Chapter 545 NO-FATE

545: no-fate

Who's Afraid of Mechanized Exoskeletons?

Who is vigorously promoting artificial intelligence?

Will the chaos caused by Cybertin Corporation to the Ministry of Defense happen again?

Did Artificial Intelligence Really Nearly Cause World War?

Should human safety be handed over to robots or to humans themselves?

A few days after the little-known little war in Los Angeles, a series of eye-catching headlines appeared on the front pages of major newspapers, reporting from different angles and asking a terrible question ——Is there a black hand behind the scenes who wants to bring artificial intelligence to the fore?

Since 1994, when the system developed by Cybertin almost controlled the computer of the Ministry of Defense and launched a nuclear war, the word artificial intelligence has quietly occupied a part of human life. Although real artificial intelligence has not yet been realized, this concept has already penetrated into all aspects of people's lives.

It seems that someone is trying to make people forget the chaos created by Cybertron, hoping to bring artificial intelligence into everyone's life. Finally, the point blew up.

John Connor, one of the founders of the newly established Assault Group Company, was raided and assassinated, and then the research center was attacked by a group of unknown militants. However, it was this company that just proposed the concept of a mechanized exoskeleton To replace the popular robot soldiers before.

This incident, coupled with overwhelming public opinion, immediately made the U.S. government take it seriously, and after secretly interrogating the captured Kosmos soldiers, a mysterious organization surfaced—the Kosmos, a cult that worships artificial intelligence , and it seems that there is still a lot of power.

But this organization hides too deeply. After the U.S. government took down a few small assembly strongholds, the clues to this organization were cut off. Moreover, the U.S. government still has illusions about the role of artificial intelligence, so it can only classify this organization as a cult organization and declare it illegal, and there is no further action.

However, with the help of this wave of momentum, Assaulter Group and Zeira, which produce mechanized exoskeletons, began to develop rapidly. The two companies competed with each other, won several large orders from the Ministry of Defense, and launched export models. export to other countries.

This is an epoch-making equipment that can allow an ordinary soldier to have a load capacity of 200 kilograms in an instant. After mounting the armor, it is completely a humanoid tank, and it is not bulky. It has become the darling of the international arms market.

Other countries have also followed suit and started to develop their own mechanized exoskeletons. Among these followers, Guardian Heavy Industry, a subsidiary of China Guardian Group, has come to the forefront. They also launched their own mechanized exoskeleton products with excellent performance in China, forming a competitive relationship with the United States in the international market.

However, in the United States, a down-and-out reporter named Blair of ABC National Radio suddenly published a big piece of news!

Zeira's beauty president, Catherine Weaver, is a robot! ! !

Blair used a lot of candid photos, interviews with Zeira company insiders, and interviews with Catherine Weaver's neighbors to prove that this beautiful president has behaved very strangely since her husband died in an air crash in 1993, and The possibility of a personality change caused by her husband's death was ruled out.

This revelation immediately erupted public opinion in this society, which is already very sensitive to artificial intelligence! Zeira Company and Catherine were immediately surrounded by countless reporters and media!

Things finally came to a head when, during an outing, Blair suddenly ran out and threw a watermelon knife at Catherine! Catherine was cut and bled, and Blair was taken away by the police.

After the incident, Catherine seemed to be devastated. After leaving a suicide note, she committed suicide by jumping into the sea from the Golden Gate Bridge. Her body has not been found yet. Her four-year-old daughter, Savannah, was adopted by John Connor of the Raiders Group after she renounced her inheritance rights in her will.

Then the two CEOs who succeeded Zeira were unable to lead the company further, and were finally acquired by Raytheon, and Zeira was buried in the yellow sand of history.

United States, Arlington County, Virginia, Pentagon.

Two men in black suits walked into the office carrying a briefcase made of metal. On the wrists of the person carrying the briefcase, handcuffs were firmly handcuffed to the briefcase.

The two came to a heavily guarded corridor. After extensive inspections, the two in black suits walked to the elevator at the end of the corridor and went directly to the underground.

In an underground laboratory, several people in military uniforms were waiting there.

The black suit immediately gave a standard military salute to the person inside, then uncuffed the handcuffs and handed over the briefcase. An officer came over, entered the password, and opened the briefcase. Inside was a watermelon knife and several test tubes.

"Blood samples and DNA have been extracted from the watermelon knife that Blair chopped Catherine Weaver, and the conclusion is that the blood is 997% similar to her daughter, Savannah Weaver." A black suit reported.

"Even if she is Catherine's daughter, it's impossible to have such a high degree of similarity!" said a slightly older officer.

"If it's all her daughter's blood, it's easy to explain, so what's the difference with 003?" A young officer asked.

"It's fluorocarbons. In 1966, Chinese scientists proposed the possibility of using this substance to replace blood, and published related papers." The black suit replied.

"In other words, this is artificial blood..." an officer pondered.

"It seems that what the reporter from ABC TV reported was not groundless." The old officer stroked his beard and continued, "So, have you found the strange woman you found in San Francisco before?"

"I found it. She killed dozens of policemen, and later offered to surrender to us. She has been under secret custody." The black suit pointed to a stack of photos in the briefcase.

The old officer pulled out the photos and looked at them one by one. If Tang Yu were here, he would be surprised to find that these were photos of Lei Li Valencia, also known as Blood Rose! !

The officer nodded and said: "Then, this project is entrusted to you, Captain Robert Brewster."

The young officer immediately stood at attention and saluted, and replied loudly: "Yes!!"

Los Angeles, USA, Los Angeles National Cemetery, 1997.

A man in a black windbreaker stood in front of an unremarkable tombstone. He covered most of his face with a cloak on his head, and he also wore black gloves on his hands, covering his whole body tightly.

The man held a bouquet of white flowers, gently placed it on the tombstone, and stretched out his hand to wipe the tombstone. On the tombstone was written:

Sarah Connor, 1959~1997

no-fate-but-what-we-ake

(Fate is not doomed, we need to create it ourselves)

He stood in front of the tombstone for a long time, until his body seemed to twitch uncontrollably, and some black fine sand leaked out of his clothes. Then, he turned and left silently.
