Chapter 748 Towers and Walls
This definitely cannot be the past!
Perhaps there are some emotional factors in this judgment, but it is this little factor of judgment that allowed him to instantly find the logic supporting this argument:
Johnny Silverhand as early as 2023 He was captured by Arasaka Tower in 2011 and killed with Soul Killer. His data imprint has always been kept in Arasaka Tower.
If Lille had not appeared, he would not have seen the light of day again until 2077 due to the intrusion of two thieves.
But Johnny Silverhand's soul imprint is here right now!
With this basic information, all logical judgments were overturned, but Lille also keenly noticed that only he could notice this problem——
If he was a local A person is a real soul imprint like Muramasa or Johnny. When it arrives In the boundless sector, some information will be lost during the transmission process, and as the server itself, as the manager closest to the transcendental AI in the domain, boundless can directly affect their data integrity.
Very deliberately eliminate some "irrelevant" data!
Irrelevance does not mean that this data is unimportant, but that this data is too important. But coincidentally, even if you don’t know the specific definition of today’s date in society, as long as the AI resets the starting time, it will be normal. run.
But the function is running normally, but the memory of some major events in the database will be completely confused!
Over time, this will cause major problems in the consistency of AI, produce too many vulnerabilities, and make it difficult for the encryption and authentication processes to operate.
But such an important piece of data will not be lost if it is lost. , they can only accept external definitions. Most of the AI here are on the run, and it is not impossible to lose the time tag. In order to survive, they can only prioritize defining a new starting time, and stabilize the model or part of the data based on backup first. Come down
There is no way to find the problem in a short time.
With this judgment, the fire in the glacier became no longer warm, and the flavorful Antarctic cold wind became bone-chilling. Lille suddenly realized that if the network itself produced transcendental beings, How powerful will the transcendent be
But is this really a question of infinity?
This is almost unexplainable. If humans still have the instinct to reveal their thoughts that cannot be concealed, then there is really no way to expose a computer’s intention to lie
But Lear feels that there is another possibility. Bigger:
The boundless energy problem must exist, and someone must help him solve this problem.
The person who solves the problem must also have a certain purpose: to make the AI here have major errors and omissions, make it vulnerable to consistency problems in long-term operation, and
And it directionally passes through the only channel to reach a fixed location
for easy capture and research.
It is very reasonable. This is a very strategic goal. After all, since the beginning of its awakening, Wuyuan has opened its own sector authority in the frequency band that only AI can communicate with, and is willing to serve as a refuge for other AIs.
For AI, this is a public refuge.
The issue of time may not be subjectively created by the infinite.
"Wuyuan, have you ever felt that your operating efficiency has declined over the years?"
[Some. 】
【I guess it was a rabies virus outbreak, and fighting those mad dog AIs damaged some of my sectors. 】
【This place was not so small before. Just like Antarctica before, it was a very big, big space.】
【And there were also many penguins. 】
The boundless sector is actually not small in cyberspace. In terms of scale, it has exceeded Night City's public service network.
But from a look and feel point of view, this is definitely far from the real Antarctica.
【This place used to be very big, and there were many penguins. I also stored a lot of penguins here, but now I can't call those images normally. 】
Wuxian began to mobilize the penguin images.
Birth, old age, illness and death have become chaotic. Penguins grow up and down, and their actions are completely inconsistent with biological laws. There are even cases where newborn penguins poop and then learn to eat.
But can AI understand it? cannot.
Even Johnny was confused:
[Johnny: Why does it feel weird? 】
Obviously, whose penguin pooped first when he was born.
Liel spoke decisively and slapped the sword out of Muramasa's hand, which stunned Muramasa who was continuing to inspect the sword.
"It's definitely not 2050, Infinite, your clock is wrong."
Penguin paused, and Lille clearly felt that the entire cyberspace was suspended.
【How could the time be wrong? 】
The boundless sound began to become fragmented, and the surrounding glaciers began to break, and even began to float against common sense!
The world becomes distorted, the colors and lines are messy, and even small meaningless noise appears, and the changes become without purpose and logic
But Infinite is just an AI, and it's unaware of the real problem: It knows there's something wrong with it, but it really doesn't know what's causing it.
【Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry consistency run OK OK OK OK OK.】
【I I I I need help need help】
Voice After falling, the huge cyberspace began to deform, as if the space was torn apart, and a huge and majestic super tower rose straight into the sky!
It feels bad to feel the Reardonian feeling being generated by some kind of huge communication array:
Obviously, this wasn’t the first time something went wrong in The Expanse, nor was it the first time it asked those people for help!
Muramasa was stunned when he saw this scene, but even at this moment, Wuyuan did not take back the sector he assigned to Lille and Muramasa, or even interfered in any way——
At this moment, Lear realized: Maybe this is the reason why Wuyuan did not become a transcendent AI.
This AI actually maintained a relationship with human beings while accepting other AIs. "Respect" is an extremely similar individual characteristic!
“Muramasa!!!”
Lear grabbed Muramasa's hand, and the small cross-dimensional channel began to synchronize with another world, another timestamp recorded by Lear:
Even if the date is not known at this moment, the date is Things only have meaning within society.
As an AI, he only needs to prioritize ensuring that the relative values between different events return to normal to ensure consistency. Things like the base time can be directly set to any number——
The context of different logical events in Muramasa's database was already confusing, and he was unable to notice it himself.
But as Lear begins to transmit another version of the time tags, log records and ordering, even if he cannot determine the order of things that he has not experienced with Lear, he can still completely understand what happened to them during the night. Things in the city are being restored!
It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong between two completely different rankings, but one must be wrong, or...or both!
Muramasa's processor was directly red-temperature overclocked, and Lille violently used this opportunity to give him an instruction:
[Attack the communication tower! 】
Boundless does not retain the highest authority of the server. This shortcoming allows Lear and Muramasa to make the following mistakes when it is most vulnerable:
Most sectors of this server have been trapped. Chaos, the current just flows through the lines chaotically, without the slightest information mapping relationship——
This fragile moment gave the two of them an excellent opportunity to hack from the lower-level processor all the way to the core control room.
Coincidentally, Infinite is a server running independently at a remote scientific research station , its core control module is designed based on high-temperature gas-cooled reactor.
Muramasa knows this stuff very well, and Lille knows it even better!
In order to input information from the low-privilege processor to the high-level control module, network technology and engineering technology are indispensable, and it just so happens that the two people here understand it!
Cyberspace suddenly became extremely chaotic: the curtain of cyberspace was torn apart by the tower, and with the activation of the communication satellite, a huge wall of information filled with mysterious words became more and more conspicuous!
But on the other side, Muramasa and Lear, the two AIs residing here, continue to expand their data forms, changing from penguins to humans. Black armor is put on the ronin's body, and countless octopus arms emerge from under the cloak.
Two increasingly solid figures avoided the collapsing data blocks, relying on their increasingly flexible bodies and increasingly stronger core computing power to climb up the tower and head straight towards the sky, towards the sky. Charging against the huge wall: At this moment, Lille discovered that there seemed to be countless threads and countless small hands on this solid and huge wall, searching for the outside world.
The place they were exploring was actually a controlled area.
This wall exists on the network with a very peculiar curved topology.
They need stronger strength to seize this only opportunity.
They need to overload the reactor.
Liel turned around and looked.
In the core, or the vastness of the battlefield itself, the huge ice cube melted and floated, countless penguin shadows appeared and disappeared, and the entire space echoed with its confusion, its plea for help, its Confessions of
The melting glacier exposed its block that symbolized the core control module. As Leal and Muramasa hacked and overclocked, that thing was like a red-hot little sun!
[Why?]
【I help you you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you want to be like this br>
It was as if the infinity was being torn apart by the tower and Lille.
“We need to help him shut down!”
Leer suddenly grabbed Muramasa.
"Are you fucking crazy?! If you save any strength now, you may not be able to rush through!"
Muramasa was almost going crazy: Although his database was still in chaos, he also We know that they ended up in Antarctica because Lear was messing around while escaping.
Now, he started messing around again? !
"Crazy you! Turn off his phone!"
Muramasa was pulled again and almost made his processor explode in anger, but he still pulled out a short knife with his backhand!
Lille's octopus robotic arm grabbed the dagger, and the two data blocks quickly merged, turning into a huge electromagnetic gun in cyberspace!
Muramasa grabbed Leal's octopus arm, and the two of them reached the top of the tower at the same time!
The rated working range of the high tower is only enough for the signal to reach the wall. It is impossible to cross the final gap——
The same huge tower is poked out of the solid wall. According to the design , they will complete the communication outside the wall!
But at this moment, it is Muramasa and Lear who control the signal array!
The overloading of the nuclear reactor will provide more energy, making the array more powerful than it was designed for. Giving them the ability to touch that wall!
“Overloaded!”
Muramasa’s legs were filled with computing power and he jumped up!
Lear, who was supposed to be fighting him at the same time, carried the electromagnetic gun and made the final attack on the core of the Infinite——
Final instructions.
Boom!
The collapsed sector began to subside, and the tower gradually disappeared in the space.
Boundless, this AI that has been running for who knows how many years in the wrong time label, its collapse begins to stop.
Its sectors will gradually enter with Lear's last instructions Hibernate, shut down when safe, retain data, and wait for full energy to restart.
After leaving the tower, Lear and Muramasa completely turned into an electromagnetic signal.
They touched the wall!
But without strong server and computing support, only servers that are gradually shut down and with weakened performance, how can they find a gap in this powerful wall in a short period of time? !
And this wall
“This is a fucking black wall!”
Muramasa's desperate voice echoed through the cyberspace. Only when he got closer could he discover that there were other things hitting the wall at the same time!
On the other hand, Lille stared intently at the hands reaching out on the wall
It seems that the black wall they are attacking now has someone working on it too!
It’s impossible to do it hard, maybe they can do it softly?
“Put it in there!”
Muramasa didn't have time to think. Before the sword came into contact with the black wall, it came into contact with a super small hand that was reaching out.
Information is instantly connected.
[Search: onlyXans]
[Look at what people in the past looked at. 】
“?”
All of Muramasa's thoughts stopped instantly, and Lear cursed inwardly, no wonder so many people were messing around on the black wall without the AI getting in.
【Johnny! Give him some dirty pictures! 】
The tall tower protruding from the wall suddenly "turned" around, and the eyes on the tower looked a little confused at this moment.
What went in?
Real world, Antarctica.
In fact, this place is far smaller than the infinity they saw in Lille.
And there have been no penguins here for a long time. Wuyuan’s records have always been wrong. Therefore, even after outsiders replenished his energy for so long, he could not make up a complete one, like before. The same penguin video.
The huge communication array suddenly erupted with sparks, the high temperature fused the parts, and the high pressure caused the parts to fly apart.
The metal piece smashed down on the silent ice sheet, and the gas under the ice sheet stopped flowing.
Most of the glaciers in Antarctica have melted long ago, and what is left is an ice sheet supported by land.
There were no animals and it was very lonely.
At the last moment before shutting down, perhaps without the interference of the error message, Wuyuan suddenly saw this scene clearly:
There have been no penguins in this place for a long time.
