Chapter 1,287 The Mastermind
1287
The road to the center of the island is long and difficult to walk. There are many traps and ambushes set up on the road. However, for Xu Taiping, none of these are big obstacles. When encountering traps, just cross them. When encountering obstacles, destroy them directly with brute force.
As a heaven-level master, Xu Taiping has enough confidence to face many difficulties and obstacles in this world.
After walking for about half an hour, a pyramid-like structure appeared in front of Xu Taiping.
This pyramid is somewhat similar to the ancient Mayan pyramid. The pyramid is made of stacked stones.
The pyramid is large, but not high, only about four or five stories high.
A square building can be clearly seen in the center of the pyramid, which looks like a temple for sacrifice.
Xu Taiping was not the only one who came here. Just when Xu Taiping arrived at the bottom of the pyramid, two people also arrived at the bottom of the pyramid.
These two people were wearing masks and walking together, so they seemed to be in the same group.
According to the information Xu Taiping received from Yue Tutu, at least two people from Kunlun will come to the Rothschild family's treasure house, because Kunlun must give Mr. Cat a quota, and they themselves must have at least one quota. Therefore, the number of people coming here from Kunlun is greater than or equal to two people. The two people in front of them may be from Kunlun, but it is not absolute.
Xu Taiping had no intention of saying hello to them, and the two of them had no intention of saying hello to Xu Taiping. The three of them climbed up the steps of the pyramid respectively, and then went to the center of the pyramid.
The pyramid is not high, but each step is very wide, so Xu Taiping did not climb the tower very quickly.
The two people who climbed the tower like Xu Taiping didn't seem to be in a hurry, and walked up slowly like Xu Taiping.
After walking for about five minutes, the two groups of people arrived at the top of the pyramid.
The top of this pyramid is indeed a temple, with two weird statues placed at the door, which look like dogs.
According to what Xu Taiping learned about the history of the Rothschild family, this should be the totem of the Rothschild family.
The door of the temple was closed. Xu Taiping was not in a hurry to go to the door, but looked at the two people who came up with him.
The two people, like Xu Taiping, were not in a hurry to go inside.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened by itself.
"Come in. I haven't seen a living person for a long time." The voice from before came from the door.
Xu Taiping raised his feet and was about to walk in, but found that the two people next to him were also raising their feet at this time. Xu Taiping hesitated, stopped, and then pointed to the door, indicating that the two people should go first.
The two people were not polite to Xu Taiping and walked into the door first, followed by Xu Taiping.
Inside the door is a dark space.
The sun shines in from outside the door, and something can be vaguely seen.
At this moment, the lights suddenly turned on.
The whole space suddenly became clear.
The first thing that appeared in front of Xu Taiping were stone statues, each of which looked different.
Xu Taiping walked under one of the stone statues and found some words written under the stone statue.
"Stewart Rothschild (1989-2039), the twenty-fifth patriarch of the Rothschild family, nicknamed Baron..."
baron?
Xu Taiping was a little surprised. This baron was a great patriarch of the Rothschild family, but he was later killed. It was said that he was killed by Zhao Gangjun and Zhao Tiezhu, father and son of the Zhao family. He didn't know if it was true.
Xu Taiping looked at the words under the stone statue. These words recorded the Baron's life, but they did not describe why the Baron died.
Xu Taiping looked back and found that these stone statues were the patriarchs of the Rothschild family. This family started hundreds of years ago and continued to decades ago. Xu Taiping took a look and found that there were a total of twenty-seven. Ren's clan leader, and after the twenty-seventh clan leader, there was no new clan leader.
This means that by this time, the Rothschild family has died.
Xu Taiping found it quite sad. A family that was known as the Third Reich at its peak was swallowed up by time. Now, few people remember this family. In a few decades, the older generation will After everyone is gone, perhaps no one in this world will remember the Rothschild family, a family that was once glorious beyond words.
Xu Taiping suddenly thought of what Zhao Taixun had told him before.
Maybe Zhao Taixun really has some difficulties, or maybe Zhao Taixun doesn't want the Zhao family to follow in the footsteps of the Rothschild family.
Xu Taiping continued to look to both sides. There were many transparent display cabinets on the left and right sides of the temple. There were many things in the display cabinets. Xu Taiping thought they would be very precious things, but unexpectedly they were not. He The first thing I saw was the saddle of the first patriarch of the Rothschild family. This thing has a certain historical value, but compared with the items in the Rothschild family that are worth over 100 million, this thing Really worthless.
Xu Taiping looked along and found that what was displayed in these display cabinets were some daily necessities from the Rothschild family, most of which were the patriarch's daily necessities.
"Welcome to the Rothschild family." The voice that appeared before sounded again, but there was no one else in the temple.
Xu Taiping looked around. Except for the two people who entered here like him, there were no other living creatures in the temple.
"No need to look for it, I'm not here." The voice said.
"Who are you?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Me? My name is Russell Rothschild. This name was given to me by my master, and my master is the 25th patriarch of the Rothschild family, Stuart Rothschild. ." said the voice.
"Russell? Where are you? Outside the island?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I... on the island. In fact, I am not a human being. I am just a program. To be more complicated, I am an artificial intelligence. I was born from a technology project called "Future" a hundred years ago. This project It was funded by the Rothschild family and conducted by the top scientific team at the time, aiming to create an artificial intelligence with an IQ close to that of an adult. I was born in the later stages of the project, in the life of my master Stuart Rothschild. A year before my death, I already had rudimentary intelligence, close to that of a three-year-old human child. Later, my master suffered a fatal blow, and the "Future" project was ultimately shelved due to lack of funding, and I was placed on the I entered the huge host computer, self-calculated, and evolved until later, Bird Rothschild, the last patriarch of the Rothschild family, discovered me. At that time, I had reached the intermediate level of intelligence through self-calculation, and Bird Rothschild built this Rothschild family treasure house in accordance with Stuart Rothschild's last wish, and I was placed here and became the mastermind of this island." Russell said.
"You were already at the intermediate level of intelligence at that time? What about now?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.
"Now I have reached the level of advanced intelligence, which is equivalent to your normal adult humans, so the future plan at that time can be considered a success." Russell said.
"Holy shit, that's awesome!" Xu Taiping couldn't help but admire. You know, the most cutting-edge artificial intelligence today is only the intelligence level of a seven or eight-year-old child, and the Rothschild family a hundred years ago The artificial intelligence developed now has the intelligence of adults. This means that the scientific power of the Rothschild family a hundred years ago has actually surpassed that of today. No wonder people at that time said that Rothschild The family is a family that is a century ahead of the world.
"I have the computing and thinking abilities of an adult, but unfortunately, I don't have any creative abilities," Russell said.
It can be clearly felt that Russell said this with sadness.
"The biggest difference between humans and artificial intelligence is creation. Because creation requires a soul." One of the two people who had never spoken suddenly said.
This person's voice was very strange and neutral. Xu Taiping confirmed that he had never heard it before.
"Yes, I have no soul. All my ways of thinking come from equations. This is very sad. Moreover, my programming requires me to stay here forever, so I don't know what the outside world is like. Yes, I can only stay here for the rest of my life until one day my energy is exhausted,” Russell said.
"How pitiful." Xu Taiping sighed.
"This is my destiny," Russell said.
"Is there anything valuable in this room?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Here, there is only history. This is an exhibition hall of the history of the Rothschild family. Hundreds of years of history of the Rothschild family are in it. I don't know what you mean by preciousness. To me, these records The most precious things are the things that tell the history of the Rothschild family,” Russell said.
"Then do you know that there is a Marrow Cleansing Sutra in the Rothschild family treasury?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Yes, wash the lower part of the marrow meridian." Russell replied.
Xu Taiping's eyes lit up and he asked, "What about the gangue ore?"
"Yes." Russell replied.
"Awesome!" Xu Taiping smiled, "Where are they?"
"They are on the island, you have to search for them yourself." Russell said.
"Can't you tell me?" Xu Taiping asked pitifully.
"Everything on this island can only be discovered by you. Everything you want is on this island. The most precious paintings in the world, the most expensive diamonds in the world, and the unique unique copies in the world. , they are all here. As long as you can find them, they all belong to you. Now, you still have half an hour. Go find them quickly." Russell said.
"No." Xu Taiping shook his head and said with a smile, "Even if you find it, you can't take it away, right?"
