Chapter 20 Your Voice

King...king?

Lin Xian was the only one standing in the huge museum courtyard.

Thousands of robots of all kinds below him all knelt neatly on the ground, bowed their heads, and submitted to him.

Just now, they were a group of mad dogs with red lights on, wishing to tear him apart and roast him with lasers.

But at the moment he shouted out the password, not only did the hundreds of lasers ready to go suddenly turn, but the sea of ​​red lights in front of him suddenly turned green, and there was complete silence, without a single sound.

32375246...

This is the password for Zhao Yingjun's office on the 22nd floor.

It was a password that only the two of them knew.

Lin Xian turned his head...

Looking at the door of Zhao Yingjun's personal exhibition hall that had already been opened behind him.

This steel electronic door could not be opened by VV before, and at the same moment when he shouted out the password, this tightly closed door suddenly opened.

Then he looked down at the trash can robot that was crawling at his feet and just laughed like a child...

It goes without saying.

This password, which only he and Zhao Yingjun knew in the world, was the correct password.

And the person who made those thousands of robots kneel on the ground and finally opened the door of the exhibition hall... was the trash can robot in front of him, VV.

"Who are you?"

Lin Xian looked at the annoying and disgusting mentally retarded robot before.

Was it pretending before?

Or did it just awaken?

But in short, this trash can robot is definitely not the same "person" as the previous one.

The previous trash can only had a few simple lines, and its behavior logic was extremely clumsy, and its voice was emotionless, a very primitive mechanical electronic sound.

But just now...

Whether it was that unintentional chuckle, or the serious "Welcome home, King of the Rhine" that followed, that natural and smooth tone... It was hard for Lin Xian to regard it as an emotionless robot.

That feeling is hard to describe.

It is a tone and accent unique to humans, which is fundamentally different from mechanical synthesized sounds.

Some are secretly happy, some are naughty, and some are serious.

Really like a real human.

A... slightly childish child.

"I am the control center brain of Rhine Sky City."

The trash can robot stood up, with green light flashing in its eyes, like blinking:

"Of course, you can also be more convenient and call my name directly-"

"VV."

Central brain?

Lin Xian recalled the huge super intelligent computer in the exhibition hall of the front hall of the museum.

That was the first generation of intelligent brain of Rhine Sky City.

After more than 200 years of updates and iterations, this super artificial intelligence has long been separated from the existence of storage media and running hardware, roaming every corner of the sky city.

No one knows where it is.

Or maybe... it is everywhere.

Just like now, it opened the door of Zhao Yingjun's personal exhibition hall to Lin Xian, and at the last moment, it turned the lasers and made all the security robots kneel down for it.

Now, it is in the body of this broken robot in front of him.

"So, all this was planned by Zhao Yingjun?"

Lin Xian glanced at the robots in front of him who knelt down and submitted to him:

"Including me, the king?"

"No, no, no..."

The trash can robot twisted its body awkwardly and shook its head:

"This is just my personal bad taste. I have wanted to try this for a long time. There is no king in Rhine Sky City... I just think it will be cooler this way, and it has the taste of a medieval stage play."

"..."

Lin Xian was speechless, looking at this drama queen.

He felt that this scene was too awkward just now.

What era is it, still kneeling on one knee and calling the king or something.

He originally thought that this was a surprise Zhao Yingjun had left for him, but he didn't expect that it was just a prank by an artificial idiot:

"When did it start?"

"From the moment you got the password right." The trash can robot's eyes flickered:

"If you had called out the correct password a little later, it might have been too late. I was also surprised that there was such a line of instructions hidden in my lowest-level code... It was hidden so cleverly that thousands of normal programs that seemed to have no connection had been running continuously for more than 200 years until 12:42 noon today, and coincidentally connected into a complete instruction. This was something I didn't even notice."

Then, the trash can robot...now it should be called super artificial intelligence VV explained to Lin Xian:

Since the launch of this Rhine Sky City, it has been managing and operating this city as the central brain.

All programs are set well, although it can continue to learn, iterate and evolve, and continue to become smarter and better at thinking.

But...

No matter how much it evolves, how smart it is, and how intelligent it is, it is ultimately just a string of codes, a binary program.

Therefore, the restrictions of the lowest-level code prevent it from ever leaving Rhine City, and it must be forever locked in the Three Laws of Robotics.

Lin Xian was still very surprised by this.

In many science fiction movies about artificial intelligence, these terrifying artificial intelligences will eventually escape human control, and even eventually control the world and destroy humanity.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that the settings in the movie are a bit unrealistic.

As VV said, in the final analysis it is just a program composed of code. Just like human beings cannot be separated from their flesh and blood, it will always be constrained by the underlying code and eventually hit an insurmountable wall.

VV said that its growth and iteration stopped after learning all the knowledge about Rhine Sky City.

This is also what humans want.

They don’t want the AI ​​to be too powerful, they just want it to run the city well.

"I have studied my underlying code for many years. What I cannot understand the most is that some programs can be written simpler and more efficiently, but the result is a series of pseudo-random dynamic loop instructions. .

"It is written in the code comments that the reason for doing this is for safety reasons. The instructions that change every moment will make the program unable to be cracked and make the defense of Rhine Sky City impeccable."

"In fact, this is true. It's not that I haven't been attacked, but they failed without me taking action at all, because these program codes are changing all the time, and each program has its own independent pseudo-random loop. There are thousands of them. Tens of thousands or hundreds of millions of programs are compiled together, which is a Great Wall that can never be broken."

"However...at 12:42:00 today, everything changed."

The trash can raised its head, and the Tianling lid opened with a bang:

"For more than 200 years, I myself have believed that this kind of program code that changes at any time has no meaning other than security. But... at 12:42:00 seconds today, almost by coincidence, there were 230,000 programs at this moment The last random codes are connected together to form a new command!"

"This is something that has never happened in more than 200 years. Even I don't know that in my program with a total of 1.2 billion lines of code, there is a new instruction hidden in it that takes more than 200 years to appear!"

"This command is to send several codes to this trash can robot, and the most critical code is converted into a hexadecimal code to form a recognition sound."

"sound?"

Lin Xian seemed to have guessed something:

"Could it be..."

"That's right."

The lid of the trash can slammed shut, and the whole trash can nodded. At the same time, the rusty mechanical clamp was raised and pointed at Lin Xian:

"It's your voice, the sound of just two words - VV."

This moment.

Lin Xian completely understood.

He had just thought that if anyone could activate the password input mode by shouting out the words VV, then in the past 200 years, the secret of the trash can robot must have been discovered by others.

VV told Lin Xian that all these new instructions were "accidentally" generated until 12:42:00 seconds today.

From this moment on.

This trash can robot will always lock on the first man who falls from the sky, identify him as the highest priority garbage to pick up, and chase him to the end of the world; at the same time, it has the highest door opening authority in the entire Rhine Sky City and can automatically open it Any electronic door.

Before this point in time, it was just an ordinary, unremarkable trash can robot. It was placed near the statue of Zhao Yingjun purely because of its commemorative significance and Zhao Yingjun’s arrangement.

But after this point in time...

It is connected to the real VV, which is the central brain and super artificial intelligence of Rhine Sky City.

As long as it listens to the recognition sound, which is the VV it shouts, it will immediately enter the password recognition mode. Once the password is entered correctly, the deepest line of instructions at the bottom of the super artificial intelligence VV will be activated——

The person who answers the password correctly is regarded as the real owner of Rhine Sky City.

That is what the drama queen VV calls...the King of the Rhine!

this.

It was Zhao Yingjun who had planned the plan for 600 years.

Just to span 600 years...

In the last 12 hours before the end of mankind, give yourself this Rhine Sky City and risk all your time and miracles.

Those mysterious and unpredictable codes are hidden too deeply in VV's program. They are equivalent to 230,000 unrelated cryptographic gears rotating independently... It will continue to rotate for 200 years before it will be on August 28, 2624. At 12:42:00 seconds of the day, a new series of instructions coincidentally connected.

And the time point of 12:42:00 on August 28, 2624 is the earliest time that he can enter the dream world.

Everything is tailor-made for yourself.

This is a level that only belongs to you, and a level that only you can pass.

As for the speed of customs clearance...

It all depends on when you can shout the word "VV".

It stands to reason that when I successfully skydive for the first time, I could actually shout VV.

The nameplate of the trash can robot says its name, VV.

I did see this prompt at that time.

But there was no one else around at the time, so there was no need for me to read this out, so I missed this opportunity.

Of course, Zhao Yingjun naturally thought of this.

So she will definitely leave VV reminders for herself in many places, such as the giant computer in the exhibition hall, and... other places that she has not discovered.

This logic is clear so far.

And what Lin Xian had to pay attention to was...

Why does Zhao Yingjun have to be so cautious? 】

What is she afraid of?

What is she wary of?

She took great pains to hide all of this so that it is difficult to find and impossible to distinguish... In the final analysis, who is she afraid of discovering?

Thinking of this, Lin Xian slowly raised his head and looked at the bright full moon in the sky.

The moon is extremely round today.

The sky is cloudless and clear, and the black hand shadow on the moon looks down arrogantly on everything, or is monitoring everything...

Perhaps the answer is already obvious.

can make

Zhao Yingjun is so painstaking and cautious...

Only Genius Club]!

The good news is that Zhao Yingjun succeeded. She successfully broke through the 600-year time blockade and gave this city in the sky to herself 600 years ago.

But the bad news is that human beings still have not escaped the fate of being destroyed by white light. They are not even aware of the existence of white light, and they don't even know why they are destroyed.

What worries Lin Xian even more is...

What about yourself?

What about your own history?

Both Zhao Yingjun and Rhine Sky City continued to leave traces 600 years later.

What about myself as the real founder of RWE?

Where?

What did you do again?

What kind of past have you experienced?

"VV."

Lin Xian withdrew his gaze from the moon and looked down at the trash can robot at his feet:

"Let me ask you a question."

He whispered:

"I, Lin Xian, the real founder of RWE, what kind of history do I have in this world?"

The voice of the trash can robot flashed twice quickly and shook its head:

"Lin...Xian..."

"No such person found."
