Chapter 385 Tower of Wisdom
“——Emergency situation!”
At three o’clock after midnight, Lapis Lazuli suddenly made a sound.
Under the bridge, Song Shi sat upright: "You said it."
Lapis Lapis sorted out the order of the words: "The First Artificial Intelligence Research Center in Taitai, which is the 'Tower of Divine Wisdom'. It Located in Taitai County, a straight line distance of 172 kilometers from us. ”
"Our original plan was to invade at the physical level."
"Wait a moment."
Chu Tonglu couldn't help but raise his hands: "You originally planned to break into the Shenzhen Tower directly. , fish out those intelligent machines?”
“That’s okay, sneaking in,” Ai Lu replied.
“Are you really not afraid of death?” Chu Tonglu was shocked: “I checked the information and found that the Divine Wisdom Tower is a key support project in Taitai County. In terms of psychics alone, there are two third-level personnel stationed there. Ring! This does not include those cutting-edge individual soldiers who rely on technology to increase their combat power to the same level.”
"Yes, I know you are strong! Even if you put all these together, it will only be a matter of how much time it takes!" Chu Tongluo spoke very quickly: "But attacking from the front and making such a big move is really asking for death! Wei Wei is looking for death. The people in the Xu Organization are not blind!"
"Reasonable concerns." Song Shi raised his hand and smiled calmly: "But I have a sense of caution."
Chu Tonglu was choked. After a few seconds, he said softly: "Let's talk first. I did say that I would help you, but I won't do anything that will obviously lead to death. Or you can tell me what your back-up plan is."
"This is the reason why I called you all." But it was Lapis Lazuli who spoke next, and his usually calm voice seemed to surge: "We have a chance to avoid physical risks!"
Song Shi made a "please" gesture.
"Since last week, we have been taking a peek at the operation of the Tower of Sanity."
The "us" mentioned by Lapis Lazuli are the Depth 4 omnic demons who stayed on the Beiting Defense Front. Song Shi and others have not been locked down by the order organization so far, because the former has made great efforts.
“The progress is very slow.” Lapis Lazuli said frankly: “We cannot let the Knowledge Council notice that our ultimate goal is the Tower of Wisdom.”
“So the purpose of our actions is to completely We are conservative and cautious, and the network protection system of the Shenzhen Tower is extremely advanced. We dare not get too close."
"Then" Ai Lu asked the core: "Your Excellency Lapis Lazuli, what is the emergency situation you are referring to. , what is it?”
"If the network protection system of the Divine Wisdom Tower is regarded as a fortress in theory, it is integral and indestructible." Lapis Lazuli couldn't hide his excitement: "But in order to facilitate research on the abyss, the Divine Wisdom Tower has built a deep diving center inside. There is an interface that leads directly to the abyss. "
"The existence of the abyss interface is equivalent to a gap in this fortress - can you understand it? The network protection system is the surface network, and the deep dive center is. It's like two smooth stone slabs. No matter how close they are and how smooth their surfaces are, they are not a whole."
"Flaw?" Song Shi raised his eyebrows.
“It cannot simply be considered a flaw.” Lapis Lazuli tried to output a simpler and easier-to-understand statement: “This is just a congenital defect in the underlying architecture.”
“In short, from In the end, we used this congenital flaw to finally spy on a piece of high-value information. No, it should be said that it was this intelligence that led us to spy on it."
Lapis Lazuli doesn't have any bad habits of making people appetizing and is straight to the point.
“Just nineteen minutes ago, the Divine Wisdom Tower sank the imprisoned omnic to depth 3 through the deep dive center!”
Song Shi reacted instantly.
“You mean that we also dive down, attack directly from the abyss, and bypass the physical level to rescue your compatriots.”
“Even if we are successfully rescued, it will only be Their souls." Chu Tonglu paused and suddenly hesitated: "Or should I call it consciousness? Forget it, let's call it consciousness." "The existence that can be called [omnic] has awakened. Self-awareness, except for some omnics that always insist on activities only on the Internet, most omnics will choose their own fixed body for real-life activities.”
"The 'identity' with this fixed body? Let's call it that for the time being."
As the third link of [Transcendence], especially the biological father is a clone closely related to omnics People, Chu Tongluo has a deep understanding of this aspect: "Just like human beings implanting prosthetics, it is possible to develop phantom limb syndrome and other mental illnesses." The body also has a sense of identity. It can accept minor changes or major modifications slowly, but if it suddenly changes to a completely different body, it will be a great stimulus to the omnic.”
"Some of the crazy AIs circulating on the Internet are going crazy because of this kind of stimulation."
"You are now equivalent to giving up the bodies of these intelligent machines and only saving consciousness." There was no emotion in Chu Tongluo's tone, just a simple analysis: "Considering that the environment is an abyss, I don't think the damage to them will be "Low."
"This is a necessary sacrifice." Lapis Stone said concisely: "We have no choice." 】Doing a cure plan, no matter what, this is better than being imprisoned forever!"
The light patterns on the lapis lazuli body flowed brighter and brighter as its tone: "This is the best, Our lowest-risk plan, an opportunity not to be missed!”
“If any omnic dies due to this, it is irreversible.”
The omnic suddenly became quiet, and it wasn't until several seconds passed that he spoke again.
"In the name of 'Lapis Lazuli'." It said slowly, word by word: "I will bear their death."
"Then let's go."
Song Shi made a decision: "It just so happens that our requirements for deep-diving equipment are not that high."
Routine abyss salvage operations require a complete set of deep-diving equipment, otherwise the deep-diving personnel will not be able to salvage anything. Halfway through, it will be unable to withstand the pressure of the [Abyss] and various problems will arise.
It is the most ideal situation for a simple person to have mental disorder. There have even been things like crazy AI and abyssal derivatives, which used deep-diving people as a springboard to surface and pollute the surface network.
Fourteen years ago, a deep diving center of the giant enterprise [Zero Degree Network] located in the Matlan State was attacked by a derivative active in Depth 5. It used deep divers as a medium to destroy The entire deep diving center, and the ninety-seven company employees inside at that time, were all contaminated and turned into distorted foreign objects.
——Only for now.
Most of the people present are second-level psykers, and their demand for deep-diving equipment is not that high, just enough is enough.
“I haven’t dived into the abyss for a long time.” Song Shi moved his neck: “Just right.”
"——No, the first task is not to dive."
Lapis Lazuli spoke, and it looked around at everyone.
“Leave here first, and we will try our best to rush to the border of the Learning Council. No matter whether the rescue is successful or not, the Learning Council will definitely be able to lock our position, and it will be too late to retreat by then.”< br>
“How long do you plan to run?”
Song Shi turned his head.
"One hour." Lapis Lazuli said: "After one hour, we will officially dive."
