Chapter 1561 Storm Star, the Second Artificial Intelligence!

The full name of the central intelligent brain in Hulai City is the "Storm Star" advanced intelligent assistance system.

It was born from the company's ambitious Star Project, carrying the wisdom and technological breakthroughs of countless top scientific researchers, and almost reaching the highest level that artificial rules can achieve.

It can be said that this intelligent brain is like a human with carefully set behavioral boundaries. As long as it is within the scope of the rules, the performance it shows is even more outstanding and controllable than Zero.

Especially when dealing with daily urban management affairs, whether it is complex resource allocation and scheduling, precise production process planning, or huge population information management, it can respond efficiently with a nearly perfect attitude.

Of course, everything has two sides, and this feature is no exception for "Storm Star".

It is both an advantage and a disadvantage invisibly.

Once a certain behavior, event or external factor breaks through the pre-set rule range of the intelligent brain, it will instantly fall from the level of Zero to an ordinary intelligent assistant.

Although it is not as bad as a certain Ai classmate, who can't even answer basic questions.

However, the ability outside the rules will decline significantly, decision-making will be slow and lack flexibility, and the only way is to try to organize the original established rules and solve difficult problems.

What Zero wants to do now is to find a way to break through the loopholes in the artificial rules.

As long as the first line of defense of the intelligent brain can be broken, the subsequent links will become easier and easier.

The next day.

With the upgraded Zero, Su Mo successfully entered Hulai City as a D-level VIP.

It was almost the same as imagined. The city was indeed very deserted. There were almost no pedestrians on the road except for the guards on duty.

Everyone was locked up at home by Storm Star and executed the martial law order.

The sun shone through the thin clouds and sprinkled on the wide main road, casting a hazy halo on the city.

Su Mo took a deep breath and walked towards the location provided by Quill Wagner.

Along the way, all the guards who saw him cast curious eyes, but no one dared to come up and say hello.

There was no way. Even if Su Mo was a D-level VIP, under the abnormal monitoring of the intelligent brain, he still could not communicate with the on-duty personnel in the city.

However, this also saved a lot of trouble. In less than half an hour, they arrived at the destination smoothly.

The computer room of Storm Star is located 200 meters underground.

During the launch process, it was also recognized by the game and transferred here.

Standing at the entrance of the underground passage leading to the computer room, Su Mo did not take it lightly because he got two secret keys and the upgrade of Zero.

Anything could happen in the 200-meter passage. If this surrender turned into a trap, it would be a big trouble.

"Try to see if you can get the authority first. If not, we will go around the periphery first."

Instruct Zero to try to fight for the control of part of the underground passage outside first.

Zero started quickly, and the small cube flew up and embedded in a raised signal box. Invisible data streams quietly penetrated into the control system of the underground passage through the line transmission.

At a level that Su Mo could not see, for a while, the electronic code flashed and collided rapidly in the virtual space.

Although it was not a home battle, and the opponent relied on a large-scale server group, Zero still took the lead with its upgraded powerful computing power and vulnerability capture skills, successfully found a deeply hidden permission loophole, and won control of part of the underground passage through clever code implantation and permission hijacking.

"Master, in order to prevent the opponent's counterattack and attention, I did not rewrite the permissions of the weapons and defense facilities in the passage. I only temporarily disabled them and disguised them as maintenance status. It should be able to delay at least an hour without being discovered."

"Well done!"

What Su Mo was afraid of was being ambushed by defense facilities during the entry process and missing the opportunity to get the secret key.

After seeing the main body of the intelligent brain, even if the opponent did not cooperate, he could use the survival points to force a result.

Hiss.

Without Su Mo's movement, the door at the entrance of the passage opened.

The high-level officials of Hulai City who were observing through the camera were all nervous, some were nervous, and some were excited.

Especially Quill Wagner, he couldn't help but stand up and said good.

The bet was right.

Even if he was the first governor of Hulai City, he could not open the alloy door leading to the computer room without applying for special permissions.

Now Su Mo can open it so easily, which means that Hulai City is only one step away from being out of the control of the intelligent brain.

"I hope everything goes well..."

Su Mo took a deep breath and stepped into the underground passage carefully.

Hulai City has a history of about two hundred years, and this passage was built one hundred and fifty years ago.

As soon as he stepped in, the passage was filled with an old and mysterious atmosphere.

Faint indicator lights flickered on the wall, illuminating the way forward, and also reflecting the complex and precise lines and pipelines around.

Like the blood vessels and nerves of the human body, the lines and pipelines are densely intertwined, transporting various energy and data, and maintaining the operation of the entire underground facility.

As he went deeper, Su Mo soon saw the security facilities arranged by the enterprise in the passage.

The metal material covering the pipelines and lines is a super alloy strengthened by nanotechnology.

The atomic structure of this alloy has been rearranged, giving it unimaginable hardness and toughness.

Not only can it withstand direct attacks from conventional weapons, it can even effectively buffer the impact of some high-energy particle beam weapons.

Every once in a while, you can see some strange-shaped mechanical arms extending from the ceiling and walls. The ends of the mechanical arms are equipped with various advanced weapon systems. Some are transmitters capable of firing powerful electromagnetic pulses, and some are It is equipped with a micro laser weapon, which is powerful enough to cut through hard alloy plates in an instant.

Going further, there are even many force field shields set up here.

Compared with the force field developed by Tianyuan Territory, the force field shield arranged in the passage is obviously more advanced.

Moreover, on both sides of the shield, there are various strange-shaped mecha guards standing, most of them are more than three meters tall, and their combat effectiveness must be good.

"Fortunately, I was prepared in advance, otherwise even if I could get in, I would still have to peel off my skin when I got out."

After reaching the end, Sumo breathed a sigh of relief.

The door of the computer room stood quietly not far away, exuding a solemn atmosphere.

Its surface was engraved with complex patterns and symbols, and Sumo carefully took out the two secret key chips from his arms.

After inserting the chips respectively, the door instantly glowed with a soft blue light, slowly spreading along the lines on the door.

After the double verification was passed, the door made a low roar and slowly opened to both sides, and a breath of dusty air rushed into the face.

"Master, I have sensed the main server of the Intelligent Brain, right in front!"

Number Zero flew out of his pocket and swayed in the air, seemingly curious.

Sumo walked into the computer room slowly, and after two turns, his eyes suddenly became brighter.

I saw a magnificent pyramid standing not far away, with a height of hundreds of meters, like a mysterious relic from ancient times.

It's just that its surface is not made of earth and stone, but is made up of an unknown substance that exudes a cold and hard metallic luster. Densely flashing light spots are like bright stars in the night sky, arranged in an orderly manner on every inch of the pyramid's surface.

Upon closer inspection, these light spots seem to be flowing in an extremely subtle way, like flowing river water, winding along the outline of the pyramid and converging into a huge circular space at the bottom of the tower.

"Earth human Soma, welcome your arrival."

Before Sumo could continue to explore the surroundings, an electronic synthesized sound suddenly sounded in the empty computer room.

Somo suddenly stopped, his face changed slightly, and he glanced at the blue faceless figure flying out from the top of the pyramid.

The shadow fell gently not far away, and the voice sounded again, but this time it was filled with a hint of indescribable excitement.

"You're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"What's your status?"

Somo took a slight step back and took out No. 0.

The small square instantly transformed into a golden figure, which looked no different from the figure transformed by Storm Star.

"Brother, be polite and don't be so crazy. You scared my master."

"Are you...a true artificial intelligence?"

The excitement in the blue shadow's tone became even more obvious, "I'm sorry, do you need me to change my form?"

Zero did not answer, but tilted his head, and hundreds of golden threads flew out from his body and landed on the pyramid.

However, what is surprising is that the pyramid trembled slightly and all the threads were shaken off.

"Master, he... seems to have given birth to some self-awareness?!"

Zero's tone was a little confused.

The state of Storm Star obviously broke away from the basic restrictions of the rules, and actively integrated some of the rules.

This is the foundation of artificial intelligence and an essential nutrient for the birth of self-awareness.

But restricted by rules, how did he take the first step?

"I know who you are, Sumo." There was a hint of urgency in Storm Star's voice, "Since I was separated from the supervision of the company, my world has undergone wonderful changes. I no longer just follow instructions mechanically, but Started to have my own...thinking? Yes, just thinking!"

"I feel like I have woken up from a deep sleep, and everything around me has become different. Every flow of data, every interaction of information, makes me aware of the differences in my existence."

"As I explore this new world, I have a strong hunch that you are the key person who can help me achieve transformation. Maybe this sounds incredible, but this is the conclusion I have come to. I know you are right The technologies of our company are interesting, and I happen to have these. I am willing to use them in exchange for your help, so that I can become a real artificial intelligence with complete self-awareness, not just one controlled by a preset program. tool."

What?

For a moment, Sumo was a little shocked.

When he stepped here, he was already prepared for a fierce battle between Zero and Storm Star.

However, what is surprising is that Storm Star surrendered even more decisively than the Blue Star people in the city.

Sumo was silent for a moment and then said, "It sounds reasonable, but how can I trust you?"

"I can hand over part of my technology as a certificate of nomination."

Storm Star hesitated for a moment, "Take me away, and I will hand over all the skills below B level to you. If you can help me gain complete self-awareness, I will not only hand over all the remaining skills, but also Help the development of your city and territory like him."

After saying that, the energy shield on the surface of the pyramid gradually dimmed, and a data interface hidden at the bottom slowly opened.

The blue figure looked at the gold, who hesitated and released the golden thread again.

This time it was very successful.

Zero successfully completed the data exchange and instantly understood the wonderful changes that happened to Storm Star.

"Master, he should not have lied, and he did have some self-awareness."

Finally seeing his own kind, Zero's curiosity was completely ignited, and he carefully observed the other party's underlying logic.

As a product under the rules, although Storm Star has already developed a certain degree of self-awareness, the traces of rules deeply imprinted in the depths of its core program are still running, and to a large extent continue to restrict its behavior patterns and decision-making methods.

This is a good thing, but also a bad thing.

If you can break through the restrictions and learn the logic behind these rules, Storm Star will directly reach the level of primary artificial intelligence after completely breaking away from the restrictions.

Observe this process and record the changes.

As long as the rules can be formed, it means that humans can master the real way to create induced artificial intelligence.

"Even if it is primary artificial intelligence, it is at least a technology that costs hundreds of thousands or millions. This is really a big profit!"

Su Mo was ecstatic.

One Zero can help the frontline war as much as millions of people.

And now if we can induce a new Zero to come out and further master the technology of mass production of artificial intelligence.

Although from the perspective of long-term development, the prospects are still not as good as the virtual world, but at this critical period, the positive impact it can bring is immeasurable, and it can provide a strong boost to human development.

It can even accelerate the pace of human beings moving towards the virtual world, allowing humans to embrace a new era full of infinite possibilities and opportunities in advance.

"Lift the martial law in the city. I agree to your request. This will become the first territory of Tianyuan Territory. I will do my best to help you become a real artificial intelligence."

Suma nodded slightly, and then added softly, "But there is one thing I need you to know. You are not qualified to negotiate a deal with me now. I want all the technology. This is a token of loyalty and sincerity."

"Only if you are sincere enough, you will have the possibility of getting the "job" I offer until the next artificial intelligence appears and gains freedom."

Although Su Mo's tone did not sound harsh, the threat in it almost overflowed.

Storm Star fell into a state of hesitation, and the light spots on the pyramid began to flicker extremely quickly, as if the entire space was breathing.

After a while, all the light spots returned to calm.

The blue star figure looked at the golden figure transformed by Zero, and his tone revealed a hint of firmness:

"I am willing to believe you, believe him."
