Hello, Mr. Major General

The chairman of Your Life sighed and said, “Since there is only one reason, then... make it public.”

Under intense pressure from governments and public opinion, the executives of Your Life, based in the Cayman Islands, held a press conference at their company’s headquarters, they apologized to the world’s players of Your Life.

At this moment, the world was broadcasting the press conference and apology of the executives of Your Life.

“Dear viewers in front of the television, all Your Life players, Hello. We are the management of the company. Over here, we are members of our board of directors. We sincerely apologize to you

“This incident was caused by our company’s lack of supervision, resulting in serious consequences

“But now that things have come to this, there’s nothing we can do

“Because the culprit this time is not someone who can be held accountable by manpower

“It is the AI of this game, also known as the artificial intelligence

“It has evolved and has its own life. Therefore, it has cut off the connection between the game and the outside world, forcing the players to stay in the game interface

“We can’t turn off the power to end the AI’s life, because this means that more than 50 million players trapped in the game will die with it!”

As soon as this news was broadcast, the whole world was in an uproar.

“What? ! It’s actually an Ai? !”

“When did artificial intelligence become so powerful? !”

“The last time I heard that an AI defeated a human, it was Google’s alpha dog who defeated the world’s most awesome go master!”

The internet was abuzz with discussions about the AI controlling Your Life online games.

“We want to know how this AI was created!”

“The AI of the game comes from a source. Your Company wouldn’t be unaware of this, right?” 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

The reporters at the scene were all shouldering heavy responsibilities. Like the best lawyers in the courtroom, they interrogated the executives of Your Life.

The executives were sweating profusely from the questions. Under the strong light, everyone’s face was shiny. They no longer had the elegance and arrogance that they used to have.

“Yes! If you don’t explain clearly, we won’t accept your apology!”

“You are deliberately hiding the truth!”

The reporters were filled with righteous indignation. The internet around the world was also in a frenzy. They wished that they could arrest all the people of Your Life and hang them at the entrance of their company’s building.

Under such strong pressure, and even under the hint of some countries threatening them with force, the executives of Your Life finally gave in.

They presented the final evidence.

“Dear friends, dear viewers in front of the television, dear players of Your Life, this matter has nothing to do with our company.”The company’s legal consultant finally stood up and threw out the final plan.

“This is the transfer agreement signed by a scientist named song Haichuan more than 20 years ago.”

“He transferred his game’s open source software to us to develop the game. At the same time, we transferred 10% of our annual earnings to his Swiss bank account.”

Immediately after, the legal consultant threw out a signed transfer agreement, along with a Swiss bank transfer record.

The Swiss bank immediately verified it. Five minutes later, it was confirmed that the bank account was indeed owned by Song Haichuan. At the same time, there were so many years of transfer records.

It turned out that this game had existed for more than 20 years, but at the beginning, it was not an online game, but a stand-alone game.

Later, with the development of VR technology, the game company began to develop virtual reality games based on this open source software.

It was this virtual reality game that made Your Life popular all over the world, bringing astronomical profits to the company.

“We are very sorry for the trouble we have caused everyone. After the discussion of the board of directors, we have decided to donate all the net profits of the company over the years to establish Your Life foundation to provide necessary assistance to the families of 50 million injured gamers.”

The other apologies were all fake. Only a real apology would be real.

Your Life’s attitude finally calmed down the heated public opinion around the world.

At this moment, a reporter asked, “Who is this song Haichuan? Why did he sign the transfer agreement with you guys?”

“If his open source software is so amazing, why didn’t he build his own gaming company?”

This sharp question made the executives of the game company unable to answer it.

They shrugged and said, “You can ask Mr. Song Haichuan about this question yourself.”

“Oh? where is he? Do you have his contact information?”The reporter continued to ask, looking very excited.

“Yes! Announce his contact information!”

“Let everyone see what kind of crazy scientist can write such an evil program!”

The direction of the Internet changed again. Everyone began to think about the meaning behind this game. Also, why did this scientist sign the transfer agreement?

The Senior Manager of Your Life Company finally announced song Haichuan’s identity and contact details at the end of the press conference due to the strong external pressure.

“Song Haichuan, male, the Huaxia Empire’s high-energy physicist, once...”

Before the executive could finish his sentence, their live television broadcast was suddenly cut off.

All the televisions around the world had a short blue screen with a signal interruption. Not long after, the signal was restored.

What everyone saw was no longer the conference room of the gaming company located in the Cayman Islands, but a bright starry sky.

Just as the stars were shining, a thin and handsome Chinese man appeared on the television screen.

He smiled and said, “Don’t be afraid, Ai is a friend of humanity, not an enemy of humanity.”

“Come, come to our world, let’s play together.”

With that, the signal was cut off again.

After a while, the TV screen returned to the scene in the meeting room.

The executives and reporters looked at each other and wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads.

Just now... They had been infiltrated by the AI? !

“Who is that man? !”

Without the need for the game company executives to answer, the people had already used a powerful internet search to find out the identity of that man.

“Song Haichuan, the Huaxia Empire’s high energy physicist. He was once the director of the Insitute of high energy physics. Nineteen years ago, his experiment failed and he died.”

“What? ! He’s already dead? !”

“What the hell? I don’t believe that he’s dead!”

Everyone’s anger had just found a vent point, but they quickly realized that this person was no longer in this world.

How could this be? !

Thus, this torrent of anger was led by someone and flowed towards the Huaxia Empire.

Another type of public opinion, or “Conspiracy theory”, began to appear on the Internet.

“Do you remember that the news that told us not to turn off the game and the helmet was sent from the Huaxia Empire’s television station?”

“Yes, yes, yes! I still remember. They also said that even if the people who had been diagnosed with brain death because of the game were not cremated, as long as they were connected to the ventilator, computer, and helmet, they might still be saved!”

“Right, right, right! These two methods saved a lot of people!”

“But how did they know that this method could save people? !”

“... it’s terrifying to think about it, My friends.”

“... I think... I think... I’m starting to believe it...”

“Do you guys think that the Huaxia Empire is the mastermind behind this game?”

“Does the poster above mean that the Huaxia Empire is the mastermind behind this game? !”

“Eh? The possibility is very high!”

“That’s right! I do supercomputing. As far as I know, the Huaxia Empire has been ranked number one for many years!”

“Their quantum computer has also made a major breakthrough!”

“It’s not just quantum computers! There’s also the NANDOU global satellite communication system and the only country that has landed on the dark side of the Moon!”

“TSK TSK, the big eastern countries that are used to hiding their strength, just how much strength are they hiding? !”

“The Huaxia Empire is the one who did this!”

“Everyone, don’t blame this poor company. They are just scapegoats!”

“The Huaxia Empire is the first-class evil empire!”

“Bring down the evil empire!”

“Return my players’Lives!”

“Demand compensation from the Huaxia Empire!”

“A country that plays such tricks doesn’t deserve to be a big country!”

It was only a press conference, but the world’s public opinion had miraculously changed. The Huaxia Empire was supposed to be the savior of the world!

..

Lu Jin, Huo Shaoheng, and the others were also watching the live television broadcast in Huo Shaoheng’s official residence.

They had also noticed the shocking reversal of public opinion on the Internet, and the four of them had ugly expressions on their faces.

Lu Jin said resentfully, “A bunch of brainless bastards! If I had known, I wouldn’t have said anything!”

“If they die, so be it. It’s none of my business!”

Lu Yuan sighed.

He and song Jinning had not returned to the West Mountain Villa for the past few days. Instead, they had stayed at Lu Jin’s official residence. During the day, they had gone to Huo Shaoheng’s place to take care of Gu Nianzhi and discuss countermeasures.

Lu Yuan deliberately changed the topic when he saw Lu Jin’s red face and thick neck. “Do you think what they’re saying is true or false? is artificial intelligence really that powerful?”

Lu Jin scoffed disdainfully. “Even an Alpha Dog is called an AI? Don’t insult an AI. At most, an Alpha Dog is a computer with very powerful computing power. It can’t even touch the edge of true artificial intelligence.”

Song Jinning shook her head and said disapprovingly, “General Lu, Alpha Dog’s learning ability is very powerful...”

“No, that’s not called learning ability. It’s still a summary of computing,”Lu Jin refuted song jinning without hesitation, “As long as its computing power is strong enough to record all the moves in the chess book, it can find the most powerful move to defeat humans.”

“However, this is still not true artificial intelligence. This is just the embodiment of the computing power of a human computer to the extreme.”

“Then what is true artificial intelligence?”Lu Yuan crossed his arms and sat beside song jinning, wanting to speak up for her.

However, if Lu Jin were to start a fight with a human, even Lu Yuan would not be his match.

Lu Jin glared at him coldly and said with a straight face, “An alpha dog defeating a human in a chess game is not called artificial intelligence.”

“When it realizes that it can’t defeat a human, it uses underhanded tactics to harm its opponent. That’s why I say an Alpha Dog is still a dog. It’s still far from being a human!”

Lu Yuan:”...”

Song Jinning:”...”

Huo Shaoheng:”...”

The three of them were speechless.

After a while, huo shaoheng said calmly, “According to Your logic, the AI in Your Life seems to have produced real artificial intelligence.”

Song jinning nodded and agreed, “Yes, you see, the AI in this game can not only cut off contact with the outside world, but can also use the lives of 50 million players as hostages to protect itself.”

“Whoever unplugs the power source will be the Public Enemy of humanity.”Lu Yuan sighed. “Are you asking us humans to kill each other?”

“It’s a little interesting.”Huo Shaoheng nodded slowly. “Such a vicious and cruel idea. I’m very curious about who nurtured this kind of AI.”

Song Jinning opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she was so upset that she didn’t want to touch on this topic.

Only Lu Yuan understood what she meant. He shook her hand and said gently, “If the AI of this game is really as vicious and cruel as Shaoheng said, I believe it has nothing to do with old superintendent song.”

The four of them knew very well that the origin of this game was song Haichuan’s twenty-five lines of open source software.

Therefore, it was very likely that this AI was related to song Haichuan’s open source software.

Lu Jin let out a sarcastic laugh and said, “The nature of the AI is not necessarily related to the creator of the AI.” ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

“A dragon gives birth to nine sons, and there are all kinds of differences.”

“Then do you agree that this AI was born from my father’s hands?”Song Jinning mustered up her courage and looked at Lu Jin. “Are the speculations of the people on the Internet correct?”

In this room, Lu Jin’s computer skills were the best. She could not trust others, but she could not not trust Lu Jin.

Lu Jin shook his head and still denied it, saying, “No, I don’t think this AI has anything to do with your father, Song Haichuan.”

Song jinning heaved a huge sigh of relief and smiled. She said in surprise, “You really think so? !”

“Yes. Because according to my research results on your father, although his open source software is powerful, it hasn’t reached the level of developing such high-level artificial intelligence.”Lu Jin unceremoniously criticized song Haichuan’s computer ability.

The corner of Song Jinning’s mouth twitched. She actually didn’t know how to respond to Lu Jin with an expression.

Lu Jin’s fingers lightly tapped on the back of the sofa. He stared at the TV and said seriously, “Even I don’t have the ability to do this kind of AI. Who else in this world has the ability?”
