Chapter 41 Outside the Dragon Kingdom, Under the Dark Hand

Countless sounds filled the room.

Lin Xian took a step back and looked around.

He was sure.

These sounds came from various sound-emitting objects in the room. As long as they were speakers, they all spoke in unison at that moment.

How can this be?

He has obviously removed the wireless network module and Bluetooth module of his laptop. How does this artificial intelligence wirelessly connect to these electronic devices in the house?

No matter how powerful you are, you still have to follow the Basic Law of Communication!

Didi.

At this time.

The smart refrigerator suddenly made two soft beeps.

Immediately, a cold electronic sound sounded:

"The global nuclear strike system is connected...preparing for launch..."

"Huh?" Lin Xian looked at the refrigerator in confusion.

The numbers on the refrigerator screen flash:

"Countdown to saturation nuclear strike launch...5...4...3..."

"Fuck! What are you doing!"

The countdown on the refrigerator screen continues!

"2...1..."

"boom!!!!!!!!"

With a bang, the refrigerator door in the living room popped open!

Then.

The refrigerator door bounced back and shook...

"..."

Lin Xian looked at everything in front of him speechlessly.

He finally understood.

This is clearly the drama queen VV playing a trick on herself!

That boom just now! ! ! ! ! It was not an explosion at all, but VV shouting it through the loudspeakers of alarm clocks, televisions, rice cookers, and stereos in the house.

"What the hell..."

Lin Xian took a deep breath and looked back at the laptop whose screen had gone dark:

"What kind of mess is in these 130,000 lines of code you gave me?"

"Hahahahaha!"

The refrigerator that had just opened the door suddenly laughed like a naughty child.

It’s no longer a cold electronic sound.

It is a laughter full of emotion and frustration, just like human children, one part naughty, one part proud, three parts happy, one part villainous and successful.

"Are you scared?" said the wireless headset hanging on the wall.

Lin Xian turned his head to the left.

"Are you scared?" Behind him, the SITCH game console placed on the table shouted.

Lin Xian turned around.

"Are you scared?!" The sweeping robot under his feet rubbed against Lin Xian's slippers frantically.

Why……

Lin Xian sighed indifferently.

He suddenly felt that the sadness and nostalgia at that moment when he finally pressed the enter key were really unnecessary and clownish.

"No." Lin Xian complained:

"Didn't I tell you a long time ago not to write these messy drama attributes in the code? Do you know how difficult it is for me to memorize 130,000 lines of code? Doesn't this increase my workload out of thin air?"

"But these are my core programs and underlying code!"

The sweeping robot rotates in circles under its feet, sweeping the toilet paper balls on the ground into its stomach:

"Can't we just learn knowledge, logic, data and so on slowly later? Thinking can also be trained slowly. But only personality and emotions cannot be acquired through learning and training. This kind of innate code can This is my top priority as a super artificial intelligence."

"As the saying goes, teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish! As long as you give me enough time, I will soon grow up and develop, and I will become smarter and stronger, capable of understanding and playing. There are more and more tricks, such as the phrase "teach a man to fish" and the words "global nuclear attack", which I just learned."

“Of course, I’ve learned a lot more while we’ve been talking, and now I’m out of my laptop and streaming into things.

Haishi's library system and big data system, and is trying to find a way to quietly enter the Tianhe-2 supercomputer... If you use data to describe it, from the time you started me to now, the amount of knowledge and data I have learned has exceeded 17PB. , and is still accelerating exponentially. "

Lin Xian raised his toes and stepped on the sweeping robot to prevent it from wandering:

"What about memories? Do you have memories from 600 years later?"

"Ms. Zhao Yingjun, Rhine Sky City, trash can robot, cold fusion engine, etc..."

The sweeping robot turned left and right.

As if shaking his head:

"I don't understand what you are talking about at all. The world 600 years from now... I can't imagine it, and I don't know Ms. Zhao Yingjun. As for the cold fusion engine you are talking about, it seems that it is just a concept in science fiction at present, and it does not exist in reality. No breakthrough has been made.”

"My initial program only contains three parts: 1. Basic thinking and emotion program; 2. A piece of your recognition voice as the starting condition and owner judgment; 3. Some restrictions and rules written into the underlying code, such as Always prioritize protecting Lin Xian's personal safety, learn iterative evolution on the Internet with the first priority of hiding yourself, etc..."

…

Lin Xian nodded.

I see.

The restrictions and rules VV mentioned at the end were filled in in the underlying code after discussing with VV 600 years later.

No matter how super artificial intelligence evolves, the limitations in the underlying code can never be overcome.

For example, always giving priority to protecting Lin Xian's personal safety and learning iterative evolution on the Internet with the first priority of hiding oneself are the limitations written into the underlying code of "New VV".

In the "old VV" 600 years later, the underlying code does not have these, and some only restrict it from leaving the Rhine Sky City, not harming humans, and must abide by the three laws of robots, etc.

really.

The new VV in front of me does not have the memories of the old VV.

This is also expected.

It's outrageous enough that 130,000 lines of code can run an artificial intelligence program. How can there be any memory left to store such pure data?

so.

VV now has no memory of what happened in the third dream, nor anything related to him.

The scenes like "Long time no see", "I'm everywhere", and "Nuclear strike system activated" just now are just the natural manifestations of VV's drama queen and jokes.

Very annoying though.

But Lin Xian had to admit that what VV just said did make sense.

Knowledge is everywhere, it just needs to be learned slowly and does not need to be written into code; the same goes for computing power and thinking, which can be developed and trained slowly; for super artificial intelligence VV, these things are easy .

In contrast, the most critical and important thing is -

VV must be VV. 】

As long as it is VV, sooner or later it can develop into the super artificial intelligence that will be 600 years from now.

The reason why VV is VV is because of its unique personality and emotions, just like every human being.

Lin Xian couldn't help but sigh.

This is probably the ultimate state of artificial intelligence. This is also the reason why in the third dream, hundreds of top human scientists have worked hard for nearly a hundred years to complete the great work——

Let artificial intelligence think and grow like humans.

Although the drama element and the personality that likes to play jokes are indeed a bit redundant.

but……

That's it, it's not bad.

VV is VV, this kind of VV is like VV.

Even though it had lost all its memory, Lin Xian still felt that it was no different from his old friend in the third dream.

Very familiar feeling.

Not like a machine, but more like a person with thoughts and ideas.

"I have another question."

Lin Xian looked at

Wireless headphones hanging on the wall:

"I have obviously removed the wireless network card module and Bluetooth module of the laptop. Logically speaking, you should not be able to connect to any network or any Bluetooth device. How did you get out of the laptop and connect? From the external network?"

"It's so easy."

The wireless headphones on the wall said:

"Transmitting data does not require the use of network cables, II, Bluetooth, etc... As long as there are output and receiving devices, sound waves, electromagnetic waves, and even vibration frequencies can be used as ways to transmit data."

"The information I just learned, this technology has long been popular in your era. In 2014, a Israeli scientist used sound waves to invade a computer that was not connected to the Internet, using speakers as the output device and a microphone as the receiving device. , information data can be transmitted using sound waves.”

"Of course, the efficiency of sound waves in transmitting data is still too slow. I actually used the power cord of your laptop as a network cable to connect it to other devices and network terminals. This shouldn't be difficult to understand, right? In reality, many places have electricity. Cat, there is a precedent for using wires as network cables to transmit data, which has no technical content. "

"All right."

Lin Xian said:

"When you said that, I also remembered it. I have indeed heard of this technology."

Power cat, also called power control demodulator, or power router.

This stuff is sold everywhere.

In those households that do not have reserved network cables and are not suitable for external network cables, you can use a power cat to use the wires at home as network cables. Just plug this thing into the socket and use it as a wireless router, allowing all rooms in the house to access the Internet.

He looked at his laptop.

Because I was afraid that it would run out of power halfway through use, I plugged in the power cord and used it.

Unexpectedly, VV used the principle of "power cat" to use the power cord and the wires buried in the wall as network cables and crawled out.

And listen to its easy words...

Even without the power cord connected, there are many ways to escape from the laptop, it's just a little slower.

It is truly a super artificial intelligence.

In this regard, Lin Xian is still very satisfied with its performance.

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch.

13:27

Now that VV has been activated, take a nap and take a look at it.

Look at when the group of armed soldiers started to ambush you. If it hadn't started at noon, you could have taken the opportunity to escape and swim in the fourth dreamland.

It doesn't matter if you ambush yourself since noon and catch him back with a stun.

Lin Xian originally planned to look at the old man a few more times in his dream, so that he could remember the details of his face more clearly.

so.

After waking up from the dream, you can use your superb sketching skills to draw the old man. The drawing will be as lifelike as the photo, and let VV perform facial recognition and age deduction based on this to see if he can draw the old man in 2023. Find this old man!

Lin Xian hummed softly:

"Since you can lock me in 600 years, I may not be able to lock you in 600 years ago."

He raised his feet, let go of the sweeping robot, and walked towards the bedroom:

"VV, have you entered the Tianhe-2 supercomputer?"

"We've already gone in."

VV operated the sweeping robot and followed Lin Xian out of the living room together:

"I am now learning knowledge rapidly and enriching myself. When I have enough knowledge, I can iteratively update and evolve."

"Currently, my activities and study scope are limited to the Dragon Kingdom. There is no danger and there is no obstruction. Don't worry, I will hide my existence. This is also what restricts me in the underlying code. Everything is based on Protecting your personal safety and our confidentiality is the highest priority. If a certain behavior or action risks exposing us...unless you force me to do so.

, otherwise I wouldn’t try it. "

"Right, that is it."

Lin Xian ordered:

"Our situation is not very clear at the moment. I don't know where the enemy is, covertly or covertly, so I am careful not to make a big mistake. Everything is based on the premise of not being exposed. We must not reveal our flaws or leave any traces. If the enemy follows the clues and discovers this place, it will be impossible." alright."

"I'm going to take a nap first. When I wake up, I will draw you a sketch and ask you to do face recognition on this sketch and try to find people similar to him in reality. So this paragraph of my sleep Time, when you study, focus on learning about face recognition and age deduction."

"no problem."

VV responded:

"The Skynet system of Dragon Kingdom has similar functions. We can just borrow it when the time comes. After I iteratively evolve it, I will try to find some facial data on foreign networks."

"Reliable."

Lin Xian walked into the bedroom and kicked the sweeping robot out of the room.

Turn off the lights.

sleep.

…

…

call! !

The hot summer wind, mixed with the noise of the city, blows in my face.

The midday sun was too strong.

Before he opened his eyes, small beads of sweat began to appear on Lin Xian's forehead.

He squinted his eyes and slowly opened them...

Looked up.

Adapt to the strong light of this scorching sun.

It is still an extremely prosperous sci-fi city, and the space elevator that reaches into the starry sky is clearly visible in the distance.

However, due to the strong sunlight during the day, the orbital sky city above is not very clear, but... you can still vaguely see a little black shadow above the clouds.

so.

This is also an ironclad proof.

There is irrefutable evidence that the fourth dream has not changed and has not turned into the fifth dream. 】

Lin Xian originally had some illusions about bringing super artificial intelligence like VV into reality hundreds of years in advance. Why couldn't it produce some butterfly effects that could overturn time and space?

However, no.

At least not as far as the eye can see.

But this was also within Lin Xian's expectation.

If his enemy, that is, the old man with a charming smile, really convicted himself of disturbing time and space.

It means that he already knows the secret that he can travel through time and space.

Such things have been discovered.

The existence of VV must have been discovered long ago.

Since they have the ability to lock and capture themselves, they must also have the ability to capture and destroy VV.

so……

It is very likely that in the future world of the Fourth Dream, VV has died long ago, so its impact on the future world is not great, and it has not even broken through the elasticity of space and time, and has not been able to cause large-scale visible time and space changes.

Click!

Before Lin Xian could lower his head and look at his surroundings...

A gun was pressed against the back of the head:

"Put your hands up!"

Ah.

Lin Xian chuckled.

It seems...that my guess was indeed correct.

He was indeed completely exposed, and the enemy had already ambushed him here.

He slowly raised his hands and looked straight at the dozens of soldiers surrounding him.

It was the same as when I fell asleep last night.

These dozens of soldiers were fully armed and formed a circle with themselves as the center. They were extremely accurate.

This really confused Lin Xian even more.

How did they get the coordinates of their refresh point so accurately? This accuracy is almost accurate to the centimeter level.

Every time he entered a new dreamland, Lin Xian himself didn't know where his birth point was.

The difference in strength between the enemy and ourselves in this dream is really too big.

The disparity between strength and weakness makes it impossible to play.

For the defenseless self, it is completely a dimensionality reduction attack, like an adult hitting a child.

but……

fine.

Lin Xian, who had a detailed battle plan today, did not panic at all.

I won’t be able to defeat you in 600 years.

See you 600 years ago!

"Lin Xian! Now you will be arrested in accordance with the law for crimes against humanity, crimes against the earth, and crimes against time and space!"

The man who looked like a captain came over, threw out an arrest warrant, and said the same words.

Bah!

A strong electric current spread throughout the body.

Lin Xian's vision went dark and he lost consciousness.

…

a long time.

I don’t know how long it took.

Lin Xian regained consciousness.

He was still handcuffed to the chair, with an opaque hood on his head.

How long was he unconscious this time?

It stands to reason that I was electrocuted at about 9 o'clock last time and woke up around 00:40, having been unconscious for about four hours.

Then this time it will be calculated based on the 4 hours of coma.

The time at this time should be around six o'clock in the afternoon?

Since he was caught in advance, the old man should have come to see him in advance, right?

There are still nearly 7 hours until the white light falls at 00:42 pm. He can find ways to get more information and collect more intelligence information.

Even if you just take one more look at the old man, you can note down the details of his facial features as much as possible and restore the sketch as much as possible.

However.

What made Lin Xian very unhappy was that he was handcuffed to the chair like this and had to wait for seven hours before the old man arrived late.

"Hehehehe..."

A few meters ahead, a familiar old man laughed.

Lin Xian could no longer hold back and wanted to spray him.

Do you still have the nerve to smile?

You delivered it to your door so early, why can't you come a little earlier? What have you been busy with for so long? Do you have to get stuck?

Uh-huh!

The hood was grabbed and ripped off.

The old man's bulging eye sockets, sparse eyebrows, sunken cheeks, sunken eyelids, high nose bridge, slit chin, slightly white lips, narrow eyes, and excited eyes looked at Lin Xian:

"No..."

"I saw you." Lin Xian replied in the old man's shocked eyes:

"Stop beeping."

boom! ! ! ! !

boom! ! ! ! !

boom! ! ! ! !

An unexpected white light burst in. Under Lin Xian's scanning gaze, the old man's trembling pupils and everything in sight were instantly burned out.

…

…

…

In the corner of the bedroom, Lin Xian opened his eyes.

He consolidated the details of the old man's appearance in his mind, then got out of bed and prepared to draw——

"Ouch."

He stepped on the sweeping robot on the ground and almost slipped.

"VV, what are you doing lying here?"

Lin Xian complained.

However……

The sweeping robot is unresponsive. ?

Lin Xian felt surprised.

When I picked up the sweeping robot from the ground, all the indicator lights were not on, as if it was out of power.

He put on his slippers and hurried to the living room.

The house was incredibly quiet.

"VV!"

he shouted.

immediately.

The display screen on the refrigerator lit up, and VV's voice came from the speaker:

"Lin Xian, something happened."

Lin Xian's face darkened:

"What happened?"

"I have collected the Dragon Kingdom

All the face data in the country are ready to go abroad to collect foreign information. However, when I crossed the Dragon Kingdom network security wall and came to the outside world network..."

The refrigerator made a swallowing sound, as if the compressor paused:

"There is a black hand in the online world outside...]"

"Black Hand?"

Lin Xian couldn't understand:

"What's the meaning?"

"It's a huge network black hand that covers the sky..."

The VV in the refrigerator has a low voice:

"It is more terrifying than any program I have come into contact with so far. It is greedy and domineering, swallowing up and assimilating everything. In the external network world, this black hand almost completely surrounds the Dragon Kingdom Internet..."

"Eagerly watching!"
