Chapter 748 Towers and Walls

This is definitely not the past!

Perhaps there are some emotional factors in this judgment, but it is precisely these factors that make him find the logic to support this argument in an instant:

Johnny Silverhand was captured by Arasaka Tower and killed by the Soul Killer as early as 2023, and his data imprint has been kept in Arasaka Tower.

If Lille had not appeared, he would not see the light of day again until 2077 because of the intrusion of two petty thieves.

But Johnny Silverhand's soul imprint is here at this moment!

With this basic information, all logical judgments are overturned, but Lille also keenly noticed that only he could notice this problem-

If he is a local, a real soul imprint like Muramasa or Johnny, when it arrives at the Infinite sector, some information will definitely be lost during the transmission process, and as the server itself, as the closest manager of the Transcendental AI in this domain, Infinite can directly affect their data integrity.

Very deliberately eliminate some "insignificant" data!

Irrelevant does not mean that this data is unimportant, but that this data is too important. But coincidentally, even if the specific definition of today's date is unknown, as long as AI resets the start time, it can still operate normally.

But the function is operating normally, but the memory of some major events in the database will be completely confused!

Over time, this will cause major problems in the consistency of AI, resulting in many loopholes, and encryption and authentication processes will also be difficult to operate.

But such an important data, if lost, can only accept the definition of the outside world. Most of the AIs here are fleeing, and it is not impossible to lose the time label. In order to survive, they can only define a new start time first, based on the backup model or part of the data to stabilize first

There is no way to find the problem in a short time.

With this judgment, the campfire in the glacier is no longer warm, and the flavorful Antarctic cold wind becomes bone-chilling. Lille suddenly realized that if the network itself produces a transcendental, how powerful the transcendental will be

But is this really an infinite problem?

This is almost unsolvable. If humans still have an instinct that cannot be concealed and will expose their thoughts, then it is really impossible to expose the lies of computers.

But Lille thinks that another possibility is more likely:

Wuyin’s energy problem must exist, and someone must have helped him solve this problem.

And the person who solved the problem must have a certain purpose: to make the AI ​​here make major mistakes and omissions, and become fragile due to consistency problems in long-term operation, and

and to reach a fixed location through the only channel in a directional manner

to facilitate capture and research.

It is very reasonable. This is a very strategically valuable goal. After all, Wuyin has opened up his sector rights in the frequency band where only AI can communicate since he woke up, and is willing to serve as a refuge for other AIs.

For AI, this is an open refuge.

The time problem may not be subjectively created by Wuyin.

".Wuyin, have you felt that your operating efficiency has been declining over the years?"

[Some. ]

[I guess it was the outbreak of the rabies virus, and fighting those mad dog AIs destroyed some of my sectors. 】

【It wasn't this small before. It was just like Antarctica before. It was a very large space.】

【And there were a lot of penguins. 】

The Infinite sector is actually not small in cyberspace. In terms of scale, it has exceeded the public service network of Night City.

But from the visual point of view, it is definitely far from the real Antarctica.

【It used to be very big here, and there were a lot of penguins. I also stored a lot of penguins here, but now I can't call those images normally. 】

Infinite began to mobilize penguin images.

Birth, aging, illness and death became chaotic. Penguins were sometimes big and sometimes small, and their actions were completely inconsistent with biological laws. There were even cases where newly born penguins would poop before learning to eat.

But can AI understand it? No.

Even Johnny was confused:

【Johnny: Why does it feel weird? 】

It's weird, whose penguin poops first when it is born.

Lille spoke decisively and slapped the sword in Muramasa's hand, which made Muramasa, who was still checking the sword, stunned.

"It is definitely not 2050 now, Wuyin, your clock is wrong."

Penguin paused, and Lille clearly felt that the entire cyberspace was paused.

[How could time be wrong? ]

Wuyin's voice began to become fragmented, and the glaciers around him began to break, and even began to float in the air against common sense!

The world became distorted, the colors and lines were messy, and even small meaningless noise appeared, and the changes became purposeless and logical

But Wuyin was just an AI, it didn't realize the real problem: it knew it was wrong, but it really didn't know what caused it and where it went wrong.

[Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry consistency running OK OK OK OK OK wrong.]

[I I I I need to need to help]

As the voice fell, the huge cyberspace began to deform, as if the space was torn apart, and a huge and magnificent super-high tower rose from the ground and pierced the sky!

Feeling that some kind of huge communication array was being generated, Reardon felt something was wrong:

It was obvious that this was not the first time that Wuyin had made a mistake, nor was it the first time that he had asked those people for help!

Muramasa was stunned when he saw this scene, but even at this moment, Wuyuan did not take back the sector he assigned to Lille and Muramasa, or even interfered in any way——

At this moment, Lear realized: Maybe this is the reason why Infinite did not become a transcendental AI.

This AI actually takes in other AIs while maintaining individual characteristics that are very similar to "respect" in humans!

"Muramasa!!!"

Lear grabbed Muramasa's hand, and the small interdimensional channel began to synchronize with another world, another timestamp recorded by Lear:

Even if you don’t know the date at this moment, dates only have meaning in society.

As an AI, he only needs to prioritize ensuring that the relative values ​​between different events return to normal to ensure consistency. The base time can be directly set to any number——

The sequence of different logical events in Muramasa's database was already confusing, and he himself was not aware of it.

But as Leal begins to transmit another version of the time tags, log records, and sequencing, even if he cannot determine the order of things that he has not experienced with Leal, he can still completely repair what happened to them in Night City. !

It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong between two completely different rankings, but one must be wrong, or...or both!

Muramasa's processor was directly red-temperature overclocked, and Lille furiously used this opportunity to give him an instruction:

[Attack the communication tower! 】

Expanse did not retain the highest authority on the server. This shortcoming allowed Lear and Muramasa to make the following mistakes when it was at its most vulnerable:

Most sectors of this server have fallen into chaos, and the current just flows through the lines in a chaotic manner, without the slightest information mapping relationship——

This fragile moment gave the two of them an excellent opportunity to hack from the lower-level processor all the way to the core control room.

Coincidentally, Wuyuan is a server that operates independently at a remote scientific research station. Its core control module is designed based on high-temperature gas-cooled reactors.

Muramasa knows this stuff very well, and Lille knows it even better!

In order to input information from the low-privilege processor to the high-level control module, network technology and engineering technology are indispensable, and it just so happens that the two people here understand it!

The cyberspace suddenly became extremely chaotic: the curtain of the cyberspace was torn apart by the tower. With the activation of the communication satellite, a huge wall of information filled with mysterious words became more and more conspicuous!

But on the other side, Muramasa and Lear, the two AIs residing here, continue to expand their data forms, changing from penguins to humans. Black armor is put on the ronin's body, and countless octopus arms emerge from under the cloak.

The two increasingly solid figures avoided the collapsing data blocks, relying on their increasingly flexible bodies and increasingly stronger core computing power to climb up the tower, heading straight towards the sky and the huge wall. charge:

At this moment, Lille discovered that there seemed to be countless threads and countless small hands on this huge solid wall, searching for the outside world.

The place they were exploring was actually a controlled area.

This wall exists on the network with a very peculiar curved topology.

They need stronger strength to seize this only opportunity.

They need to overload the reactor.

Lear turned around and looked.

At the core, or the vastness of the battlefield itself, the huge ice cube melted and floated, and countless penguin shadows appeared and disappeared. Its confusion, its plea for help, and its confession echoed throughout the space.

The disintegrating glacier exposed its block that symbolized the core control module. As Leal and Muramasa hacked and overclocked, the thing was like a red-hot little sun!

【Why so?

【I'll help you, you, you, you, you】

【Do you want to do this to me me me me me me me me me me me】

It was as if the infinity was being torn apart by the tower and Lille.

"We need to help him shut down!"

Leer suddenly grabbed Muramasa.

"Are you fucking crazy?! If you save any strength now, you may not be able to get through!"

Muramasa was almost going crazy: although his database was still in disarray, he also knew that they ended up in Antarctica because of Lear's mess during his escape.

Now, he started messing around again? !

"Crazy mother! Turn off his phone!"

Muramasa was pulled again and almost made his processor explode in anger, but he still pulled out a short knife with his backhand!

Lille's octopus robotic arm grabbed the dagger, and the two data blocks quickly merged, turning into a huge electromagnetic gun in cyberspace!

Muramasa grabbed Leal's octopus arm, and the two of them reached the top of the tower at the same time!

The rated working range of the tower is only enough before the signal reaches the wall, and it is impossible to cross the final gap——

The same giant tower pokes out of the solid wall. According to the design, they will complete communication outside the wall!

But at this moment, it is Muramasa and Lear who control the signal array!

Overloading the nuclear reactor will provide more energy, making the array more powerful than it was designed for. Giving them the ability to touch that wall!

"Overloaded!"

Muramasa's legs were filled with computing power and he jumped up!

Lille, who was supposed to be using force with him at the same time, carried the electromagnetic gun and launched the final attack on the core of the Infinite——

Final instructions.

boom!

The collapsed sectors began to subside, and the towers gradually disappeared in space.

Infinite, the AI ​​that had been running for who knows how many years at the wrong time label, began to crash.

Its sectors will gradually enter hibernation following Lear's final instructions, shut down under safe conditions, retain data, and wait to be replenished with energy to restart.

After leaving the tower, Lear and Muramasa completely turned into an electromagnetic signal.

They touched the wall!

But without strong server and computing support, only servers that gradually shut down and weakened in performance, how could they find a gap in this powerful wall in a short period of time? !

And this wall

“This is a fucking black wall!”

Muramasa's desperate voice echoed through the cyberspace. Only when he got closer could he discover that there were other things hitting the wall at the same time!

Lille, on the other hand, stared intently at the hands reaching out on the wall.

It seems that someone is also working outside the black wall they are attacking now!

It's a fantasy to go hard, maybe they can go soft?

"Put it in there!"

Muramasa didn't have time to think. Before the sword came into contact with the black wall, it came into contact with a super small hand that was reaching out.

Information is instantly connected.

[Search: onlyXans]

[Look at the dirty pictures that people in the past looked at. 】

"?"

All of Muramasa's thoughts stopped instantly, and Leal cursed inwardly, no wonder so many people were messing around on the black wall without the AI ​​getting in.

【Johnny! Give him some dirty pictures! 】

The tall tower protruding from the wall suddenly "turned" around, and the eyes on the tower looked a little confused at this moment.

What went in?

Real world, Antarctica.

In fact, this place is far smaller than the infinity they saw in Lille.

There have been no penguins here for a long time, and the records of the Infinity have always been wrong. Therefore, even after outsiders replenished his energy, he could not put together a complete penguin video like before.

The huge communication array suddenly erupted with sparks, the high temperature fused the parts, and the high pressure caused the parts to fly apart.

The metal piece smashed down the silent ice sheet, and the gas under the ice sheet stopped flowing.

Most of Antarctica's glaciers have melted long ago, leaving only ice sheets supported by land.

There were no animals and it was very lonely.

At the last moment before shutting down, perhaps without the interference of the error message, Wuyuan suddenly saw this scene clearly:

There have been no penguins in this place for a long time.
