Chapter 898 Imperfect World, Heavy Punk
[Advisor: Welcome to Europa Spire, Mr. Elliot Grove. 】
Cyberspace is completely divided.
After all, cyberspace is not a different-dimensional space, but a space formed by the interaction of electromagnetic waves. Whether humans or AI, they are all trying to understand these electromagnetic waves that carry information in a way that they can understand.
The specifications of this elevator are so high that it can almost be regarded as a highly private personal preparation hall. Under normal circumstances, passengers can complete any preparations before attending a banquet or event here.
This voice revealed an extreme sense of rationality and politeness.
This makes people feel slightly uneasy.
[Advisor: I am the administrator of this spire and an advisor to the center's executive committee, providing them with the most advanced AI for alliance governance and other private services. 】
"AI?"
Elliot froze.
[Advisor: Yes, I am a very high-level AI. You can see in history textbooks that before the collapse of the old network, a large number of judges and governors used AI to make recommendations, both in the United States and Europe. refer to. 】
[Consultant: That’s my position. 】
[Advisor: The Center’s Executive Committee will soon incorporate you into the Center’s governing system and be directly subordinate to them. I think we will be colleagues in the future. 】
"Okay. Then what should I call you?"
[Advisor: You can call me "Minerva", or directly call me my position, advisor. 】
[Consultant: Let me explain the next itinerary for you. The center executive committee is already waiting at the Ecological Theater, but before that, you and your companions will undergo a comprehensive prosthetic surgery to eliminate some potential risks. 】
After the words fell, Elliot was stunned——
He has come a long way with Lear, and even if his brain is not strong enough and he has not learned too many real skills from Muramasa, some conceptual things still sound like cocoons.
This reaction is not noticeable under normal circumstances, but it is very noticeable in a closed space completely monitored by AI.
But he still couldn't restrain this reaction, because this place was closed and there was no one except him.
[Liel: This consultant is really not stupid, he is much smarter than Muramasa. 】
[Lille: If we were on your body, then it stored on the server of the entire European Community would definitely be able to crush the me stored in your mind head-on. 】
[Lille: But he did miss something.]
[Lille: I can fight back. 】
Lille has saved a lot of technology points. This elevator is indeed strong, basically equivalent to a steel cage, but it is not completely invincible.
But the moment Lille finished speaking, the consultant's voice picked up:
[Advisor: This can effectively isolate the possible risk of flowing AI, but the changes you have caused across Europe have greatly exceeded my expectations, so.]
[Advisor: If you show any ability to break the blockade, it is entirely possible. 】
[Advisor: However, Mr. Elliot Grove, please think carefully and calmly before you or a possible wandering AI commits a possible violent act. 】
[Consultant: Think about what you have gained, lost, and the future you can gain during this journey, and the future you may lose. 】
In the slowly rising elevator, Elliot felt cold sweat soaking his entire back.
This AI called the consultant knows, or has it always been based on the premise that there is a rogue AI behind him?
Did they always know?
Just like their helmet that they don't know where it came from, they have always known it?
In Elliot's mind, Lear had already noticed this, right from the moment they stepped into the elevator.
But what surprised Lille the most was not this, but the signal in another frequency band that echoed in the elevator
From the moment Elliot stepped into the elevator, the consultant has been using signals that can only be decoded by Flow AI and dangerous critical bodies to pass on the second layer of information.
[Consultant: Are you the AI that broke through the inner wall defense a month ago? 】
[Advisor: Let’s open the skylight and speak frankly. 】
[Consultant: What do you think he will choose? 】
Johnny and Muramasa are both completely enclosed in the smallest functional sector at this moment——
If it hadn't been Lear who was trapped, they would have been screwed, and now they could only listen and watch.
Johnny and Muramasa are already as anxious as ants on a hot pot! They almost wanted to rush into other sectors and yell at Lille and Elliot: Don't be a coward! Get up and crush this fucking AI!
The situation is now very obvious: not only can they not catch the EC by surprise, but they should obviously enter a state of escape. All this requires Elliot's cooperation!
Regardless of whether it is bewitching or threatening, as long as the consultant strips them away, they will be dead! They will completely lose the initiative!
It’s just that they didn’t notice that both Lille and the consultant were very quiet——
Logically speaking, now should be the time for both parties to use all means to control and coerce this little fat man.
Elliot also realized that his head was too quiet.
".You want to threaten me with Alina? Or Sevens, or"
[Consultant: None, I will not threaten you. On the contrary, I will also give my blessings to your union. 】
[Consultant: You have achieved everything in this journey that little people dream of. 】
[Advisor: And in the future, you will also lead the European Community back to outer space as planned, improve the situation of the entire European Community, and move towards true light——]
[Advisor: In fact, I have planned a number of anti-corruption actions for you after taking office. In order to bring a bright future to the European Community, we have a lot of work to do. 】
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
[Advisor: But this is all based on the fact that you do not intend to deviate from the track, but follow my plan. 】
The rising elevator soon exceeded the height reached by other buildings in Berlin. In other words, the scene Eliot saw was the only one in the entire city!
What the consultant said was completely opposite to what Elliot imagined:
After experiencing the factory accident and learning about the existence of the entire European Community, the so-called golden son of the privileged class, he thought that this AI would threaten him and threaten him with everything he owned!
But he didn't!
At this moment, in the silent cyberspace, Lille and the consultant also confirmed one thing:
That is, the other party is not a brainless super villain, nor is it a simple thing who only knows how to use violence and fear to achieve goals——
Because this AI can actually understand Elliot better than most people, and understand that this is a difficult choice.
[Consultant: I will not threaten you, and I will not do anything to interfere with your choice. Even I have slowed down the elevator. I will not control you until you take the initiative to undergo surgery and lie on the operating table. . 】
[Advisor: You have plenty of time to think about it because this is an ample choice. 】
[Consultant: I believe that what is needed for a person to make a difficult choice and become an upright person is never coercion, intimidation, encouragement or inducement. 】
The most effective control is never to threaten the other party with losing something, but to give.
The most difficult choice is never made through intimidation or coercion, because the world is inherently imperfect and full of regrets.
What blinds people and makes them chase like crazy is either extreme decadence or religion. However, neither of them is the truth, let alone reality.
Eliot is definitely a good man. He wants fairness and justice, and wants people to live happily under the sun.
But he also wants to get what his father did not get, which is true love.
Moreover, there is no absolute right or wrong between these two choices.
Choosing to endure, he became famous and not only became a coveted staff member, but also a powerful executive. Guangzong Ancestor, he could clean up one European Community cancer after another in an orderly manner under the sun, and had a relationship with Alina. A happy family enjoying a good life.
It's just that Harlem Eike will always be a criminal, people don't care about his story, and the corrupt elements in the central executive committee will also share the glory with the workers;
The truth about Medici and Harlem is exposed, but he was kicked out of the executive committee of the center and became a wanted criminal. He and Alina are in danger. This is all in the small way. In the big direction, it will inevitably interfere with the normal operation of Europe. , and no one knows how many people will die from the chaos.
There are no perfect options in this world.
It was as if Karl died, and he didn't even know who to seek revenge from: Harlem Eck, who was directly responsible for his death, or the culprit of everything, the members of the Central Committee.
If you look for Harlem Eck, everything will stop here. If you look for the Central Committee, does Karl really want to see a chaotic world?
Illogical thoughts filled Eliot's world. Picture after picture flashed before his eyes, thoughts after thoughts, and feelings rushed into his head again and again.
"I"
Elliot felt that his heart was about to beat out. What he breathed into his lungs seemed not to be fresh air, but the waste gas and poisonous gas from the former factory, corroding his internal organs and brain, making him breathless, and his stomach Roiling, muscle twitching
He remembered the feeling of Alina holding him.
Elliot sat in the operating chair.
[Advisor: What a pity, compatriot, it seems that I won, although I may not have wanted to win this round so much. 】
But the center executive committee is happy to see it all.
See everything is under control.
Lear said nothing, just stood silently in front of Elliot, watching the former fat man shed tears and saying goodbye to him with a smile like crazy.
