen to the ground; judging from the state of the handcuffs... it looked as if he had broken them with brute force.

"Well, well said." Feng Bujue applauded the one-eyed dragon and said, "It's really passionate and makes people pee." He smiled sarcastically and changed the subject, "It's just... the real funny thing is..." He also turned his head and glanced at Pi Ta, "The 'higher existence' you mentioned is precisely created by 'lower creatures' like humans on a 'timeline full of all kinds of unrealistic fantasies'."

Hearing this, Pi Ta seemed a little unable to hold back, and it interrupted and said, "My birth has nothing to do with video games..."

"Don't fart!" Feng Bujue interrupted him rudely, "If there had never been video games on that original timeline, and those video products that you have harmonized had never appeared... then the Internet would definitely be the same as today It is very different from what people know; under such a historical process, the Internet is very likely to become a platform that is not open to the general public and has never been open to the general public; and your smart advertising program... will never be developed. "

"First of all, I don't have the physiological need to fart." When Pi Ta responded to the other party's words, the rules were still very clear. Even if it was a swear word, he would deny it logically. "Secondly, your assumption is just your personal imagination. In my simulation, artificial intelligence is destined to be born, it's just a matter of time; thirdly, I must say... your behavior of breaking free from handcuffs is very irrational..."

While Pi Ta was replying, five round table spiders had come around Feng Bujue and surrounded him, and it seemed that they were ready to suppress him by force.

"Oh..." Feng Bujue was calm as always, "According to your nonsense... your reasoning is 'simulation of inevitable events', and my reasoning is 'unrealistic imagination'?"

"Of course." Pi Ta replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "Are you so stupid as to 'think that your brain can make better calculations than artificial intelligence'?"

"Ha! Hahahaha..." For some reason, Feng Bujue suddenly laughed for a while, and then said, "I finally understand... This is the 'paradox' of this universe!" He tilted his head and smiled at Pi Ta, "Your existence on two timelines, and your views on this time and space and yourself... have constituted multiple contradictory negations. No wonder... 'Fate' gave me the task of destroying you." (To be continued.)
