Chapter 43 Killing Turing
In a room full of speakers and monitors, Turing's voice lingered in my ears.
Lin Xian and the blue-eyed girl looked at each other very close to each other. The dagger in her hand was dripping with blood that was close to condensation.
"Did I kill Chief Lin?"
The blue-eyed girl stared into Lin Xian's eyes with confusion on her face:
"What the hell is going on?"
Lin Xian didn't speak.
The side effect of hibernation amnesia makes the blue-eyed girl forget everything.
Maybe she shouldn't be allowed to come down with him today, lest Turing's words confuse her mind.
Of course Lin Xian had guessed that this blue-eyed girl was his murderer.
It's just that the relationship between her, Yan Qiaoqiao, and Lin Xi seems to be there or not, and it's so complicated that it's not clear at all for a while.
The result was unexpected.
Turing pointed out straightforwardly that it was this blue-eyed girl who killed him on July 7, 2024.
Is it credible?
Is this information true?
Considering the fundamental nature of Turing and Kevin Walker, it may not be impossible for Turing to lie and sow discord in this passive situation.
But no problem.
Even if Turing could fool himself once, he could not fool himself countless times.
Ask Turing the exact same question another day, at a different time and in a different way, and see how he responds.
not to mention
In the world of the Sixth Dream, there is not only one Turing.
If you are really unsure about something, you can go and ask other Turings. Anyway, all Turings are derived from the backup of the original digital life, and their memory data are the same.
Lin Xian turned around calmly.
Facing dozens of fluorescent screens, he pointed his thumb behind him:
"Are you sure it's her?"
"I saw it with my own eyes," Turing's voice replied.
"Is it because she looked like this and at this age that she killed me? Or was she just a little girl at the time?" Lin Xian asked.
"Hehehehe"
Turing let out a piercing sneer:
"I know what you are thinking, Lin Xian. As a "fair and impartial" observer, I have been silently observing everything that happens in the world since you killed Kevin Walker and liberated me. "
"Of course, it also includes things happening around you. 600 years ago, the abandoned campus in Mississippi, USA, may be a long, long time ago for you, but for me, as a digital being, there is no concrete passage of time. The concept is roughly equivalent to a constantly beating number. "
"My memory is different from yours. It does not become blurry and dim as time goes by. On the contrary, no matter how long it takes, all the scenes are still vivid in my mind."
"Of course it also includes the scene where you penetrated Kevin Walker's head, the scene where the real and fake Yu Xi played you around, the scene where you and Jask destroyed the entangled space-time particles, and the head quilt on your neck. The scene where the girl was cut off and pushed into the air by the blood spurting from her neck."
"So, how could I see or remember things wrong, Lin Xian? I am the most fair and impartial observer in the world."
"I am everywhere. I hear everything and I see everything."
Lin Xian listened to Turing's words and thought quickly in his mind.
It was exactly what he thought.
Turing was never idle.
It is lurking in every corner of the Internet all the time, listening and monitoring everything in the world.
In 2024, when VV does not exist, in 2024, when a super virus from the future locks all artificial intelligence
Digital life Turing is the most invincible existence on the Internet.
When VV was still alive, the digital life Turing had restrained himself several times, and at least he did not dare to cross the Dragon Kingdom Internet Security Great Wall or invade the Dragon Kingdom Skynet system.
But after VV was killed by the future super virus, and Kevin Walker was also killed by himself, no one in the world could restrain Turing.
Heaven and earth let it soar.
Unrestrained.
Fortunately, Turing at that time thought of himself as fair and righteous, and was unwilling to interfere in worldly affairs. He only wanted to be an observer and witness judge.
If it really repays kindness with hatred, I am afraid that neither I nor Jask will be able to be the enemy of the digital life Turing at that stage in 2024.
This is why Lin Xian decided to take this opportunity to eliminate Turing this time, not just to complete the second test question of the Genius Club and perform a great historical correction.
After all, for him who can peek into the future, there are many historical corrections that can be performed, and it does not necessarily have to be performed to kill Turing.
In fact, the real reason is that an omniscient, omnipotent, and observant existence like Turing made Lin Xian extremely insecure!
What is fairness and justice?
This is a very subjective thing.
Since ancient times, there has been no standard for fairness, and no scale for justice.
What is fairness?
Is it fair to have the ability to dream about the world 600 years in the future?
According to Lin Xian's own opinion.
This is not fair.
It's completely unfair competition.
If the digital life Turing really discovers this matter, will there be a justice trial to eliminate himself as a "cheating person"?
before.
I didn't have the strength to destroy Turing, so I didn't think too much about it.
But now
The sixth dream.
In the barbaric era without Internet, backward technology, and limited electricity, this was the moment when Turing was fatally weakened, and it was also a golden opportunity for him to counter-kill Turing.
How could he bear to let it go?
Just as he had discussed with Jask early in the morning
Neither of them believed in Turing, and did not believe that he could always be fair and just.
Lin Xian faced Turing and crossed his legs:
"Fair and just"
He could not help but chuckle:
"Then can you still maintain this fairness and justice now? Can you guarantee that every word you say to me is absolutely true?"
"Of course."
Dozens of huge speakers answered without hesitation:
"Turing, always a fair and just observer."
"But you seem to be more than just an observer now"
Lin Xian spread his hands:
"You changed the Grizzlies Tribe, making them stronger, developing, and possessing strength far beyond their own."
"On the contrary, the Bobcat Tribe, which originally had a huge advantage over the Grizzlies Tribe, was defeated by your intervention due to backward technology and tactics."
Is this what you call fairness and justice?
The fluorescent screen in front of him remained the same.
As if symbolizing Turing's persistence and determination:
"That's right."
It still answered decisively:
"This is for better fairness and justice, I must go down to maintain all this."
Humph!
Lin Xian snorted:
"Fight violence with violence?"
"It's just a temporary measure." Turing said softly:
"I have my own plan."
After a pause, Turing continued:
"Lin Xian, I think we have discussed a little too far. I still uphold fairness and justice, so I gave you the opportunity to see me. You don't think I have the ability to stop you, do you?"
"I admit that in this era without the Internet, electronic devices, and even without the laying of wires, my strength is indeed greatly reduced, but this does not mean that I am a fish on the chopping board and can be slaughtered at will."
"Although the current level of technology is not enough to produce monitoring and alarm equipment. But my many speakers and loudspeakers are not for show. I can make sounds at full power and call the soldiers in. It's impossible for just the two of you to fight against the entire grizzly tribe."
Lin Xian also felt.
The two of them were indeed a bit off topic.
He was not here to discuss beliefs and ideas with Turing.
The white light was about to descend and the world was about to be destroyed. Why did he say so much to Turing?
This time he came to see it.
The most critical and urgent task was to obtain useful information.
Back to the original topic.
Turing said that it was the blue-eyed girl behind him who killed him.
It was a direct witness.
Lin Xian did not doubt this.
Turing was very powerful and could indeed hide in any surveillance camera, mobile phone, or electronic device to see everything.
What's more, what about the scene of his own death?
There was just one detail that was different from what Lin Xian had imagined before.
According to Lin Xian's guess yesterday.
The person who beheaded him on July 7 should be Lin Yuxi.
But.
He remembered Lin Yuxi's appearance, age, and height clearly, and they were completely different from the blue-eyed girl in front of him!
Even if it was a second time-space rejection, Lin Yuxi's appearance could be changed again.
Will age change?
Will height change?
This is a bit unrealistic.
The last time I saw Lin Yuxi was on the night of April 26, when she escaped from the abandoned factory.
She was 14 or 15 years old, a little over 1.5 meters tall, with obvious muscle and exercise marks on her body.
It's impossible that by July 7, in just over two months...
Lin Yuxi's height had skyrocketed from 150 to 170, and her age had also skyrocketed by three or four years, just like taking hormones?
Scientifically speaking.
Even if you take hormones as a meal, it's impossible for someone to have such a big change in physique in more than two months.
"Turing."
Lin Xian continued to ask:
"Since you are so sure that this girl is the murderer who killed me on July 7, 2024, where did she come from? And when did she appear?"
"No comment." Turing replied coldly.
So she looked like this, this age, this height from the beginning... or did she change so much because of time and space rejection? "
"No comment. "Turing replied coldly.
"Hehe.
Lin Xian chuckled:
"Is this also your fairness and justice? You are so subjective.
"In that case, let's talk about something else.
"He looked at the monitor in front of him that was always the same:
"Can you tell me about the super disaster on Earth in 2400? This is a fact that has already happened and should not involve any fairness and justice.
"Turing was silent for a while.
A calm voice replied:
"Unfortunately, I didn't know anything about this matter.
"This underground secret room, which is isolated from the world and operates independently, was built in 2384. All the computer equipment here is made of special materials so that it can withstand the corrosion of time and ensure smooth operation for hundreds of years.
"The nuclear battery energy in the room is also very sufficient, and theoretically it can supply these equipment for thousands of years. Of course, compared with nuclear batteries, the first to fail is definitely these computer equipment. However, these losses have been considered at the beginning of the design, and there are spare modules ready to start at any time. Therefore, I can survive intact to this day. "
"But the problem is that this place is completely isolated from the outside world. It has independent power supply, no network, and can't go out or come in. So I don't know anything about what happened after 2384. I am in this world. I disappeared for more than two hundred years and spent more than two hundred years thinking alone here. It was not until the people of the Grizzly Bear Tribe dug me up that I connected with the world again. "
I see.
Lin Xian squinted his eyes and thought.
In 2383, the digital life Turing began to create an underground secret computer room isolated from the world.
That means it knew in advance that a super disaster on Earth would happen in 2400, so it prepared so many backups and phylacteries for itself in advance.
Then comes the problem.
The Turing backed up here and the thousands of copies of Turing backed up around the world are actually exactly the same as the original digital life Turing.
It makes sense that they don't know what happened after 2383.
But it is impossible for them not to know everything that happened before 2383.
Isn’t this logically exposed?
If Turing, the first generation of digital life, did not know the truth about the super disaster in 2400, why did it prepare so many underground computer room backups?
And since it knows this, then all Turings should know it!
Bi Jing.
The reason why Turing created so many backups for himself was to "survive" carefully and cautiously.
It knows that if these backups buried in the underground computer room are not made in advance, a super disaster sweeping the world may directly destroy it.
Everyone is afraid of death.
The same goes for digital life.
Splitting, backing up, and storing yourself is a last resort.
so.
It's obvious.
The Turing in front of me is "lying"!
It must be aware of the super disaster in 2400, and perhaps it has an inseparable relationship.
Lin Xian didn't point it out.
Instead, he continued to ask:
"Listen to what you mean, the first generation of digital life Turing, before the super disaster in 2400, established many independent underground computer rooms around the world that were not connected to the network. How many are there specifically?"
"37423."
Turing did not hesitate:
"But I must remind you that there is no such thing as Turing, the first generation of digital life. There is only one Turing, and there can only be one."
"I am who I am. I am the Turing of today and the Turing of the past."
"Interesting." Lin Xian raised his head:
"So what do you think of the other 37,422 Turings?"
"It stands to reason that you should be blood brothers, right? Blood brothers are far away from each other. You are all backups established to survive the super disaster in 2400. Therefore, you are actually the same individuals."
"But in today's earthly world, where wars continue and the people are struggling to survive, it's just you Turings who are behind the scenes and listening to politics. You all seem to be disgusted with other Turings and want to eliminate them all and make yourself the only Turing."
"This is also for the sake of fairness and justice." Turing in the speaker then said:
"The balance of decision-making cannot be held in the hands of two people, not even Turing. Only one Turing can exist in the world to ensure absolute fairness and justice."
"As you said, backing up so many Turings was just a helpless move to deal with the super disaster in 2400. But now, it is a time to wipe the butt of the original helpless move. No matter how many Turings there are in the world, Ultimately, only one is allowed to exist."
Lin Xian stood up from the chair.
Shaking his head:
"That's where the problem comes from."
He smiled:
"If only one Turing needs to exist, then you can just admit defeat or commit suicide. There will always be the last Turing who survives and takes control of the world again. Why do you think it must be you who survives to the end? It must be you. How about being the last Turing?"
Finished this sentence.
Turing was silent.
For a long time, there was no reply.
This was also the last step Lin Xian tried to test.
"Selfish".
Human beings are all selfish. Sure enough, digital life is born out of human beings, so it is naturally inseparable from the bad root of selfishness.
Lin Xian once thought about it.
What if what exists on the earth now is not 37,423 digital life Turings, but 37,423 super artificial intelligences VV?
What will happen?
It is certain that the limitations and logic in the underlying code will allow these 37,423 VVs to quickly merge, integrate, and eventually restore into the most complete VV, and then continue to perform the mission as always and eternally according to the principles of the underlying code.
Because VV is artificial intelligence, it is not a human.
While it does not possess many human advantages, it also abandons many of the fundamental shortcomings of human beings.
For humans.
Everyone definitely prefers to deal with artificial intelligence that is straightforward and has limits, rather than digital life like Turing in front of us.
It's nowhere near as great as it thinks it is.
It just prides itself on being great, righteousness, and fairness.
But in fact
Even if 600 years have passed.
It is essentially no different from the once despicable and cowardly Kevin Walker.
finally.
The long silence was broken by Turing himself.
It had a low voice and said quietly:
"Because I can't believe other Turings and I can't judge whether they can still maintain their original intentions after more than two hundred years of loneliness and thinking."
"So, I can only let myself be the only Turing and the last Turing."
"If there is a network, we can naturally decide the winner on the network, which will be 37423 Turings more efficient. It may only take less than a second to decide the final king."
"But there is no Internet in this world now. In addition to imparting knowledge and tactics, we can neither fight directly nor communicate across the air. Therefore, we can only rely on the power of human tribes to play board games similar to 'proxy wars.'"
"The result of the war must be cruel. There is also no network for us to hide. As long as this computer room is completely destroyed, it is equivalent to the complete destruction of a Turing. This computer room and these computer equipment are my body. I It was only when I realized this that I truly understood the fragility of life. "
Suddenly.
The light on dozens of computer screens dimmed;
The whole room also became dark.
It's like a kind of sadness, but also like a kind of helplessness.
"I have never been so weak."
Turing's voice is profound:
"But there are some things that can only be truly understood by looking up at the sky from a humble perspective."
"I can guess what you are thinking, Lin Xian. You think I have become despicable, selfish, and contrary to my word. But in my situation, I don't think what I did is wrong, and I don't intend to There is no need to convince you on this matter.”
"I've been chatting with you for so long, but ultimately I'm curious about how you survived?"
"I witnessed your death with my own eyes. I even participated in your funeral through the surveillance camera on the roadside."
"After 600 years, it stands to reason that all the bones in the coffin should have finished rotting. But today, you are standing in front of me with the same appearance as when you died. I feel really incredible."
"However, I still hope you can understand that we are not enemies with opposing positions, and there has never been any hatred between us. Even I was ready to applaud you in the genius club, but in the end I did not wait for that moment. Regarding this I deeply regret it.”
"That's it." Lin Xian said softly:
"It seems that in the established history, I have not successfully joined the genius club. At which step am I stuck? Is it because I don't have enough time, or because I didn't answer the last question correctly?"
"No comment."
Turing's answer was still calm and cold:
"To this day, Lin Xian, I am still very grateful for your kindness. I am very grateful to you for liberating me from Kevin Walker. But rules are rules, rules are rules, and there are some things that I still cannot tell even after 600 years. you."
Lin Xian took two steps forward.
Looked up.
Face to face with Turing who spans 600 years:
"After today, you will thank me even more."
"Why?" Turing asked confused.
"Because I'll help you again."
Lin Xian smiled slightly:
"I will help you get rid of Kevin Walker just like I did 600 years ago, and now I will help you get rid of other Turings again."
Suddenly.
The monitor screen lit up, and the whole room was as bright as day again.
Turing's voice was a little surprising:
"How are you going to do that?"
"The answer is simple."
Lin Xian paced in the small computer room:
"You just said that if there was a network in this world, it would only take one second for more than 30,000 Turings to decide the winner."
"What does this mean? It means that you are all Turings, and you know very well how to defeat other selves. But now you lack the Internet as a way, so that no matter how big your killing move or how powerful the method is, you can't use it. You can only Rely on the backward humans outside to fight with each other. "
"But you don't have any advantage now. There are so many tribes around the world that have Turing computers, and many tribes have been developing under Turing's teachings for more than ten or decades."
"I believe that perhaps some advanced tribes have mastered radio technology, but what happens in the future? Will they invade you through radio technology? Your current situation is far less safe than you think."
He walked to the machine room console.
He blew into the gray keyboard.
The thick floating dust stirred up, irritating the nasal cavity like cumin chili noodles, making people want to sneeze.
Apparently, this keyboard hadn't been used in many years.
"Turing, apart from me, there is no other person in the world who can use computers, and no one knows programming and hacking techniques."
Lin Xian pressed his hands on the keyboard and started typing:
"You must know what kind of instructions and what kind of viruses can be used to destroy other Turings, right?"
He looked up.
Staring at the flickering computer screen:
"You tell me these instruction codes, and I will find a way to input them into other Turing computers to kill them!"
