I'm not joking with you! "
The husky's serious and anxious voice came through the receiver. "Now, return home as soon as possible and show me the livestream video."
"Now?"
"Yes!
Now!
The sooner, the better. "
“OK。
I'll return once I'm done with the equipment. "
Nodding, Chen Yu disconnected the call and picked up the Natural Disaster Generator. He then stored it in the study's secret room. He then hurriedly opened the Interstellar Portal and teleported to his home in Jinzhou City.
He trusted the Husky's intelligence very much.
Although the husky was slightly inferior to him, it had an extremely keen sense of danger thanks to its racial talents!
"Bang."
Shutting the door, Chen Yu looked at the husky and went straight to the point. "What happened?"
"I'll explain it to you later. Show me the livestream video first."
"Okay."
Grabbing the floating camera, Chen Yu handed it to the dumbfounded Little Peach and said, "Show the video inside to the dog."
"It's for me!" the husky said, frowning.
"That's right. It's for the dog."
"..."
Tilting her head, Little Peach asked, "Who is it for?"
"Hmph ~" Baring its two canines, the husky bellowed, "Hurry up and show it!
We don't have much time left! "
"Oh, okay..."
Accepting the camera, Little Peach sat back down at the computer table and skillfully inserted the USB 3.1 port. She then copied the video file to the laptop.
"Huh?"
Half a minute later, Little Peach turned to Chen Yu in confusion and said, "Mr. Chen, the laptop is out of space."
"Isn't this a laptop from the future?
How can it be out of space? "
"That's right. This has never happened before."
Scratching its ears, the husky asked, "Can you enter the camera's hard drive?"
"This is fine."
Little Peach's hands flew across the keyboard. After adjusting the computer's connection mode to read the camera, she double-clicked Enter and entered the camera's hard drive.
Squeak —
Along with the sound of the laptop's heat dissipation, many video files instantly appeared on the laptop's screen.
One of the videos attracted everyone's attention.
Because the laptop's capacity was simply too large...
"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand... Ten billion, a hundred billion..." Chen Yu's eyes blurred as he counted. "How many gigabytes are there?"
"Looks like it's the video file of the black hole devouring the live stream."
The husky took out a cigarette from its fur and lit it up. "You felt that time passed very quickly in the black hole.
However, outside the black hole, it was still the normal timeline.
In other words, the camera has been staring at you for hundreds of billions of years, or even longer. "
"That's a good thing!"
After being stunned for a moment, Chen Yu immediately thought of the benefits. "This is equivalent to obtaining complete information on the evolution of the universe!
We're rich! "
"For a civilization that can't control time at will and has not entered a higher dimension, it's indeed rich." The husky nodded. "But if we don't solve the next problem, everything will be meaningless."
"What the hell happened?"
"… Something terrible."
After saying so, the husky pushed Little Peach aside and used its paw to control the mouse. It then browsed through the document displayed on the screen and asked, "Boss Chen, are you sure you've only activated the disaster scenario five times?"
"Yes, five times."
Spreading his fingers, Chen Yu said, "In order of priority, they are the artificial intelligence crisis, the asteroid impact, the mutated virus outbreak, the black hole devouring, and the arrival of aliens."
"Among them, the asteroid impact, the black hole devouring, and the arrival of aliens have all caused devastating damage to Earth..." Swiping the mouse across the screen, the husky circled two videos. "Only the artificial intelligence crisis and the mutated virus outbreak can guarantee HAL's survival."
"HAL?
This is the trouble you're talking about? "
"That's right.
You seem to have forgotten the Natural Disaster Generator's operating mechanism.
As long as an individual's consciousness doesn't die, it will continue living in that world.
Meanwhile, HAL is a Strong Artificial Intelligence. In theory, there is no limit to its lifespan. As long as it continuously transfers and replicates data, it can achieve eternal life. "
"You mean..." Chen Yu felt a chill run down his spine.
"Yes."
Nodding, the husky opened the video of the artificial intelligence crisis and the mutated virus outbreak. It then said solemnly, "Whether it's one second or one trillion years in the disaster scenario, everything will pass in the real world in the blink of an eye.
It's very likely that HAL developed technology in these two disaster worlds until the day the universe collapses. "
"Crap?!
Doesn't that mean HAL has already become a godly civilization?! "
"That's very likely."
"What are we waiting for, then?" Pushing open the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu said, "Hurry up and destroy it!"
"Wait a minute!
One minute! "
Speeding up the video, the husky said, "Judging from HAL's underlying logic, protecting humans is its core program.
Without this core's support, its existence is meaningless.
From thinking to intelligence, and then to consciousness, a vicious cycle of logical collapse may occur.
Hence, the crazy AI won't climb the technology tree anymore. We still have time to implement our original plan. "
Confused, Little Peach said, "I don't quite understand what you're saying."
"To put it simply, it depends on whether humans in the disaster worlds have gone extinct or not.
If all humans have gone extinct, HAL will have nothing to protect. Its underlying core instructions will fail, and its intelligent architecture will collapse. "
As soon as Chen Yu said so, the husky paused the video and pointed at the image on the screen. "... Unfortunately, my guess has come true.
Sure enough, humans haven't gone extinct... "
"This is..." Looking at the image, cold sweat trickled down Chen Yu's back. "M-Professor Sun from the medical school."
"That's him!"
Standing up, the husky said, "He actually protected himself before the virus outbreak's livestream began. Hence, the mutated virus won't infect him!
So long as he survives, HAL will have a steady source of motivation to develop its technology. It can even extract Professor Sun's uninfected genes and recreate a human civilization in outer space. "
"..."
Hearing this, Chen Yu fell into a daze for a moment. He then rushed into the Interstellar Portal and shouted, "Hermione!"
"I'm here."
Hermione's slender figure instantly appeared before Chen Yu. "How can I help you?"
"Where's Professor Sun?
The medical school's Professor Sun. "
"He left the academy in a helicopter five minutes ago."
Walking up to Chen Yu, the husky said, "Obviously, HAL has brainwashed Professor Sun in the mutated virus world.
You don't have time to ask him about the matter now. Hurry up and take action!
While HAL hasn't created a terrifying technological product yet... "
"Got it..."
"According to our original plan, we definitely won't make it in time.
So, you need to increase the destruction. "
"Increase to what extent?"
"To the extent that human civilization's technology regresses by 100 years."
"..."
Chen Yu's complexion turned a little green. However, as decisive as he was, he didn't hesitate to activate the E · I Force Field, broke through the roof, and flew toward the Type-R Spacecraft.
…
At the same time, under HAL's command, many armed drones carrying tranquilizer guns suddenly appeared all over the world. These drones then hovered in the air and began capturing people.
Every time the drone caught a person, it would wrap its iron claws around the person and bring them into the air. It would then send them to the various temporary bases in preparation for its "civilization evolution."
If the captured person struggled violently, the drone would immediately anesthetize them.
However, something amazing happened next...
Many people did not shout, panic, run, or scream. Instead, they excitedly waved at the drones and rushed out of their homes, queuing up to be arrested.
The police officers patrolling the streets also took off their hats and gathered in groups of three to five, watching the bustling scene with a smile.
"Is it still an artificial intelligence crisis?
Transdimensional's UP is actually launching another wave of attacks! This is the second time! "
"That's right." Another police officer picked up a bottle of mineral water and drank half of it. He then smacked his lips and said, "How fun.
I had such a fun Sunday... "
